K-dramas and C-dramas really are something else. I did more screaming and running around while watching Business Proposal than in all of the western romance movies I’ve watched combined.

You don't have to do something special to be friends. You don't have to worry about each other after a fight. Jokes can be made as comforting words, or cry for their pain instead. No. Just by being together, we were friends.
