Korean Drama Likeness??? Maybe It's A Coincidence??~~

Okay, so I have been falling back on watching Korean dramas of any kind lately... (Yes, the last one I was most up to date with was when BIG came out) Anyway, I couldn't help but notice that no matter how different the dramas may appear to be, they are in fact more alike then we dare to admit... I mean honestly, if you were to tell yourself that its the same plot, wouldn't you still watch it when you see the actors and actresses? Admit it! You will because I know I would... But anyhow, if you're not quite sure what I'm going on about, here are a few things that might give you a hint about what I'm getting at...

1. There will always and I mean ALWAYS be a love triangle no matter how bizarre it may appear

In Boys Over Flowers, it was a love triangle between Jun-pyo, Jandi and Jihoo

In You're Beautiful, it was between all three guys for one girl

See, what I mean? And it just isn't the two dramas above but almost ALL of them...

2. The girl would always find a way to relate her crush to some sort of object

In You're Beautiful, Mi Nyu (Right) called her crush, Tae kyung (left) her star

Okay, so it can be kind of cute... Sometimes... xD

3. The girl always tries to protect her crush by concealing her feelings and lying to her crush

In B.I.G., Da ran breaks Kyu Joon's heart by telling him she is still in love with her ex-fiance

As seen with Jan Di as well, when she lies to Jun Pyo about her feelings fading

4. The female characters are sometimes so naive its frustrating

In The Thorn Birds, Jung Eun is so naive that she can't see through her ex best friend's tricks

Mi Nyu actually believes her manager when he tells her that pressing her nose will make her fluttery feelings go away


Which sometimes makes you want to do this...

5. They go bug-eyed whenever they are kissed

Heartstrings

Flower Boys Next Door (Okay, so the guys do get bug eyed too... xD)

6. The meanie... She is normally the other female in the story who is after the affection of the very same guy but not being the center of his attention makes her do whatever it takes to get it... 

Spy Myungwol

My Babyfaced Beauty

6. The supporters! Yes, so all the female characters have really great and supportive friends...

Manager Ma in You're Beautiful acts as Mi Nyu's support system throughout the movie

Ga Eul is Jandi's best friend in Boys Over Flowers

They pretend to be Myung wol's parents while she's in South Korea in Spy Myungwol

7. The transformation... There will be a scene in the dramas where the lead female characters will dress up and catches the attention of her crush

   Jandi in Boys Over Flowers

So young wears the dress she designs to a charity gala in My Babyfaced Beauty and totally shocks her boss who is one of the guys in the love triangle..

And you're like, 'WOW!'

8. Okay, so let's give the male characters a little credit too... They HAVE to always have a cute action/thing/character... Just see for yourself... 

Jang Geum Suk's look is a recurrent thing in You're Beautiful

Gong Yoo's facial expressions are epic in B.I.G

9. The longing... YES! That look is written all over their faces... LOOK!

In B.I.G., Kyung Joo looks at Da ran (after he switched bodies with her fiance)

Mi Nyu does this whenever she sees Tae kyung and her heart races

10. The FIGHT!! Yes, so all the stories somehow begins with this really whacked out hate relationship which would develop into something more...

So, if you can't really figure this out, this is the scene where Jan Di kicks Jun pyo to put him in his place

I couldn't really find the picture for their fight but this is the scene where So young shouts in frustration

 All in all, there are many overlapping parts in the plots of Korean dramas... Some are predictable, some are lovable and some just keep you wanting more... But I guess that's what makes it so great sometimes... The ability these dramas give us to dream and hope for the ending... Well, that's it from me for now... Until next time... :D
