50 Things YOU can learn from Korean dramas
Credits to AsiaFanatics Forum
1) Hot, rich, younger men love fat, older vulgar women.
2) If you have a best guy friend, he is in love with you. And secretly
you are too.
3) You and your boyfriend will always playfully chase each other on an
ice rink, at the beach, or in the leaves. And you'll laugh for no
reason and your boyfriend will hit you "playfully" but the force of
his push will have you flying across the room. But it's okay. Cuz
you're still laughing like a crazy person.
4) Brothers/cousin/uncles-newphew
s will always love the same girl.
5) You're allowed to make uturns wherever you want in Korea. And there
is never traffic on the side you want to u turn to.
6) There is a super quick payment device that allows you to pay a bill
quickly enough for a guy to run immediately out of a restaurant after
his angry girlfriend storms out.
7) Everyone has cancer.
8) If you're sick, all you need is an IV to make you feel lots better.
9) There is vomit and urine all over Seoul at nights.
10) Fighting at a pojangmacha with a random stranger is merely part of
a normal night's event.
11) Soju must cost 10 cents. Everyone drinks it everyday all the time,
especially the poor people.
12) If you're rich, you're a jerk.
13) If you're poor, you're an angel.
14) Women sleep and wake up with a full set of makeup on.
15) You're not studying hard enough unless you get a nosebleed.
16) If you have a nosebleed, you most definately have cancer. And you
have no money to pay for the surgery that will save your life. And
your liver is missing. We're not sure where it went, but it's making
your cancer progress faster.
17) If you work in a sool jeep, you have massively curly hair and wear
flashy colors from the early 90's.
18) You always order orange juice or coffee at a cafe. And you never
drink it. EVER.< they drink almost as much as soju
19) You will always call your boyfriend by his job title. Or simply
sunbaenim. Never his name. Never. He doesn't have one.
20) If you TRULY love each other, you must die together in the end.
Frozen outside instead of finding shelter like sane people. Just
frozen....
21) You go to America you come back miraculously successful. You go to
England you come back amazingly fashionable. You stay in Korea the
only thing that changes is your hairstyle.
22) And if you come back with no apparent reason then it's because you
have cancer.
23) Everyone always goes to the same hospital no matter where they are.
24) If you stand out in the rain for more than five minutes, you'll
end up with a fever and vertigo and people will rush you to the
hospital to get some magic IV. And instead of taking an ambulance or
driving they'll race you on their back.
25) Even if you're poor and can't eat, you never wear the same clothes twice.
26) If you play a poor kid, you always have dirt on your face and your
hair is always messy.
27) If you're saving someone from being hit from a car, you'll push
them out of the way and wait for the car to hit you instead. ..
couldnt be more true, their like a deer in headlights
28) Everyone has a long lost sister/brother/twin. Usually one they
didn't know about.
29) If you don't want to answer your phone, you can't just turn it
off. The battery
needs to be taken out.
30) All korean men can drink hard, smoke long, sing well and play
piano. Usually all at the same time. And at the same restaurant that
has a piano that they let anyone use.
31) If you're in a relationship, you must at one point leave and have
your lover tearfully come RIGHT before you board the plane (vice versa
applies as well. You can be the chaser). 60% of the time you see each
other, the other 40% you're roaming around in circles and pass each
other about six times, but miraculously never see them.
32) If you're getting off a plane, you're ALWAYS wearing sunglasses. ALWAYS.
33) All guys wear hideous tracksuits zipped up to their neck. Even if
all they're doing is jumproping.
34) Girls will always storm off because they're mad and the guy will
stoically grab them by the arm and swing them back- and by magic, not
dislocate their shoulders.
35) Guys always look like they're 6 feet tall, even if they're only
5'10. Thank you camera angles.
36) Guys like to wear foundation, eyeliner and sometimes a smudge of lipliner.
37) You always get stuck in an elevator with someone who makes you
feel uncomfortable. Even if there are six different elevators, you'll
always be stuck in the same one with that bastard you hate (or just
fought with).
38) Unless you're fabulously rich, your in-laws will always hate you ..
39) So will your sister-in-law. ..
40) Your brother-in-law might be pining away for you. .. > ..
41) There are only 2 ways to kiss. You either press your lips against
theirs with your mouth completely shut, and just press away for a very
long and uncomfortable time. OR you devour the other person and suck
out their soul. In both instances, the world spins.
42) A guy will always get the right size ring, even if you're never held hands.
43) People stare off into space and ponder a lot. They'll just stop in
the middle of the road and watch a leaf on a tree for a good three
minutes, and just ponder.
44) You'll get pregnant the first time you have sex.
45) You'll get pregnant if he kisses you on the forehead.
46) Hell- you'll get pregnant if you hold hands. ..
47) If you overcome great obstacles to be together, one of you must
die. Probably due to cancer.
48) One korean man can kick the butts of 6 gangstas. Especially when
they all stand in a circle and attack the guy one by one. Then when
each of them get their butts OWNED, they wise up and attack the guy at
the same time. Then the guy will get pulverized and bleed out onto the
dusty concrete floor of the empty warehouse they've found to fight in.
There will be a fire in a trashcan somewhere. And the girl will have
watched this the entire time, screaming in horror. Instead of calling
119, she'll just watch and cry. But it's okay. Cuz the next day the
guy will be fine with a few random bandages and a few face scars. But
never a black eye.
49) It ain't a real fight unless the gangstas fight dirty with a stick
or switchblade.
50) If you study in the states (perferably Harvard), you are one of
the top students and can speak perfect English (as assumed by the
reactions of those around you). Why the rest of the world OUTSIDE of
the TV can't understand a single word uttered out of your melodramatic
mouth is beyond me.
Comments by me!! - Some are really funny!! This person must have watch lots of korean dramas to tell out quite accurate similarities. The way he/she writes plus the comments on it make it sound funnier.
My favourites are about the cancer, the nosebleeding and blah blah..haha too many to say anyway. Despite all this, I still like to watch korean dramas and will continue to watch it if it is interesting.
