That, my friends, was a life-insurance commercial. Okay, everyone knows Asians are way ahead of the game in technology. But marketing? That’s a Western thing right? The O.G. Capitalists?? The video above says otherwise.
Asians (especially Koreans) are famous (or infamous?) for their sappy, saccharine, sickeningly emotion-drenched television dramas and movies centered [...]
