Surprisingly there are some similarities between Korean dramas and American soap operas. Both productions are popular widely around the world. Korean dramas appeal women. American soap operas do it too. In addition, Korean dramas have a lot of high emotion and drama; similarly, American soap operas include towering passion and drama as well. Like American dramas, Korean productions have several genres in order to entertain different kinds of public. In brief, it is possible to find more sharing features between those productions.

Korean and American productions are extensively different. Korean dramas are miniseries that usually have 10 to 24 episodes, whereas American soap operas run for years and even generations. Korean productions air in the evening with two episodes per week, but American soap operas are televised every day and usually during the day. Moreover, soap operas show openly sex, cheating, drugs; while Korean dramas are more discreet with those topics. In short, in order to be unique productions create special characteristics to be recognized, so American and Korean productions possess different features.

To Whom It May Concern:

My wife and I are frequent users of the buses of Transmilenio; this is our only possible way of transportation to commute to our jobs and places of education. My wife has suffered and accident, that is why she must use crutches for around two months. We cannot afford a private transportation, so we need to keep using the Transmilenio buses. The service is acceptable in general terms; nevertheless, a common complaint on these days is the frequency of Alimentador buses in rush hour, these are being sent around 30 to 35 minutes. My wife’s situation does not let her stay too much time on feet and the stations do not have sits where she can wait. This is not only unhealthful to her, but also annoying.

The frequency of the Alimentador buses must be improved, especially in the rush hours. The affected users like my wife pay for an inclusive service, and their difficulties are not being taken into account. The good functionality of the transportation system may be improved just by little changes as the frequency of buses.

Cordially,

Alejandro Forigua Marín & Andrea Ramírez Buitrago
