K-Drama: Seung-won witnesses Park Joon-mo assault his wife

Following are this week’s synopses of shows on KBFD TV, which televises Korean dramas with English subtitles.

Everyone in South Korea is now younger by one to two years with a new law that took effect on Wednesday.

For generations, South Koreans used their “Korean age” vs. calendar age which the rest of the world follows. When a child is born, they are considered to be 1 year old; on New Year’s Day, everyone ages another year despite their date of birth.

So if a child is born on Dec. 31, they would be 1 year old; the following day, Jan. 1, the child turns 2.
