11 Amazingly Ridiculous Things That Happen In Most K-Dramas

Korean dramas are addicting and complete soap operas at times. Here are some of the most ridiculous plot tropes in the K-Drama scene.

1. Rich Boy Falls For the Poor Girl

The original drama love story; the rich boy falls for a tragically poor girl who he must save from her sad life. Even though she seemed perfectly happy until the rich boy came into her life and caused bullying and drama...

2. Completely Evil Mom Character

This lady's only goal seems to be making our female lead miserable. She will do anything to break up the main couple, from evicting them to the classic dramatic slap-to-the-face.

3. Over-the-Top Accident Scene

Nothing screams drama like a car accident (or several) that wrenches our couple apart. Don't forget the dramatic music and obvious foreshadowing.

4. Someone's Sick

It isn't a Korean drama unless someone has a terrible disease or is in a coma. How else would we justify one-sided confession monologues?

5. Annoying Secondary Female

You know this girl is coming when you hear the shrill sound of Oppa! in the distance. She whines, she hates on everyone, and she loves the male lead way too much. Cue another dramatic slap-in-the-face for our female lead.

6. Crying

And not just any crying. A ridiculous amount of crying. And it is gonna look pretty. And it will destroy you.

7. Neglected Secondary Male

This guy is perfect for the heroine in every way... except that he hasn't been cast as the male lead. We lament that we can't just take him for ourselves.

8. Adorable Beta Couple

When the main couple just doesn't do it for you the ever reliable beta couple can make a show tolerable. Retreat to their complete lack of ridiculous drama and be at peace.

9. Everyone is Super Pretty

It doesn't matter if it's a hospital or a school, everyone is extremely fashionable and beautiful. It makes everything seem twice as dramatic.

10. Cringe-Worthy Kisses

If you're looking for completely sexless and painful-looking kisses, K-Dramas have what you need. Not to say there aren't some good ones but too many end up like the one above.

11. Cliffhanger Endings

Add some dramatic music and a freeze-frame and we have ourselves a classic K-Drama cliffhanger. It's the best way to keep us coming back for more.
