EDIT 2007-10-30: As of recently, an advertisement seems to appear as part of every message that is first on its page. As I do not like this, and as this was such a post, I deleted the contents (I don't know how to delete the post itself.)

LOL so true!! saw that in most k-dramas!

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.

lol prolly because most female leads are VERY POOR and the male leads are FILTHY RICH! lol

7. There is a traffic accident or somebody has an incurable disease. Or both.

well,only in melodramas lol that's also the case for lots of jdoramas too! hehehe

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.

WINTER SONATA!!! lol

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.

that part is in MOST kdramas...well not only kdramas,cdramas,jdramas and every drama in the world,lol

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.

lol just like point number 6!

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.

you can find that in korean MVs too these days hehehe but its soo cute

14. Korean schools and universities suck. To study anything seriously, characters must go abroad.

If I may add a few work-related ones:
* Korean multinational companies are usually run by young cool-looking upstarts with popstar haircuts and the gaudiest fashion sense.
* The company will usually encounter a few difficulties, easily solved when the male lead increases the amount of time spent in his office daily to a whopping two hours.
* While the male lead will understand that love is more important than money or his position in the company, said company will nonetheless have increased its benefits 30% during the course of the drama.

[color=indigo]Another one:
As the male lead, if you are in a position where you can clear a terrible misunderstanding with one simple sentence, by all means don't. Wait until the tearful-eyed girl leaves, then shake your head sadly and punch something (tree, table, wall) or throw something (empty mug, stacks of paper, 15" television).
(Sakari, your post is definitely one of the funniest I've ever read on D-addicts!)

Related to this one, before this scene Character A and B will be walking in the same general area, but miss each other by seconds, Character A will look down to tie his/her shoe or something and miss character B.

| Jung Ryu Won grew up in Australia, so she doesn't have much of an accent. Lee Da Hae supposely grew up in Australia too, but I haven't heard her English so I don't know how good she is.

Haha  that's so true, they always miss each other (and they always show it in slow motion).
The make-up artist for the series tend to put too much lipstick on the male characters, sometimes the guys have on brighter lipsticks than the girls. I find that so funny

You guys might be interested in this thread, entitled "The Ten Commandments of Korean Drama". http://www.d-addicts.com/forum/viewtopic_6100.htm Very funny, and a lot of the opinions/observations of people here can also be found in that thread.
This is the stereotype which I've found to be most true in K-dramas (lifted from aforementioned thread):
"In popular dramas, there are no middle-level management employees, no salesman, no KFC manager, and Definitly no pizza delivery guy. Their fathers are always the CEO of a huge company, and the Male Character himself is AT THE VERY LEAST Managing Director / Market Director. He is UBER-talented in his field. I wonder how many % of the world's male population fit the aforementioned qualifications. In addition, MOST of these GUYS ARE ALSO Awesome FIGHTERS.
Rich. Good-looking. Intelligent. Prestigious Family Background. Skilled. HAS COMPLETED COLLEGE AND/OR MBA ABROAD (99% IN AMERICA).
Dresses like a Model. Kind. Warm. Pure-hearted. Perfect Gentleman. CLEAN. Plays at least ONE Musical Instrument. Good at SPORTS.
LASTLY, although the origins are unknown, they ARE HELLA GOOD FIGHTERS.
On the other hand, the Girl is always poor, but spunky and inevitably GORGEOUS with a HIGH SENSE OF indepenence and PRIDE. Even though The Girl gets the Man (in the long history of k-dramas, this is EQUIVALENT TO THE BIG BANG THEORY), she always gets screwed by the Other-Pretty-But-Evil Girl in the middle."
