Things Nobody Tells You About Marrying a Korean

Things Nobody Tells You About Marrying a Korean (From a Filipina 🇵🇭 married to one, and is together for 8+ years) PART 3 Samgyupsal won't be your favorite Korean food anymore. One day you'll be craving Galbitang, Gamjatang, Gamjatang, naeng myun, and jeyuk instead. 🤤 Your mother-in-law will probably teach you how to make kimchi. Just like in the K-dramas... except you're the daughter-in-law now. ❤️ Your kids will have their own fan club. Grandma. Grandpa. Aunts. Uncles. Everyone wants to care for them. 😂 Every trip to Korea somehow always includes Convenience Stores, Olive Young and Daiso. You tell yourself you're "just looking" ... You never are. 🍔 You'll eventually wear a hanbok. At first it's for photos... Then it quietly becomes part of family celebrations and memories. ❤️ You start looking at Korea differently each time you visit. At first you're a tourist. Then one day... it starts feeling like your second home. Your fridge slowly fills up with little containers of banchan. Open the fridge... There's kimchi, spinach, bean sprouts, radish, fish cake... ...and somehow there's always room for more. You'll start looking forward to Korean fruit season too. Persimmons. Chumoe. Korean pears. Strawberries. Every season has something to look forward to. ❤️ Growing up with just wet and dry seasons... You'll start looking forward to spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Every visit feels a little different. 🌸☀️❄️ Your Korean in-laws might not just welcome you into their culture... They may also come to your country, try your food, meet your people, and learn about your culture too. And that kind of love feels extra special. ❤️
