7 Hidden K-drama Rules Writers Abide By

From celestial beings to slime monsters, Kdramas have it all! Or maybe not? The Kdrama world is vast and endless; however, after years of watching dramas, I have come to the conclusion that writers and directors have hidden rules they abide by while working. Here is a list of what I think these rules look like.  K-Drama Checklist 1. Male Leads Need to Be Handsome I am not talking about a male lead who needs shaving to become handsome here. I am speaking about a genuine person who is not handsome but rather normal looking with an average height. 2.

A little bit of a different approach to the K-World is sometimes all you need to drag that one persistent friend to become as much of a Kdrama fan as you. While many old fans like me started Kdramas as teenagers in love with Lee Min Ho in Boys Over Flowers and Lee Sung Gi in My Girlfriend is a Gumhio, etc. that's not the case for everyone. Frankly, If someone tried to turn me into a fan using these dramas now, I would not bother checking any other Korean drama. Simply because the genre is always the same " Romantic Comedy". After 21 you start searching for diversity and that where the following list is useful, your friend at work will definitely fall in love with one of these dramas.  Non-Romantic K-Drama on Netflix and Viki 1. Cheif Kim  Need a drama that discusses workplace corruption, leadership, clashing ideologies and everyday office workers life, this is the drama for you! Cheif Kim does not have much romance if any, two side characters fall in love in 5 minutes of
