K-Drama School - Ep 184: Summer Scent and Authentic Heartbeats
Description
[Spoiler Alert] Grace discusses an old-school show entitled Summer Scent (2003, KBS) starring Song Seung-hun and Son Ye-jin directed by hallyu K-drama director Yoon Seok-ho of Autumn in My Heart (2000) and Winter Sonata (2002). Grace mentions the Coen brothers’ A Serious Man (2009) and compares its essential message to Zen Buddhism. Grace wonders what Indian saints who live with nothing would think of Grace’s materialist consumer lifestyle in America. Grace has relocated to Madison, WI and making adjustments. She asks you all to give a shout if you’d like for her to visit your town for a book talk.
