Curry pizza is at Mr. Pizza, brought to you by elephants, belly-dancing Koreans, and happy brown people.
If I ever open a Korean restaurant back home, I'm totally going to get dancing geisha and a parade of samurai in my commercial. Exotic introduction notwithstanding, any chance this is different than the "curry" you can already get at a million other restaurants?
To be fair, I've eaten at Mr. Pizza twice---even though it's "Made for Women"---and aside from costing about twice what I'd like to pay, it's not bad.

I was wondering when you'd talk about this ad.
Now how about some talk about how to get rid of the anoying Baskin Robbins girl who has never heard of strawberry ice cream? She makes me want to smash my TV.
Whatever, I'm not offended or anything, but when I saw it I was just like:
1) as if you needed another reason to point and gawk at the foreigner, and
2) what's the big deal about "curry" when you can get it on your omelet at Kimbap Nara?
I don't know the Baskin Robbins commercial.
Is there a website for either of the new ethnic restaurants in Gwangju? I was going to put up links but I couldn't find them.
"Love for women"?
The hell~?
I do like back home Koreans do just that. They open Japanese restaurants and pretend to be Japanese. My GF refused to believe it until she came to Canada and saw it with her own eyes.
I like that they found a Trot singer and asked her to imitate Indian style vocalisation.
I got yer Baskin strawberry ice cream right here:

I really like this ad because I can actually understand most of the Korean (breakthrough!)
Ah, yeah, I've seen that. It makes me want to die.
So, does it taste as shit as all other Korean "pizza?"
that's funny--i just decided today that this is my least favorite korean commercial.
I've been told by co-workers that it isn't that the pizza is made for women, but that buying a pizza so your wife doesn't have to cook dinner is 'love for women'
LOL, are you serious? I read on another blog somewhere that it was because the pizza is somehow healthy. But yours actually makes sense in Korea. Thanks for sharing!
