"your stomache and mouth will soon be joyous".. That's from the opening of cuisine korea. Or as they call it: "koo-zine korea". Or maybe that's the correct American pronunciation, but in Canada we pronounce it the French way, so it always makes me laugh.
Personally I really like the show "My Funky Family". I love how every other episode centers around someone trying to get married but then somehow being foiled (like the person they picked turns out to be mad).
The fashion show is always interesting to watch. It's like a train wreck. The host always has to babble platitudes for two minutes before they start a segment. Inevitably they don't know what to say, so it's just a string of disconnected idioms. The other day she signed off with "until next time, we will see you back here at the same time on the same channel, or maybe just a little bit sooner".
What?

I guess that I am in the minority, because I like Arirang TV. I agree about the commercials and the promos, but a lot of the shows give me insights into everyday life that I would not get anywhere else. Some of the documentaries are wonderful, and where else would I see what a group home for developmentally disabled adults looks like? I remember a story about a man who moved back to his hometown to operate a bus, because there was a need for it. Considering all the nonsense about how Korea is all cellphones and high tech, it is nice for an American to see what life is like outside of professional Seoul. The channel isn't perfect, but it is far more interesting than watching Oprah on AFN.

Hey Noel!

Down with New Zealanders!!


Just messing.... It's me, the Canadian guy from the KLI class in the summer. Funny seeing you on here. I see you love Arirang TV as much as I do!

Arirang isn't much different than other Korean stations. My big problem with Arirang is that it lacks in-depth investigative reporting (just like the English language newspapers). I think it should try to do a better job at informing us of such things as a serial killer being on the loose and of products that are unsafe to consume. It almost seems as if they want us to think Korea is the bestest place in the whole wide world.

One good show that is on is the movie show.

Arirang is pretty bad, i watch KBS Drama more than I watch Arirang

I'm more concerned about the OP's English! Who still uses the word "golly"!!!?

[bigorangedot]

Yeah, Noel, I never heard you use the word "golly" in class!

I just don't watch Arirang anymore, most of it's so boring. There's a lack of professionalism and quality that should be in a TV channel.
That heart to heart chick is just weird. I can't figure out if she's cute or weird-looking.
But I will say that cuisine korea show, despite the bit about joyous stomachs and mouths, there are some hot girls hosting that show. There's one really hot girl on there, one episode she was in a bikini!
And I did like those nonstop reruns and some of the documentaries.
Overall though the English is just so unnatural.
