Are you interested in Korean TV series? If so, you must know Dae Jang Geum (《大长今》). Because of this series, my personal status and living standard have been greatly _____. My girlfriend used to cook every evening. Well, now she does nothing but ____ herself in front of the TV when she’s not ____, and commands me, “You — go to make some instant noodles. Come and watch the play and just imagine we are enjoying Korean _____.”
She also swears to ____ all Korean dishes in Dae Jang Geum. So she orders me to ____ the TV and record any details of Jang Geum’s cooking. But when she presented her version of Korean food, it is like the dog-meal. “You can ____ get things done if you don’t have the right tools”, my girlfriend blamed her clumsy (笨拙的) kitchen performances on ____. So I decided to ____ her a new kitchen knife. In a store, she became unusually ____ when making her selection. She finally picked one that was ____ Jang Geum’s. To prove that her slow knife skill was due to the blunt (钝的) knives, she ____ her cutting. As a result, she hurt her fingers three times. Fortunately the knife is not ____ the salesman boasts.
My girlfriend is a fan of Jang Geum’s Korean ____. Not only did she talk about the dress every day, she also threatened to change my tie into a ____ like the one on Jang Geum’s dress.  Finally, I lost my patience and took her to a maternity shop (孕妇专卖店) where I recommend (推荐) one suit to her, “Do you think it looks like a Korean dress?” ____, my future parents-in-law just happened to be shopping at the time. They were ____ when they saw what we were doing.
The Dae Jang Geum series ____ realizing the ambition of the youth. However, it fails to realize my girlfriend’s. ____ being engaged in her work or study, she simply sits on the sofa every night, staring at the TV, a bag of chips in her hand. This situation has changed little ___ the series is now over.
