My first reaction to the dish washing was that nobody told him where the dishwasher was. *g*
Every time some of that unrealistic stuff comes up, I automatically think: "Ah, manga!" which of course is no excuse to make it better in the dorama.

Ah, manga - of course! :) But you're right - that really isn't an excuse.
