Body and Soul
You may or may not already know this, but the concept of 'mind' is slightly different in Korea. Ask a Korean where their mind is and they may point to their chest. 'maum'/마음 is one translation of 'mind'. Koreans can seem very emotional, quick tempered and sentimental, though of course everything depends on the individual's temperament. My wife is all of the above, wears her heart on her sleeve, and, I guess, keeps her mind where her heart was.
