Persimmons are super sweet on the inside. But the skin isn’t that easy to peel off.
In possibly the newest and most popular K-drama show of all time, Queen of Tears, one discussion on persimmons is food for thought.
Specifically, the fellow who just plucks some of the fruits, and then explains to another man, how this batch of fruit isn’t sweet at all.
But what is to be done?
Simple, just soak the fruit in bitter soju, which is an alcoholic beverage made from rice, and wrap it tightly in a cloth. Leave it overnight, and the fruit turns sweet!
Much like life itself, as the man notes. Life gives many bitter experiences, but if we soak ourselves in them and endure them, it’ll lead to success and sweetness eventually.
