I bought our first LG refrigerator.
My husband wanted another brand (which shall remain unnamed). It’s the brand we’ve trusted for more than three decades. But because of all these product placement from kdramas, I overruled him and went for the LG.
The humiliating part is I was particularly adamant (okayyy…I admit I was a bit whiny) about the brand, LG, because I like its FREAKING logo. Like, who cares about the fridge specs?? And who cares about the price tag? I dumbed-down and pick the fridge because of that smiling, winking emoji of LG.
Ooohhh. If I could bitch-slap myself, I would. I fell for the product placement.
Darn Hwayugi! Darn Best Hit! Darn Because This is My First Life. Darn Reply 1988. Darn fridge indoctrination!
I knew I wasn’t going to use all those shelves for kimchi storage.
I knew no zombie would ever sleep in there.
I knew I wasn’t going to keep bottles of soju in there.
I knew I wasn’t going to put bottles of mineral water in there either.
There were reasons not to go for this fridge but I felt sorry for the fridge when Cha Seung Won when he opened it and saw that empty shelves except for a plate of salad and a couple of jars. No fridge should be bare like that. Is there such a phenomenon as pity-shopping?
So welcome, LG, to your new home. Don’t worry: I’ll treat you better and fill you up with yummy ice cream and healthy meals. I hope you’ll live well with the rest of my kitchen appliances. They’re your noonas and hyungs now. 
Family!
What about you? What product did you buy because you watched it in kdrama?
A Samsung refrigerator and Samsung cellphones. LOL. BTW, the goong post won’t publish my reply.
“I don’t remember now exactly but I think it was after the family luncheon. The birthday was Yul’s. The one where the shit hit the fan. Shin broke off from his Ballerina but CY misunderstood him and thought he intended to live with the Ballerina. Ah, wait, better clue would be the forced kiss. He wanted to remind her who the husband was. Little git. “
LOLOLOL!
I was walking in the mall the other day and saw this really neat Samsung fridge that has like a tablet on the front for seeing what’s inside without opening the door, making grocery lists, finding recipes, etc. I was like “Oh hey, that’s super cool! I need that $7000 fridge!” And then I noticed it didn’t have the little drink door partition thing like in the k-dramas and changed my mind. :joy:
There was a forced kiss, too? This drama definitely needs a rewrite.
You got the Samsung ref? I thought of getting the Samsung ref, too, but I was afraid it would explode like the cellphones. hahaha.
No, seriously the “family hub” feature looked tempting but I decided it was too gimmicky and techy. I want my fridge to be about food and drinks. I don’t want the highlight of my fridge to be the DOOR with all its latest tech gadgets. I cook messily as it is, without being distracted by the TV and the internet on the fridge.
The phones are also tempting but everybody in my family uses iphone and I have to facetime them. My work phone is also iphone but I don’t have any say in that because it’s company-issued. Plus, I like the little quirky features for iphones. For instance, on New Year’s Eve, all the texts we sent out at midnight had fireworks (to celebrate New Year’s Eve). Those people with Samsungs didn’t get the “fireworks” with their greetings. I know, I’m pretty juvenile with my reason for liking iphones…but it works for me.
I know! We also checked out that Samsung fridge too with the “family hub.” My husband actually liked it but I vetoed it because of its techy-gadgety add-on features would only make me scared to approach my fridge. You can put your calendar on it (this feature was cool. Where was this when my kids were young?? Our family calendar was half the size of the kitchen table. lol.) and you can also watch TV on it (but since I rarely watch TV nowadays, I didn’t need it on the fridge).
See how our tastes are being manipulated by these kdramas? No drink door partition? Sorry. Nope. You’re a failure of a fridge!!!
What I DID want from these LG and Samsung fridges is pretty low-tech. I wanted to be able to stick my fridge magnets to the front of the fridge again. lol. I have a collection of fridge magnets and I had to put them away ever since we bought our first stainless steel fridge. Magnets don’t stick on the stainless steel. 🙁
Glad I dont have the problem.. Lol..
PPL don’t work on me.. 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
Are you sure? 😋Have you eaten at Subway recently? Have you ordered “iced AMERICANO” instead of simply “iced coffee”? Have you tried banana milk? Do you buy Korean make-up? Have you been to a BonChon?
I tried banana milk once just to see what the whole fuss was all about. It tasted oddly sweet at first and my throat refused to swallow. I had to tell myself it was just like a liquid-y banana smoothie.
There’s a BonChon about 30 minutes away from home, and I order wings to go when I’m too tired to cook dinner. I’m getting addicted to the pickled radish, too.
Ssssttttt… just give this to me for THIS time.. 🤣🤣
I just bought waffle maker because recently I watched some variety show that show making waffle for breakfast. It’s not the same brand and type as in the vs, and it’s not from Kdrama.. so it doesn’t count hahahahaha 🙊🙊🙊
Ice americano? Bonchon? K-Cosmetics? ~Pretend innocence~ 😂
