I brought ten bottles of cherry flavor Nyquil back two months ago, it's expensive at the black market stores here. I heard that there's a Korean brand out there, but it's nowhere near as good as Nyquil.
The Red Door in Itaewon had it last January and February. |

Dude, saying that the Korean stuff isn't as good is a bit of a stretch. Nyquil is just tylenol, a cough suppressant, and an antihistamine that will knock you out (the same stuff that's commonly taken back home and here in Korea as a sleeping aid). |

Anybody know the *name* of the Korean equivalent? That would be a handy thing to have around should a cold/insomnia strike. Nothin beats the 'quil.
As was once said.... "either way you win"  |

I heard it's not as good. Haven't tried it, yet...who knows, it might even be better! My wife said it really sucked though 
faddat, someone should know what it's called. |

I've gone through two of them already. Wife and I both have mild ENT colds right now. MMmmmm, cherry flavor!

Just heard the name is "Co-Co syrup" but it's supposedly for kids, not adults. This is why I think it might not be the same strength, etc. |

For 500 KRW I got a sot and some pills.
I felt fine the next morning and went to work.
Three days later no sypmtoms at all.
Nyquil never did that for me.
National health insurance YES! |
