LoL, yes! So many stories just can't be complete w/o the childhood connection. It's alllll fated... destiny, and…
Maybe it's just me. I think it takes away from the love story - I think the hard work and hardships are enough to cement the relationship. Maybe it's a cultural thing. Maybe for Koreans, it's the reverse - fate seals the deal that you were meant to be.
well healer was more like my parents are friends so we grew up togetherbut somehow they always forget each other
Yes, and that felt like the most creative approach to me, although not any more believable. Other dramas: We meet and fall in love as adults but have surprisingly met as children Healer: We've met as children but what are the chances my mission is my old playmate?
I love watching dramas. I just feel like all the pain the characters had to go through to be together is cheapened when you tack on a "we were always meant to be" destiny plot point.
OMG, I remembered one more that bothers me immensely: why are the couples always fated from childhood? It seems like there is only one playground in Korea and all the soon-to-be couples have met there at some point, before they are estranged, moved, orphaned, or kidnapped. Even the best romances can't seem to resist tying in some unlikely we-met-as-children plot point just to prove they were destined for each other. I'm new to dramas and have watched less than a dozen, but even in my tiny sample size, I've already seen my share of this:

Gosh, this is so nicely-written, especially the parting shots for each item. You had me giggling to myself. I can't with the American Business Grooming. So many fancy rich guys with degrees from Harvard, Stanford, Johns freaking Hopkins. I guess that adds an air of mystique and untouchability. Meanwhile, none of them can speak like they've lived and studied there for years. If we MUST have this person study in another country, can't we go with one where they can pass the verbal?
