I never nitoced that, Soju but it's way straaange.
Do you think it's intentional or just sloppy scene setting?Did the psychodelic (sp?) Hippy thing happen in Koreain the '70's and '80's instead of in the '60's like here?

The reason the wall paper is the same is because the set designer used his 20% coupon at Home Depot !!! And while we're on the subject of everything being the same on different dramas....The living room always has the "Head Armchair" where the head of the house sits, and then a sofa with a back on one side, and a sofa without a back on the other side of the armchair. And everyone eats fruit all cut up with a fork! The house on Likeable or Not is very similar to the style of house in High As the Sky.

I started eating cut-up fruit with a fork after seeing it on all these dramas Haven't yet taken up eating my rice with a long-handled spoon, though.

My grandmother had those little forks and they look exactly the same but I never knew what they were for. I was watching my first drama a little bit ago and I thought"Ohhh, so that's what those are for". She never used them around me but for some reason I wish she did About those wallpapers, I have seen those a few times as well but, the only drama I've seen that was way different from the style and culture you see in most k dramas was coffee prince. The set looked like american apartments and none of them lived with their parents

A lot of k-dramas play 40 year old American pop music in the background. Maybe they like showing 40 year old American pop art as well? I noticed the background music they play and always wondered why they chose those songs.

In my family we always serve grapefruit with salt and sometimes even put salt on watermelon.

My husband's family does a lot of things I thought weird. (salt on fruit; brushing the teeth with anise sticks (toothpaste, too); peeling an orange or grapefruit in a spiral and hanging up the peel in the house.) Now, forty plus years later, I'm doing them too.

I would think that the hanging orange peels makes the house smell of oranges, that house would smell good but those fruit flies are annoying
