then the other person runs like a frickin' psycho, thinkking that the person is gonna die or something..
This is another byproduct of the aforementioned cellphone glitch. Why does everyone always have to go places (preferably on foot for distances less than 10 miles) instead of just calling, especially in situations where time is of the essence?! Oh well, I guess that's because you couldn't have the guy looking cool as hell while he runs like the wind, only to arrive to his destination without a hair out of place nor a trickle of sweat on his temple.
Hmm, that's another one: male leads don't sweat. They will, however, have oddly placed patches of wetness (rumored to represent perspiration) on their t-shirts when exercising.

yeah really, seems like the Kdramas is following a system of their culture. Iīve noticed two pretty annoying things in alla the Kdramas Iīve seen, but thatīs not mean that I donīt like Kdramas cos I really do. 1) the leading male has always a first love, thatīs mean, the leading female is never the first love, but the second. 2) the girls is falling for the guys first and in some dramas she is first who telling the boy that she has fallen in love with him.
Itīs kinda annoying cos Iīm used to watch Hkdramas, in those dramas theyīre the guys who fall in love first and in that way being kinda manly I think. Thatīs why I always fall for the malecharacter who are an outsider, thatīs mean that he is secretly in love with the leading female(of course the leading femala doesnīt love him! cos sheīs in love with the leading male guy.) and does whatever it takes to help her, even if it costs his own heart. Thatī s just so manly and romantic. So I really want the koreandrama directors to change these things. But this things is their culture so they wonīt change them. The male in korea are very very dominant, so theyīre used be like that even in love!

I noticed that most of the time, it's always the male that's rich and famous, while the female is poor and unkown....
Ex:
My Name is Kim Sam Soon - Hyun Bin; family owns a hotel and he owns a restaurant. Kim Sun Ah; unwealthy with family debts
Love Story in Harvard - Kim Rae Won; comes from a wealthy family to study abroad. Kim Tae Hee; family is poor and father lives in a trailer
Full House - Rain; Actor and lots of money. Song Hye Gyo; original owner of the house but then got sold out by her friends and became Rain's maid in order to retrieve the house back
Wonderful Life - Kim Jae Won; comes from a wealthy family. Eugene; poor family and the mother runs a small restaurant
My Girl - Lee Dong Wook; wealthy family and owns a huge company. Lee Dae Hae - a tour guide making money with the help of her chinese/korean translation. Comes from a poor background.

what I have noticed in is that the "lead" character always has that first love usually when they were like in grade school for which they were together for only like a few days and for some stupid reason that person comes before anyone else even years later...I dont know about anyone else but I for the life of me can't remember the first guy that I liked...
and whats up with getting medicine for EVERYTHING...I swear getting the flu or a cut in korea is like death!

LOL this post cracks me up
#16 - good girls don't drive.. bad girls do....
haha this is so true.. i never realized this.. the main girls in a kdrama usually don't drive on their own..
btw there are some kdramas that don't follow these stereotype..
the most recent one that I saw is Oh! Pil-Seung Bong Soon-Young.. try that if you want to see something different..
lead guy and girl are both poor, are not highly educated, lead guy likes the girl first but she likes the other guy hehe.. no amnesia.. no accident.. no terminal illness..
the story is very lighthearted and fast-paced. Lots of funny moments.

and those people get hurt sooo quick one of the cuts that I thought were stupid,was the tiny wound Bi got in Full House when her friend punched him in the face so silly lol when you get punched u get a bruise, never get wounds
hehe and whats up with Korean guys being beaten by their women all the time?! is it a cultural thing? I mean do their men really allow women to hit them????

- In that case, I think her friend's nail got into his face.
- But I have to admit that every Kdrama, there's at least one scene in hospital.
- Another thing, if there's something with study aboard, or grew up in another country, whatsoever, mostly it's America.
- The lead females don't drive because they're poor, I think it's kinda related.
- It's true that's when 2 persons talk about something important, there would be a third person ready to hear it.
-English : --> Love story in Harvard. The males' english are damn suck. If they can get into Harvard with that level of english, why am I still here ? By the way, Kim Tae Hee speaks English kinda good though.

Add this to the list,
Korean mothers are extremely abusive. They don't just hit their kids, they BEAT UP their kids with brooms, purses, and anything that they can get their hand on at the time. It doesn't matter that their children are now 30+ years old, they still get a beating for being annoying.
Example: My Name is Kim Sam Soon, Super Rookie, My Sassy Girl, etc....

Here is a small collection of things that seem to recur in KDramas. Don't take it too seriously - I adore KDramas...
1. Somebody gets into the water (pool, ocean, ...) with their clothes on.
2. The male and female leads throw snow at each other.
3. One character, A, is flying out and another one, B, rushes to the airport to catch him or her. In spite of both having cellphones, B does not call A to find out A's whereabouts, but, instead, runs around frantically (looking for A). This will normally give A enough time to board before being caught by B.
4. One episode at least takes place on Jeju (the island).
5. Surprises backfire. Always.
6. Small or medium-sized cars are rarely used. Rich people drive big and expensive cars, while everybody else takes the bus or the subway, or gets rides in the rich people's cars.
7. There is a traffic accident or somebody has an incurable disease. Or both.
8. If you hit your head in a traffic accident, you might lose your memory. But don't worry, you will get it back when you hit your head a second time.
9. If two people are talking confidentially, they will leave the door of the room open so that a third person can overhear the conversation.
10. Rich people live in mansions surrounded by brick walls, while everybody else lives in shacks atop high buildings in downtown Seoul, or hillside slums on the outskirts of the city.
11. There is a scene in an elevator, and one in a toilet. In the elevator scene, one character will say something embarrassing. In the toilet scene, there is a high probability of there turning out to be no paper.
12. The male lead has to carry someone - most often, the female lead - somewhere piggy-back.
13. If there is an episode where a character gets a job, there is a later episode where he or she resigns from it, usually by writing a letter of resignation.
14. Korean schools and universities suck. To study anything seriously, characters must go abroad.
15. If there is an engagement party, the characters getting engaged will not marry. However, normally one of them will not show up.
16. Good girls don't drive (cars). Bad girls do. Well, a good girl just *might* drive, but she will do it so badly it's a wonder she was ever given a license.
17. If a relative of yours (or your spouse's) is involved in a fight, it's you who must pay compensation to the other people involved. That's because the relative has no money. Well, neither have you, but you can always get a lousy, demeaning part-time job, can't you?
oh geez. so true. i was laughing like crazy while i was reading ur post.
