Never hit a man with glasses. Hit him with a baseball bat.
The difference between Japanese and Korean dramas:
Jdrama: I am your favorite character.
Kdrama: I am your favorite character, and I will be brutally shot down by a dozen cops in the finale.
Jdrama: Life is pretty hard as a single mom!
Kdrama: Especially when your 7 year old daughter has AIDS.
Jdrama: I had a rough childhood. My parents were mean to me. ):
Kdrama: My father was framed for treason, murdered before my eyes, and publically drawn and quartered while I watched. Then my mother and sister were carted off as slaves, and I had to stone my mom for my own survival. I wandered, homeless and alone, stumbling through the various slaughters of school-age children, until I eventually suffered a psychotic break and lost my memory. Happy tenth birthday!
Jdrama: I am unhappy. I will cry single pearly tears at attractive angles.
Kdrama: OMG WHY ARE YOUR EYES GLOWING RED?? WHAT-- OMG STOP LIGHTING THE WORLD ON FIRE! NOT ON! NOT ON!
Jdrama: I'm in love with my sister!!
Kdrama: I'm in love with my sister!! And then I die.
Jdrama: Disney death! Ahahaha, faked you out!
Kdrama: ROCKS FALL, EVERYBODY DIES. EVEN HER. EVEN HER. HIM TOO. OH, AND ESPECIALLY HIM. Watch as Character A is stabbed and bleeding out, Character B dying his arms after killing Character C, because Character D died in front of her, having nothing to live for after Character E's tragic passing. Then Character F is killed in a fight with Character G, and the final fate of Character H comes down a THREE-WAY STAB -- a Mexican standoff with swords -- which leaves Character J the lone survivor, sitting heavily on the steps and choking on his own tears as the drama fades to black for the last time.
Yes, these are all real examples.
