shinshi 143 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 - the male lead is rich, arrogant, fashionable and treats the girl like sh*t in the beginning - the female lead is either super-fashionable from the beginning or gets a make-over after a few episodes - everyone drives big cars, preferably in white or black - everyone has the same cellphone and the latest model, no matter how poor they are - there is a girl who behaves like a b*tch and everyone falls for her tricks - the nice guy never gets the girl - the evil mother of the male lead hates the female lead and loves the b*tch - every important scene is accompanied by rather cheesy music - people always believe others and never talk face to face of there's a problem - everyone eats and drinks a lot but is skinny though - only one person is hugging and the other just opens their eyes wide like they've never been hugged before - everone speaks in metaphors and similies like they just ate a Shakespeare-play - if their mouthes get closer in a way which seems like slow motion and you just want to grab their heads and smash them together someone comes in and interrupts ... continue the list. I love watching K-Drama by the way, but there are some clichées and similarities no one can deny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voldemin 541 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 -Brothers/cousin/uncles-nephews will always love the same girl.. -You’re allowed to make u-turns wherever you want in Korea. And there is never traffic on the side you want to u turn to.. -There is a super quick payment device that allows you to pay a bill quickly enough for a guy to run immediately out of a restaurant after his angry girlfriend storms out.. -Everyone has cancer.. -If you’re rich, you’re a jerk.. -If you’re poor, you’re an angel.. -You go to America you come back miraculously successful. You go to England you come back amazingly fashionable. You stay in Korea the only thing that changes is your hairstyle.. -If you play a poor kid, you always have dirt on your face and your hair is always messy.. -There are only 2 ways to kiss. You either press your lips against theirs with your mouth completely shut, and just press away for a very long and uncomfortable time. OR you devour the other person and suck out their soul. In both instances, the world spins.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylight 1,132 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 - even if you're poor and can't eat, you never wear the same clothes twice - and oh, everyone has cancer or heart problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoplz 2,333 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 How about "you know you are watching an Asian drama if.." Since most of wat u said applies even more to most/if not all taiwanese dramas. This is why I can't stand TW dramas anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taelent 9,485 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 - The male lead has a shower or some other activity that requires him to expose his yummy abs - The female lead will always be attacked and trampled on by the antagonist but will never do anything about it - A 'kiss' scene consists of the male lead touching lips with the female lead for like 0.5 seconds but in slow motion so it looks longer - Within the couple, one of them is poor and the other is rich. - They try to speak engrish and it just embarasses you although you don't want to criticise because they tried - Either one or both of the leads has dead parents - Awkward crying scene that lasts for half an episode that you just have to endure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wohuifei 263 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 - The two leads are right next to each other but they don't realize it because obviously, peripheral vision does not exist in dramaland. - Car crash = Amnesia/Coma - One of the leads has a dark past.

laudeul 288 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 In action dramas they all fight and dodge bullets like its nothing. When they get beaten really badly they walk around in the next scene like nothing happened or heal inhumanly quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
