and rich handsome guy.
(Speaking Korean)
- They are recycled over and over
and over again for people tend to
cling to those stories to escape and
just forget about it all.
- Do people fall in love and then
their love complicates the plot?
(laughing)
That's a good show.
- [Voiceover] How do they fight in K-Dramas?
- There's a lot of,
either passive aggressive like (grunts) like looks.
Or like collar grabbing.

- Yes. (laughing)
- Who kicks people the chest?
(Speaking Korean)
(kicking and painful grunt)
(Speaking Korean)
- Hey, are you out of your mind?
- You, shut up.

But I'm full of chemistry.
All men go crazy for me.
