Discussion on K-drama clichés

If it's the main girl/guy that gets rejected, dramatic music plays and it's suppose to be sad, but if it's a minor character who gets rejected upbeat music plays and it's suppose to be funny. I always feel bad for the characters that are just there for comic relief.

This one is so true....I never understood how they get in those situations. Without even paying attention to their surroundings??

That person is in the toilet and the other person who is talking about him/her is outside, washing hands, combing hair or something and doesn't have the slightest clue that the one he/she is talking about is in there in the toilet and can hear everything being said :D

A waves at B and B waves back. A gets all smily and happy for being waved at by B but it so happens that B was actually waving at C xD

Given how often this has happened to me, I'm certain this is more a fact of life than a cliche. =/ Then again, my life might just be one awkward moment extended over 23 years.

When a girl slaps her face many times esp when she does something stupid ...

I've noticed that as well. Especially mothers: it's also mentioned on the list of clichés Rika-chan found:
"54. All mother's are violent (except if they are rich when they are anemic, weak and unhappy)"

But not just mothers, other people as well; girls hit boys and boys hit each other... Usually it's meant to be funny but sometimes the reality behind that strikes me: violence is violence however you look at it. And I've noticed that nowadays I sometimes playfully slap my little brothers in their arm or head if they say/do something stupid or annoying. It's no big deal since they are already bigger than me anyways but I don't like myself doing that and I feel that it's a behaviour model I've unconsciously picked up from TV shows - and more recently from dramas. I know this isn't anything serious but still it vexes me. I don't want to be that kind of woman who slaps anyone she wants for every little reason. I and people around me aren't drama characters after all!

Susu! You should totally start a thread about what Drama traits we pick up from watching and have brought into our real lives! That is so funny. (I mean I know hitting isn't supposed to be funny, but still...) I know I say certain korean words to people around me like..Iliwa! or Ppalli! (Come here! or Hurry!) and they look at me like...YOU ARE CRAZY!

I just thought of one.

If a character finds someone they like/love/starting to fall for sleeping somewhere in what seems to be a rather uncomfortable position, rather than waking them up and moving them to the bed they'll just find a blanket and throw it on them. Sure, I understand not wanting to wake up your significant other, but in the long run won't they wake up next morning with a sore neck and painful back.
