Laugh, Cry, Repeat: The Hilarious Rules of Korean Dramas You Never Knew Existed

Yesss to the trope list. Too funny from mortal-to-immortal cliff jumps to fating from infancy, this was a good watch. The ML having a traumatic backstory never actually justifies the level of evil they become. This always baffles me. Also, you would think that after so many years, they would have perfected the iconic trope of tripping and falling into the ML 's arms; but nope., They haven't. It's still cheesy. Nonetheless, a KDrama romance would not be complete without it. Equally as important, is the ML’s skeleton being made of adamantium. Any other skeletal structure is deemed unacceptable. How else can they become our hero? Like Duh. In addition, it is common knowledge that if you cut your finger or scrape your knee a hospital visit is necessary to prevent death. If you are shot, stabbed, or have a temp of 105 you should go home and rest. A warm damp bedside towel bath will get you back on your feet. If you are open to suggestions, here is another list you can use. Non-Patreon subscribers will never know and we will never tell. In fact, this list never existed and will self-destruct in …...... You can title this one "KDrama Tropes Fans Need Blacklisted." These tropes more than often evoke ancestral level anger in all of us…  Death to the Frozen Lip Kiss -Self-Explanatory  Adult/Child-Submissive adults over 30 with no voice who conform to abusive, overly aggressive parents, beating on them, cursing them, and deciding who they can love.  Full shower scenes with no soap (like yuck…lather is our friend)  No Character Dev-Aggressive and angry FL and ML with zero explanation ever given. You just walking around with resting bitch face mad for no reason. Like why and for what?  No Inside Voice- Speaking publically at the loudest decibel while discussing secrets, plans, and private matters.  Miscommunication...followed by "Let me explain"…followed by 3 min of silence with no explanation given...SCREAMING WTF  No Peripheral Vision. Yes, I’m right here, behind this invisible wall only I can see; yet, you can’t see me listening to all the secrets.  Unlikable characters who have 11 episodes of being the worst type of evil then redemption on the final 12th episode. Ummm we didn't forget and can't forgive.  FL, who presents as intelligent and skilled at fighting suddenly is stupid and can't even windmill fight when trapped. Stop It...  Oversized clothes on the ML and Betty-Boop size work attire for the FL (one Tteokbokki dish away from ass exposure.) HONORABLE MENTIONS  Yanking and dragging the FL by her arm  Phone vibrating volume so loud you would think it was connected to an amplifier and silencing the call or turning off the volume is not an option.  MMA level of violence when bullying  Owning a car but taking a Taxi to meet the villain alone in a secluded area with no obvious way to get home ADDED BONUS  Historical KDramas: FL baby voice; no baths for weeks; one caugcaugh=yep he is dying; poisoned tea; locked in a room with paper doors and push-out windows; plotting and scheming with the door open in front of the help; death by a head bump on wooden pillar or paper cut size slice on neck with no blood; obvious court villains allowed to just keep killing and victimizing people; etc…
