Ji-Young & Marco — Korean & Filipino Love Story

Marco sent me a message with a badly translated Korean phrase. The effort made me laugh. Our first date was at a Korean-Filipino fusion restaurant he had found especially for us. He brought flowers. I knew by the end of that evening that this was someone special.

We have been together a year and a half. He makes doenjang jjigae — badly, but he tries. His family in the Philippines have welcomed me like one of their own.

“AsianThrill brought together two people who lived in the same city but needed a push.” — Ji-Young, Toronto, Canada
