Are Korean roads that dangerous? All those accidents - though many of them seem to be due to management companies overworking stars.

Oh my thank heavens he's ok!

It's life, that's happen every day...

haha. yes, korean roads are absolutely crazy:D people don't really pay the rules any mind, as evidenced by that woman. :/

"Are Korean roads that dangerous?"

It varies from country to country, but in general the traffic Asia is pretty wild and sometimes exhilarating in an extremely terrifying way. Studies have shown that road safety in Asia is significantly worse than the United States and most European countries. Studies have also shown that participating in NanoWriMo increases activity/interest in reading studies about road safety in Asia. Procrastination has not been eliminated as a possible explanation.

well...korean dramas always have the drivers suddenly making u-turns, suddenly swerve to the roadside, stopping other cars and buses by overtaking them and blocking them, etc.... :P

"korean dramas always have the drivers suddenly making u-turns,"

Word. When a car drives into a ditch, that's not bad driving. It's character development!! :D (See One Fine Day.)

belleza, you are too funny. I would think cranking out 50K words is no problem for you! I rank driving in Seoul right up there with sky diving.... things I never want to try! Last year, I spent a week there staying with my friend, so I was in the car a lot (vs. the subway in my other stays). It was nothing for my friend to zip up a street the wrong way, ride on people's bumpers, cut off people, double park, etc, but that was the norm. Even her auntie in her 70s was that way behind the wheel! It made me think that the rule that "the car never stops" in a Korean drama is pretty accurate!

haha chajjyae, thats a very nice connection you made XP no wonder

Another car accident , tsk ..tsk ... lucky that he's OK

yeah! I notice in Korean dramas, when they always talk on cell phones while driving (that's a bad habit to promote omo ..) and some drivers just curb to the roadsides suddently when they get mad ...

For a frightening moment, I thought he got hurt or worse. I read "car accident" in the title and my mind already conjured up several horrifying scenarios and I didn't even have time to finish reading the title. *headdesk*

LOL you crack me up! That was awesome. And fyi, procrastination is my middle name.

Okay what the heck is up with the drivers? Seriously...I am planning to go to South Korea for at least a year and this is something I worry about. There seems to be so many drivers who don't care about the traffic laws and do whatever they want.

Is the Korean police lax on giving out tickets or what...I've heard some scary stories about the way people drive there and how they don't care if your a pedestrian they will drive however they want.

Does Korea have a lot of scooters or motorcycles?

That's one of the reasons the roads in Taiwan are so dangerous, because these scooters/motorcycles are swerving all over the place.

can you send me the whole original sound track (ost) in a zip file if you have it?
i am currently watching this drama and i must say, it is addicting!
please and thank you :D

too many car accidents happening in korea..i have been a kpop fan and i notice that many celebrities encounterd car accidents... i just wonder why???
