Not only the dramas. Also the animes. And some of the bands... L'Arc en Ciel? Wonder how it's pronounced in Japan.
The Japanese do have some certain degree of fascination of the French.

Yeah, I think some of the Japanese love something of French culture. French cuisine, wine, old French pops, films, fashion etc.

Lupin the Third.
http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=234fAJvjqv0I think Lupin should be a French. A French version of Lupin has a different name.

yup I noticed that as well. They had a frenchy castle in Princess Hour. Wonder Girl's latest video has a frenchy setting. There is also a cafe franchise in SKorea that has a frenchy name. Make me wonder if they have an identity crisis.

i dont know how popular french stuff are popular in korea, but if they are it's most likely the fashion stuff. i think koreans may view france as pretty fancy and luxurious and koreans like that type of stuff

"Lupin" is from "Lupinski", a gallicised Polish surname, it's pretty common in France.

france is synonymous with luxury, fashion, cuisine, art and culture and colonialism.
it's hard to avoid things french in general.

Koreans are jealous of the French and pretty much any other country b/c they are cleaner and more developed than they. Korenas have the biggest inferiority complex people in the world. That's why they will scream like retarded monkeys if you do as little as say you don't like the smell of kimchi. Kind of reminds me of how 4 year old children react in civilized countries. LOL

I am quite offended by this remark but then again, I'm not going to be because there are plenty of countries out there that
do have a serious inferiority complex. Say whatever you want to say choseunghui, but you know you will suffer consequences if you keep undermining Koreans that way.
