Some Japanese have had enough of weepy Korean soap operas: Hundreds are rallying in front of Fuji TV to protest the Korean dramas. But Japan has a far closer relationship with neighboring South Korea than most Japanese will ever let on. "These frenemies always find something to argue about, mostly history," says Jeff Kingston, a professor at Temple University, Japan Campus. "But the past isn't what it used to be and even when the two governments are in a pout, grassroots relations remain generally warm."
