I'm so into kdrama these days. The cuteness of the Korean characters and the unexpected plot twists just excites me and makes me happy.
Now I bet you haven't seen this one so I'm sharing this with you.
새로운 사랑 새로운 삶
New Love, New Life
행복한 (Haengboghan) and 동경 (Dong-gyeong) met when they both worked for the same company some 50 years ago. Although Haengboghan was 13 years Dong-gyeong's senior, they really hit it off well. They married and had 3 children and were never apart, always doing things together, getting through tough times and celebrating the good times.
After 47 years together, Haengboghan succumbed to liver cancer and Dong-gyeong was left with only memories of a fine marriage. She knew that Haengboghan has moved on, rejoicing in heaven with the Lord. And she has decided to move on with her life, too. That was what he would've wanted for her.
Wishing to realize an enjoyable retirement life, she left Korea more than a year later and met 멜빈 (Melvin), a man of integrity, kind and generous who was wishing to find a godly woman to spend the last chapter of his life with. He became Dong-gyeong's hand to hold, heart that listens and shoulder to cry on.
And so Melvin and Dong-gyeong have decided to love each other and get married.
That's not the end of this kdrama. It is only the beginning. The wedding will be on May 6, 2017 in Wooster, Ohio.
To Tito Melvin and my Mom, I only wish happiness for both of you. You are God's gift to each other after all that you've been through.

I can almost see my Dad looking upon us now, slowly shaking his head but with a secret smile on his face.
