RESPONSE>> What TV programs do you often watch? 

Why do you like watching those programs?

I don’t watch TV too much, but there are several shows I watch pretty often.

When I come home early, I catch the  8 o’clock or 9 o’clock news after having dinner.
ex> Did you catch the latest episode?

I sometimes watch TV drams when there is something interesting on.
ex> I turned off the TV because there wasn’t anything interesting on.

Late at night, I watch Korean talk shows or comedy programs.

On some nights, I tune into in-depth news programs that deal with various social issues.

Star audition programs are all the rage in Korea these days.

On weekends, I often watch re-runs of these audition programs on various TV stations.

From time to time, I enjoy watching documentaries on the Discovery Channel or EBS.
