- There's twists.
- How old are they?
- There's turns, you don't know what's gonna happen.
- Sounds like something I would watch.
- [Jasmine] Hi, I'm Jasmine.
I'm half Korean.
- [Carolina] Hi, I'm Carolina.
My parents are both Mexican.
- [Jasmine] And today we're swapping
Korean dramas and telenovelas.
- Novelas are very important to me
because I feel like they kinda gave me
my passion for acting in a way.
- And Korean dramas have been
a huge part of my life.
Korean dramas really helped me develop my language.
- [Both] Drama swap!
- My choice was "Stairway to Heaven"
because if you haven't seen "Stairway to Heaven",
I don't think you can actually say you know Korean Dramas.
This is like the ultimate Korean drama classic,
it is crazy.
There's death, there's memory loss,
there's love-triangles, there's everything
you need in a Korean drama.
- I think it's interesting that it said
"Stairway to Heaven" when they're on a carousel.
I feel like in novelas, everything is so centralized
in the intro, but this one like literally
I felt like I was supposed to be really upset.
- In that scene where she's getting dragged,
you know I don't condone violence but in this show
I will say I was not upset to see her get dragged
like that, because I hate her and not to be dramatic
but like I really really hate her. (laughs)
- She was being dragged in the middle of a mall
and no one noticed.
No one was like, "Hey sir stop that".
Like why are dramas like that?
I'm gonna be swapping Alegrijes y Rebujos.
Basically about these kids that find
a haunted mansion that's haunted by this like
wizard-magician man that died in the house.
All of them randomly start living in the mansion
and they like run into ghosts, and like witches,
and things like that and all the while,
there's a love-triangle going on with 12-year-old kids.
- This sounds like something I would watch
so I'm very excited. (chuckles)
These graphics are everything.
How old are they?
They literally look like they're seven
and they're about to kiss?
Don't look at her like that.
That's so, you're too young.
Honestly I'm shook by the children
even being possibly in love.
- It's so funny cause like at least for me growing up,
it was very much like you don't like date boys
until you graduate from high school.
I mean me growing up and watching this I'm like,
but these, I mean that girl's like kissing that boy
and she's like 7 years old like what about me?
(laughing)
- This gives me "Wizards of Waverly Place" vibes actually.
- [Carolina] Yes.
- I feel like we had very very different picks.
- I was gonna say, they're so vastly different.
Like, I feel like yours was a lot more dramatic,
granted mine was also like centered towards children
so I mean, there's only so much drama you can give
to a child before traumatizing them I feel like.
- Today I'm swapping "Boys Over Flowers".
It's a Korean drama classic that you have to watch
and it's about these four hot guys in high school
vie for the attention of this working-class girl so yeah.
Why wouldn't you want to watch that right?
- Sold me.
(laughing)
- My heart. (laughs)
I'll swoon. (laughs)
- Where are the teachers?
- Who cares?
He's so hot. (chuckles)
- Okay can we talk about a Cinderella moment?
That was like too intense considering like
they weren't even like kissing or making out or anything
he was just putting her shoe on.
- So it's crazy cause there's a love triangle
with that hunk right?
But this is another guy
from F4 and he's friends with the other guy
that we saw from the other scene.
- There's like no guy code.
- [Carolina] Are they in an airport?
- [Jasmine] Yeah.
(Laughing)
- This one seems like very in my age range-ish.
So many boys, you know I love that.
- So I will be swapping "Teresa".
I feel like a lot of novelas and dramas
in general it's very much like,
oh rich-poor girl gets saved by like the rich man.
But in this show, it's like the poor girl is trying
to save herself but she's like evil.
Its like crazy.
- Oooh she looks dangerous.
Oh spicy already.
What a beautiful way to cry.
Is there a camera in there?
Who looks that good yelling at a teddy bear?
- Oh my god I need to explain because--
- Okay yes please. - There's just so much.
So Teresa, kinda like the girl in "Boys over Flowers",
she goes to a really rich school on a scholarship
but she doesn't tell anyone that she's poor.
She tries to get with this one guy from that school
and then he finds out that she's poor
and he tells everybody.
She's also in love with this like he's like this poor man.
If I remember correctly,
he starts to date this other girl
who is actually her best friend and like
she's yelling at the teddy bear like,
"Why do you love her?
Like, you're supposed to love me like you're mine."
- Oh no she didn't.
- Teresa knows she's beautiful, she knows she's smart.
Even the clothes that she wears it like accentuates
her body perfectly so like it shows off her boobs,
it shows off her butt, so she can use all of that
to get what she wants, to get the job she wants,
to get the men she wants and she's like not ashamed
and not afraid to do any of that.
- Honestly I want what she has: confidence,
and then like rich men.
Both Korean dramas and telenovelas look like they are
super dramatic and chaotic and I am here for that.
- There can never be too many love-triangles
I feel like, and the thing about both K-dramas
and telenovelas is there's different ones that
like they attract younger kids and like teenagers
and then there's some for the older people like
they have something for everyone
and I definitely will be watching "Boys Over Flowers".
(upbeat music)
- [Child] Poro Like.
