October Virtual KClub

~ rmanuel191 ~ Leave a comment

Need a new hobby to keep your spirits up while we’re all social distancing?  Been watching K-Dramas for years and want to meet new K-Drama lovers?  Love BTS but don’t know much about Korean television?  Break out the kimchi and join us to watch an episode of one the hottest Korean shows, then pop onto a Zoom call to chat about the show, the newest Korean music, and Korean culture – all from the comfort of our own homes.

On October 24, from 6:00pm – 8:00pm, we will be watching the pilot episode of “Another Miss Oh.”  Two women, both named Oh Hae Young, keep running into each other’s lives.  Between sharing the same school as kids and sharing the same career as adults, not to mention their issues with men, their lives are an entangled mess.  When one man, who can see glimpses of the future, becomes involved in their lives, he will have to choose which Oh Hae Young he wants to be with.  And both Oh Hae Youngs will have to learn how to separate themselves in order to live their lives as their own people.

Ages 16+

Registration is required to receive the Zoom link and viewing instructions.  Register on the event calendar here.
