There is Gunghab(marital compatibility) in Korea. From old times, the bride and groom exchanged each saju (birthday and time of the birth) before marriage. The couple broke up if their marital compatibility was poor. We know how much the ancestor put emphasis on the harmony of couple.
In a broad sense, everything has its own duo or pair to make synergy effect. While some pairs which we have ever thought good matches actually don’t go well together. These are the best and worst combinations in all around us.
Couple Combination
Couples want to know their matches. Therefore they judged each character by blood types. They have no scientific basis in fact. Many people exchanged opinion and make it generalized. For that reason, it is not correct surely. However many people have interest in blood type. There are books about blood type and movie like My Boyfriend is Type-B. These are blood type combination that many people sympathize. Do not believe in it 100 percent, because it may be just a rash generalization!

It is good encounter that raised each advantage. Man is gentle and has passion in
his work, woman look it ideal. Woman is very meticulous. She follows the pace of
man and give counsel. They are ideal couple.
Type B Woman + Type AB Man = 80% match
The Type B woman feels genial toward the Type AB man’s tender character. The man retreats into his shell; therefore, the woman feels stuffy toward his lukewarm attitude. In their love, the man is cool and the woman is hot
Type O woman + Type A Man = 90% match
The Type O woman seems like an active Amazon, but in reality she is lonely and fainthearted. Therefore, she searches for a strong man. The Type A man is always rational, honest and attractive to the woman. If the woman expresses the thought “I need you”, the man will approach her.
Type AB woman + Type AB Man = 80% match
They are sociable, so they are bound to understand each other. If they are friends, they will fall deeply in love through intelligent conversation. They can be a vibrant couple because they have the ability to respond each joke with wit. However, because the man prefers a woman who satisfies his appearance and mood, they can have conflict.
In addition to the constellations in the Western zodiac, the Orient has Chinese zodiac signs. These twelve signs each have an animal: rat, cow, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, chicken, monkey, dog, and pig. These signs take turn each year; your birth year animal is your Chinese zodiac sign. This year is the Year of the Rabbit. Rabbits have good harmony with dogs and pigs. On the contrary, chickens and snakes are like oil and water. Rabbits annot stand chickens’ vanity. Tigers and rabbits make the worst duo. Together, it means doom. Rabbits know that tigers cheat and do not want their interference.
Food Combination
Samgyeobsal (pork belly) and soju (Korean distilled spirits)
These are very lovely foods. Koreans love this combination very much. When we drink soju, we want to eat samgyeobsal, and vice versa. Because the coolness of soju washes away the greasy taste, we call them the perfect combination. Without a doubt, they are well-suited in taste and preference respects. But this is bad in the nutritional respect, because of cholesterol! Samgyeobsal contains high fat and calories. In addition, when we drink soju, the calories become higher. As a result, the decomposition of cholesterol gradually declines. This happens to increase cholesterol level. But I wouldn’t tend to tell you that we shouldn’t eat samgyeobsal and soju; I’ll just tell you that we should control the appropriate amount for our health.
Wine and Cheese
Cheese is a high-calorie food, is rich in protein, fat and calcium, and can be digested well. Scientifically, Cheese helps absorb magnesium in grapes or wine, and the protein in cheese goes well with wine due to helping the liver decompose alcohol. In particular, when we eat cheese with wine, cheese takes the astringency out. This is the way to eat more delicious cheese and wine:
1. The whiter the cheese is, the better it matches to wine. The cheese should be fresh, clear
and have a strong fruit aroma.
2. White wine goes better with cheese than red wine does.
3. The wine with a sour taste fits for the very salty cheeses.
4. If cheese is very soft and fatty, drink a soft and fatty wine.
5. Eat cheese and wine from the same region together.
Beer and chicken/peanuts
Hamburgers and Coke
Hamburgers and coke are a familiar combination for us due to fast food restaurants selling themin a basic set. But both hamburgers and coke are high-fat and high-carbohydrate foods. Theyhave a lot of trans-fat, so when we eat this food, our health gets worse. Also, hamburgers are nutritionally deficient. If we eat hamburgers and drink Coke at the same time, the little of the calcium and minerals in hamburgers gets out of our body. That is to go from bad to worse. If you want to up the nutrition when you eat amburgers, I recommend drinking fruit juice instead of Coke. If you drink Coke, limit it to just one cup so that you can stay healthy.
_Very useful tips!
When we are sick, we take medicine. Medicine is important to cure an illness. However, if you take medicines
carelessly, it is rather harmful to your body. Therefore, we should know about this information.
