Recently I watched this Korean Drama so-titled My Lovely Sam Soon (Nae Ireumeun Kim Sam-Soon). Very good story. Casting by Kim Sun-ah, Hyun Bin, Jung Ryu-won, Li koo Han, Daniel Henry, Li Yoo Mi, etc.
And one part of the drama really catched my heart, it talked about Human Chemicals. This is the conversation between the actor and actress, well, its from the sub-titles actually. Lets see...
# In the beginning stage when a man and woman start wanting each other, sex hormones such as Testosterone and Estrogen are released.
The desire to want each other grows more intense and Dopamine and Serotonin are produced.
Serotonin is the most important chemical in LOVE. It makes a person temporarily insane.
The next stage is when the man and woman want to become more intimate which eventually leads to sex or marriage, here, the brain discharges Oxytocin and Vasopressin.
Oxytocin is released not only when a man and woman engage in sexual behavior but also when a mother breastfeeds her baby. One research found that a woman's LOVE for her child was the same as LOVE.
What's more interesting is Serotonin makes a person blind to the other person's fault. That is why sometimes a man falls in love with an ugly woman (in the eye of other people). This is because the Serotonin will make it impossible for him to break up with her.
The level of hormones mentioned above remain high for about 2 years. 3 to 4 years at the longest.
Then the conversation continued...
MAN said: After 2 years, then all of our hormones have run low? Well, I have been feeling a bit different these days. I think I've run out of SEROTONIN!
(But actually a few second after that they end up in sofa - making love)
