Aanyeong Newbies!
If you confused about how to start a Korean Drama journey, what is this K drama, and what is this rule all about?
Well, if your answer is yes, then you are in the perfect place.
Most common things which almost every K Drama have in it:
After watching K-Dramas for a pretty long period. I could easily and confidently conclude that though every drama got its unique storyline, character setup, cinematography, and genre. Sometimes they will make you laugh like crazy or make you cry until your eyes look like swollen Panda’s. Some will drive you mad and you’ll want right away to jump through the screen and choke characters; While others will want you to be loved. But there are few rules which won’t change and you will find them in almost every drama. So, according to Korean Drama-Rule Book, the rules are discussed below.
Gosh! I still don’t get why our heroine has to be this poor and miserable :
Half of her life passes working part-time.
In a single day, she works in different places most favorite places are cafes, libraries, restaurants and they are indeed brilliant students too. (I wonder are they “wonder women” or what )
No matter how poor she is or may not have any money to pay rent. But this has never stopped a lead female from dressing her best…and never repeating an outfit. (This is what we call Swag )
Note down this is an important one.
A rich guy is bound to fall for a poor girl whom they think is ugly, stupid, rude, and straightforward enough to insult him anywhere, everywhere, and in his bathroom too.
Of course, there is no match between the two, but they will make sure to fall for each other.
I think this is what we called Law Of Attraction (Like Seriously!)
K drama is incomplete without boosting the male leads charm like anything (even if you can’t find that person to be that good looking but writers boosting his beauty will surely make you laugh)
Though no matter how pretty that girl is, writers will make sure to show the girl ugly. No matter how gorgeous you think they are, they will still continuously be bullied and told they are ugly and fat and completely opposite to male lead.
After all, this is K Drama world everything is possible here so, a bleeding nose or mouth signifies that you got a good lesson according to K World.
The second leads are always caring, loving, cuddly and adorable teddy bear material. Full of selflessness- Whom the female lead will never select, because who wants a good guy when you have an arrogant jerk, who is the leading man in the drama. Bad boys are more attractive, Isn’t it?
Yes, you read it right. Every time you will watch a new hero in a new drama by the end of that drama. Hurry! Congratulations you got a new Oppa’s name added to your Oppa list.
1st episodes are always confusing, mainly then are introduction part which starts which the male leads past flashbacks or many things that happen one by one without any proper explanation. This will make you busted out of curiosity (Audience-what the hell is this going on, why ain’t I am getting anything)
Have some patience, cause the actual thing will start from the 2nd or 3rd episode. Till then take a Chill pill.
The most important rule in the k drama world. No one can ever judge what turn the drama will take in the end. A happy couple may end up separating from each other, impossible-looking plots can change in the blink of your eyes. So, please don’t raise your expectation, no one knows what’s up in the hade of the writers.
