HATE: The One Cashing advert with the woman in the yellow dress dancing. It does my head in.

LOVE: Well love is maybe a bit strong but I enjoyed the Angry Whopper advert a month or two back where the woman lept over the office desk. And when I first came to Korea (in 2007) there was an advert for something I can't remember now, and the phone number ended in 2525. And they said......EEEEEEEEEEE-O-E-O! That's stuck with me even today.

Anyone else love/hate adverts here....or am I just sad?

Yeah, that one was hilarious. It's kinda similar to the A4/Double A paper commercials where they show (only saw female) office workers blowing up from stress.

Reminds me of my office.

LOVE: I've got energy: a power company commercial
Group of school girls dancing and singing,
and it sounds like "I've got an orgy."

HATE: all of the T.O.P. coffee commercials and hate the coffee, too.

Can't think of many I would love, but I really don't like the 'Lollipop' CYON one.

Love: Samyang/Chingoo ramen
It's got the bubble bobble theme if anyone knows WTF I'm talking about.

Girls Generation Ramen Commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihIcb8a7ysk

And just in case you think I'm crazy:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK7GomkN2nw



Hate: There's a lot, but my current itch has got to be the one the OP mentioned.

Yeah that DC card one is pretty hot.

I don't know why, it seems like it would get annoying after a while.

But it's so damn cute!

This is the full 2 min version. Pretty catchy, and KAJ is pretty easy on the eyes.

I had a heck of a time trying to find the full version on youtube. eventually found it on naver, but u beat me to the punch.

the best part of that video is the backup dancers, they're hypnotic. Their dance moves, that is......

I hate: The Matiz advert when they are spelling Creative. It sounds like C R E A T R V E - They are mispronouncing the I and it does my head in.

I think the Rush and Cashing advert with the talking turnip is cute especially when the scary woman swipes the card in the turnip dude's butt!
