<h2 style="text-align: center" dir="center">Namaste to all Korean Hive Villagers! 😊🙏</h2>

Ever since I started watching Korean dramas, I have known one thing: these people are very fond of eating delicious food and mainly drinking soju. And this fondness is so strong that just like me, their eyes light up when they see their favourite food. 😃😋

And I am not talking about any particular drama here. If you are a fan of K-dramas or have watched some Korean dramas, then you will agree that in almost every drama, you will get close shots of delicious food and drinks, and I personally like this thing very much. Why? Because food and drinks play a significant role in connecting people, it is one of the few things that connects us all beyond borders and languages.

So after watching so many dishes in dozens of dramas, one Korean food that has made my mouth water the most is Kimchi. Well, for those who are unaware of it, kimchi is a traditional Korean side dish made from fermented veggies, mainly napa cabbage or radish and as far as I can understand, it tastes spicy, sour, slightly juicy, and mildly sweet. Ah, even while writing about it, I can fantasise about its taste.

I have never tried it, but '**Crash Landing on You'** was one of the dramas I watched that showed how to make kimchi. But then I came to know that fish sauce is also used in making it, and I was heartbroken because I am a vegetarian, but then after a little research, I came to know that it can be made in a vegetarian way without fish sauce and it is also available in some places in Korea. Although I have not tried it yet, I want to, and hopefully soon I will get a chance to taste authentic kimchi somewhere in my city maybe, and whenever that happens, I will share that experience also with you all. 🥢

한국 드라마를 보기 시작한 이후로 한 가지 알게 된 게 있어요. 한국 사람들은 맛있는 음식을 먹는 걸 정말 좋아하고, 특히 소주를 즐겨 마신다는 거예요. 그리고 그 애정이 너무 강해서 저처럼 좋아하는 음식을 보면 눈빛이 반짝반짝 빛나죠. 😃😋

여기서 특정 드라마에 대해 이야기하는 것이 아닙니다. 한국 드라마 팬이거나 한국 드라마를 본 적이 있다면 거의 모든 드라마에서 맛있는 음식과 음료를 가까이서 볼 수 있다는 데 동의하실 겁니다. 저는 개인적으로 이 부분을 정말 좋아합니다. 왜냐고요? 음식과 음료는 사람들을 연결하는 데 중요한 역할을 하기 때문입니다. 국경과 언어를 넘어 우리 모두를 연결하는 몇 안 되는 요소 중 하나니까요.

수십 편의 드라마에 나오는 다양한 음식들을 본 후, 제 입에 가장 군침이 도는 한국 음식은 바로 김치입니다. 혹시 모르시는 분들을 위해 설명드리자면, 김치는 배추나 무를 주재료로 발효시킨 한국의 전통 반찬입니다. 제가 알기로는 매콤하고, 시큼하고, 살짝 즙이 많고, 은은한 단맛이 나는 맛입니다. 아, 글을 쓰는 동안에도 김치의 맛을 상상할 수 있네요. 한 번도 먹어본 적은 없지만, '사랑의 불시착'이라는 드라마에서 김치 만드는 법을 소개했었어요. 그런데 김치에 액젓도 들어간다는 걸 알게 됐어요. 채식주의자라 좀 아쉬웠는데, 좀 알아보니까 액젓 없이도 채식으로 만들 수 있고, 한국에도 몇몇 곳에서 구할 수 있다고 하더라고요. 아직 먹어보진 않았지만, 꼭 먹어보고 싶어요. 언젠가 어딘가에서 진짜 김치를 맛볼 기회가 생기면 그때 그 경험을 여러분과 공유할게요. 🥢
