Black Cap applies to segeuks too. For some reason assassins and similar need to advertise their identity with…
This is so true! lmao @ "...with black clothes and black hat fully covering their faces even at noon." Nothing suspicious about that man running around with half his face covered like we can't recognize him from his eyes in broad daylight. Nothing at all.
Wow, I really enjoyed your article and totally agree with everything you wrote. But what gave me the most pleasure…
You're welcome, my sunflower. Yea, albeit a generalization, Koreans are not docile in nature. Maybe it if was elder they knew well, and it would depend on the situation, but they are the type that will hit you back in an instant or shout at you. I love it, lol.
Good one! Me and Marooma were once talking about the absurd fashion precedes wealth trend in Kdrama. Like their…
So, here's a fun fact, in cities like Seoul and Busan, there are shopping plazas underground around train stations. There are a lot of clothes that look like they would cost more than they actually do. I was so jealous that I would in no lifetime ever be able to fit any of them cause they had highly fashionable garments for the equivalent of like $10 - $15 - $30 at these stands/stores and there are so many of them.
So, on that one, unless it's obvious that it's designer, it's hard to tell for me. It doesn't cost much to look good in Korea, lol.
Good job Cinnamaroll. One of my bug bears is how the main leads have met as kids and every main character has…
Thanks, Rosie! :-D
You know, lol, funny thing is, as big as Seoul is, a lot of people are actually connected. TMI, but I was Tinder Plus-ing and swiping in Seoul. I have a couple of people on my FB list that are from there. I was surprised at how many guys were either a 2nd or 1rst connection with those two people.
I actually met one of the FB friends for the first time while we happened to be in Seoul at the same time, even though we both live in America. His parents lived only 10 mins from my AirBNB. It was nuts and only came about cause I saw him check-in to SMTown and post pics from there the same day, I did. LOL. So, my friend, I'd have say that may be based on reality.
Amnesia Mom/Dad issues Stalker Ex who won't give up Place some food on their rice bowl coz you're so…
LoL, the food thing is actually more cultural than a trope. It's like with drinking. Before going to Japan and Korea, I never would have thought anything of someone making sure to pour my drink for me. Now, it makes me feel warm and respected when my friends there do it. It's definitely a sign of endearment.
Oh, I definitely didn't forget, lol. This was just the list I wanted to do that I felt was unique to Korean dramas. Amnesia is a common trope in soap operas all over the world. That makes it funnier that it's used so often.
I think its stupid to bitch about tropes. Everything is a trope of some kind. Even if you can find something that…
"Please note that what you are about to read is very much tongue-in-cheek. In no way should it be taken seriously. ", was the disclaimer I gave right after the title. If you're still taking it seriously, well, nothing can be done to help that. Have a good evening.

LoL @ place some food on their rice bowl. That's actually more cultural than a trope. It really is a sign of endearment. Before going to Japan or Korea, someone making sure to pour my drink for me wouldn't have meant anything. Now, it makes me feel warm and respected.
Completely forgot to comment! XD One (web) drama you'll find all these things in is Dramaworld. Honestly…
Despite my utter dislike Park Shin Hye, I can say I liked Pinocchio. But you'll be referring back to #6 on the first episode. I hope it gives you hearty laugh, lol.
Even though these tropes are annoying, I still keep watching them. It's like watching the daytime soaps here…
This is true! LoL
They take their couple rings off and everything. I feel it's because they oversaturate one another with attention right away. It's like you meet up a few times and are a couple just like that. Because you're a couple, you both expect immediate outpouring of affection and affirmations, which aren't really built on actual strong feelings. And you here, it takes us a while before we considered ourselves "official." It's pretty interesting.

And you know it has to be uncomfortable.
