Not exactly an original topic but after watching a couple of korean dramas, I felt I have to make a list of my own.
So what makes a korean drama?
- the two main characters hates each others guts in the first part of the series
- somehow, they end up drafting a contract that would require them to be a pretend couple, or have an arranged / force marriage
- rich guy – poor girl combination
- there’s always a love square
- there will be a karaoke mention / scene
- there will be a soju drinking session
- a piggyback ride is a must
- a sudden u-turn while driving
- the supporting actor is the caring, thoughtful, supportive guy that would make you root for him instead of the main lead.
- while the main actor is arrogant, rude, selfish, self-absorbed, etc. Until he slowly changes ‘coz of the main actress’ influence.
- one of the main lead gets fever / cold /cough
- out of town scene (either vacation or visiting friends or business trip, etc.)
- hand-grabbing scene –> girl walks away, guy grabs girls hand, two stare at each other, if they’re lucky, they kiss =)
- the uncomfortable elevator scene..
- running around airports / bus terminals but they end up missing each other
Soooo long. But I’ll probably add on to it later on. I’m sure I missed a few more things =)
