I love this article! I think I am such a fan of the cheesy romance tropes in dramas because my own love life is so non-existent and will probably never see that perfect kdrama romance! It can be worrisome to think that dramas skew you expectations and give you standards that can never be achieved in real life, but I also don't mind the always happy, always perfect endings because it can be that escape from reality. Like you said, I think it's important to remember to have reasonable expectations for yourself and remind yourself that dramas aren't real life. But I don't think there's anything wrong with falling in love with these over-the-top, unrealistic, super romantic stories. It brings me happiness and relief from my daily life and that's what I really enjoy about them!
I wasn't sure what to expect with this drama. I felt a little iffy after the first episode, but the second episode definitely hooked me and I caught up in one day! It's a little bit hard to take seriously, particularly the psychological aspects. I'm in my 3rd year of a psychology degree so I automatically cringe when all these unethical, unrealistic things are happening. But it's a drama so I know I shouldn't expect much. And I can overlook it as I'm really enjoying the characters! I'm excited to see what's coming next!
Forgotten childhood connection is another one. Also let's not forget the inevitable scene where the girl gets wasted and the guy has to carry her home but he still thinks she's super cute. Oh man, they're so cliche but I love them
Gong Tae Kwang in School 2015 broke me!! And currently, Baek In Ho in Cheese in the Trap!
Also, this was a female second lead but Oh Soo Hyun in Doctor Stanger whenever she cried over Hoon I was crying and I wasn't a huge fan of the female lead so I rooted for Soo Hyun even more :///