When you eat food which contains caffeine, such as chocolate, coffee, or cola, with aspirin or painkillers, you have side effects due to too much caffeine. As a result, you feel sleepless and dizzy.
When you take antibiotics, coffee or tangerines disturb the medicine’s absorption, so we should not have them together. While taking anti-depressants, you should not drink alcohol and should refrain from using Chinese medicine. When you take anti-depressants with Chinese medicine, side effects arise.

We are a perfect combination!
Johnny Depp & Tim Burton
They have made great productions and celebrated fi lms with their fantastic coupling through the last twenty years.
In the 1984 movie “A Nightmare on Elm Street”, Johnny Depp debuted as a high school student. At fi rst, people didn’t set eyes on him. After a few years, he received great attention for the movie “Edward Scissorhands” (directed by Tim Burton, 1990) as the shy Edward Scissorhands, who was gloomy and had hands that were scissors from a fairy-tale. Consequently, filmmaker Tim Burton and versatile Depp worked together after that movie’s success. As Depp was cast in several of Burton’s movies, he became a star and also developed his persona. In addition to Edward, they worked together for “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, “Sleepy Hollow” and other fi lms. Depp and Burton are very friendly with each other. Depp once said in an interview that if Burton directed him to have sex with a pig, he would be willing do so.
When it comes to the partnership of Burton and Depp, they are a freaky match. In fact, the relationship is a signifi cant element in the fi lm industry, which requires human emotion, creativity and time. Economic profi ts
also help them to work in harmony. “I just prepared to do whatever he wanted, whatever character it was,”
said Depp in an interview with thatstoday.com on his recent fi lm, “Alice in Wonderland” (2010).
Maybe this is what they have in common. From Tim Burton’s fi lms, box offi ce hits usually surfaced when Depp wore heavy makeup, which nobody easily does but Depp. He has what an actor must have: the ability to change his look and character perfectly, like a chameleon. It would be certain in his fi lms. His ability may attract Burton, who is a visionary and a dreamlike, grotesque fi lmmaker. There is success: grab it!
Cha boom!
Cha Bum-geun, as a member of the Korean football team, participated in 127 games and scored 55 goals total. He was the first man who entered 100 A match games in Korea. He has the scoring record for the most goals. He was playing in Bundesliga, the German football league, for 12 years, participating in 308 games (the third ranking for a foreigner) and scoring 98 goals (the fifth for a foreigner). His nickname was ‘Cha Boom’. Once, there was a miracle in which he scored three goals successively against Malaysia in Park’s Cup, which was one of the
most famous Asian soccer competitions at that time in 1976.
Cha Doo-ri, the son of Cha Bum-geun, was the young, vibrant Korean soccer player with a shaved head in the 2002 World Cup. His hair is still shaved. Following in his father’s footsteps, he went to Freiburg in Bundesliga and transfer to Celtic in Scotland. He has outstanding physical ability (He shoved the famous football player Drogba!), remarkable speed and quick breakthrough power.
The ‘Cha’ relation between father and son is also well-known for their football commentary in the 2006 World Cup in Germany. Doo-ri was born in Germany, so he could speak German as well and had a lot of gossip about what he experienced in Bundesliga. Many people fall for the Cha commentary with humor and laughter. Both of them lived in the same league and go together like bread and butter.
Fan & Celebrity
Fans and celebrities are inseparable. They exist for each other. Celebrities do their best to make fans, and fans love their images. If fans do not exist, entertainers cannot exist. Their relationships are very sticky. Fan gives gifts to their celebrities and makes them grow. The fans endeavor to help entertainers. Celebrities had fan meetings or signed autographs in days of old. Nowadays, fans make donations for the needy under the name of the celebrity. They even promote celebrities actively.
They are different, but they fuse well. This is the perfect duo. However, the relationship between them is not always good. There are also those who strongly dislike celebrities (“anti-fans”, as people often say in Konglish). There are many reasons, but jealousy and envy are the main ones. However, non-supporters are not always bad; in a way, they are fans, too. Some celebrities use noise marketing and cause those who criticize them to become famous. Their relationship is ambivalent; however, they are vital elements to one another, aren’t they?
Combination covers a wide amount of life. It is probably close to us, so we don’t acknowledge it. I want you to know and understand it more and more. But there is one concern: when you predict marital harmony, if it is bad, you don’t need to worry. Even if you are disappointed at the bad result, you can change the result!
