Ever watched a Korean TV show and thought to yourself, "This is nice ..but it needs more taboo romance!"
Or crying.
Or melodramatic running through a winter Seoul in a t-shirt.
Or cancer, or a mysterious inner organ failure that doesn't show on the outside at all.
This your opportunity to create and participate in the making of your very own kdrama! KDRAMA: The Videogame is a must-purchase for every angst-cliché loving soul out there.
From the people who brought you Feed a Johnny! : The Videogame That Eats You and Are You Shuai? : The Taiwanese Boyband Simulation, comes a brand new exciting - and hopefully heart-breaking - adventure you simply must not miss.
In KDRAMA: The Videogame, you have a huge variety of choices on how to play the game.
There is the Heroine Mode, wherein you approach the wonderful world of kdrama through the eyes of the female main character. You can be
a) a poor but spunky girl in severe financial difficulties due to having to pay for her ill little brother's treatment
or
b) a poor but spunky girl in severe financial difficulties due to having to pay for the deep debts her father caused with his loans
or
c) a poor but spunky girl in severe financial difficulties due to being a generally virtuous person and donating all her money to help street dogs of Moscow
or
d) a flawed but lovable 30-something working woman who's trying to figure out herself and what she wants in life (besides a younger boyfriend).
Or if you're in the mood for something entirely different, why not try the Hero Mode, where you can identify yourself with one of these tiltilating options:
a) an over-whelmingly handsome grandson of an international corporation owner, with dead parents/brother/sister/dog and therefore angst, who has a black belt in every fighting style out there is and who could one day take up a career as a concert pianist, should he ever want it
or
b) an over-whelmingly handsome junior mobster, who has a black belt in every fighting style out there is and a past he he can't quite recall - but he angsts about it anyhow
or
c) an over-whelmingly handsome doctor whose parents are stupendously rich for whatever reason and ..well, you get my meaning
or
d) a young, over-whelmingly handsome man with a playboy streak (and a yet-undiscovered affection for older females).
Choose your path to true kdrama love from one of these unique plot devices!
1) A love contract!
2) A dating contract!
3) A contract where the hero and heroine decide to pretend to be dating for monetary or whatever gains, and decide on some basic rules like let's not kiss or let's not fall in love, of course meaning that they end up breaking both.
4) A small space the hero and heroine are forced to share because they're going to be married to each other or because she's poor and somebody sold her house to him or because in Korea, a lot of apartments end up with two owners at once because that's simply how things work.
5) A love/dating contract!
And of course, a selection of possible plot twists you can throw into the story as you wish - depending on how well you play the game. These will send your head spinning!
Just a few of the great, great plot twist possibilities are...
- Tumor!
- Fatal illness (not AIDS)!
- Shared fatal illness!
- Surprise step-siblinghood!
- Surprise half-siblinghood!
- Surprise cousinhood!
- Surprise actual siblinghood!
We asked for feedback on Feed a Johnny! : The Videogame That Eats You and you told us you loved the Guess Yamapi's Favourite Ice Cream Flavor! mini-game. For KDRAMA: The Videogame, we're kicking it up a notch and came up with these three fascinating mini-games you can play to take a break from the plot of your own kdrama!
Scratch a Secondary Female!
She has stilettos and probably calls the hero "oppa" -- every time you see her face on-screen, you want to kill yourself, and her along with you. Well, now you can make her suffer as much as you suffer watching her! (And despite what the internet tells you, there is no cheat code to provide a baseball bat for this mini-game. No, really, there isn't.)
Marry Off the Secondary Hero!
Isn't he charming, handsome, kind, understanding, forgiving? Is he everything the hero is, only without the jealous yelling and manpain? He's secondary hero, and he wants the love he can never have. But he deserves love, too, and since kdramas hardly ever have sequels, here is your chance to pair up and create the perfect girl (who isn't the heroine) for this poor guy.
Divorce That Family!
If the heroine has parents, chances are they're the reason she has to slave her ass off to earn the rent. If the hero has parents, chances are they're the reason he's traumatized to the bone and unable to understand love until heroine comes along. So why not just get rid of those damned awful drama parents who're not doing anybody any good? In this mini-game you can just throw them in the bin and have them migrate to Timbuktu. Nobody will shed a tear once they're gone. Except the hero, because damn, they really messed that poor boy up.
And last but not least ...
The Ending! Finally, an ending that will be exactly to your liking and that tangled web of human emotions will end as messily or as happily as you so wish. Just some of the alternatives are..
..rocks fall, everybody dies.
..somebody has a gun, everybody dies.
..cancer wins. Somebody dies, whoever doesn't die, dies eventually of broken heart.
..somebody dies. We'll get back to you on the why later.
..nobody dies, but the main couple never sees each other again.
..nobody dies, the main couple ends up together ..and then rocks fall, everybody dies.
..nobody dies, the main couple ends up together, there is a comedic scene, rocks fall - just kidding!
These are just some of the great features KDRAMA: The Videogame has to offer you. Explore the game through kiss analyses and angst statistics!
And much much more!
