The fact that they make me delusional and I expect all relationships to be like that. And when they are supposed to be waking up and they look so good that we should have to pay to look at them meanwhile me looking like a piece of poop.
You know what I hate the most , a person who does all wrong with an obsession but is killed by only a bullet in head or on spot killed by an accident caused by leads , but what about the sufferings caused to the leads for their WHOLE life. Atleast they should satisfy us with a happy life of main leads or sufferings of bad guy (please exclude the handsome one's 🐱)
1)When someone dies or when People are trying to kill the female lead like WOW 2)When toxicity(from either FL or ML) is disguised as cute stuff in romcom 3) When we don't get to know the reason behind the Main Villain's actions because most of the time they are just Psycho even tho it's doesn't make any sense 4) When the male lead is suffering while the Female lead is oblivious to all that and having the time of her life. Mostly because He only exists for her so can't go on with his daily shit like a normal person.
i hate it when they make the characters so painfully shy that the "only" way for them to confess is to get drunk....then they don't even remember it. half of k-drama confessions happen when unconscious, under the influence, or in the middle of a fight
that's why i loved doctor slump. they were so mature when it came to dealing with their feelings and telling each other how they felt without unneccesary drunk confession scenes
And then the „my family is so poor, I have my only room, we have a separate shower and bathtub, and I have my own desk and I have a personal chef cook“
AHHH HAN SEO JUN, I WILL SAY THIS AGAIN, LEE JU KYUNG IS SO F-ING DUMB, HAN SEO JUN WAITED, FOR 2 YEARS AND YOU LEFT HIM FOR SOMEONE WHO LEFT YOU BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT YOU COULDN'T WAIT
Exactly and they do it in slowmo which makes it even more awkward I feel so uncomfortable watching these I either get angry a the character or just skip the scene altogether 💀🙄
I agree. The h? Like how many actually do end up with their first lv? And that too, they always meet their first love in childhood only, like when they were below 10 yrs old. And! And those kids (leads) both don't just grow up to be the ace in their field (occupation) but also always turn out to be good people while also looking all fine, tall, well built/good figure, healthy, beautiful/handsome. All of that is so stupid for it to repeat in almost every K and c drama. And why, why do you have to harm parents? Why can't you have a normal story, where both parents of both leads are healthy and well, the leads did not meet in their childhood, they are not the "fated" ones, they just meet each other later in life ? And some take it to another level by having the leads reincarnate several times through centuries, only for them to get a happy ending finally in the present time of the world (I'll excuse "Destined with you" bcuz that was fun to watch, and better in many areas compared to the other works of the same kind/similar story). Or... there's just so much killing and all with zombies and all like in squid game, duty after school etc. The first love that you meet in childhood, some tragedy happen and you meet again later in life, both looking and being good people while being the ace in their field plot is the most annoying one for me.
Getting drunk as a plot device to move the romance forward. It’s like almost every show. Like good thing they have alcohol in Korea because apparently they would never be able to find love without it. Also how they often suddenly have to part for 1-3 years at the end of the show for some random reason. Like they can’t just have a happy ending without that.
I've literally started watching some dramas thinking, "I wonder what crazy reason they'll make up for the leads spending two years apart this time." Sure enough, the ML spent two years in the US because... well I'm still not really sure why.
For me its---- showing the pure love between brother or any sibling/step sibling in the first half of the drama and then making them blood enemies at the end like in Flex x Cop
I hate when characters play unnecessarily cute or clueless dumb even it's common sense,it doesn't even look natural, it makes me cringe hard it happens in every kdrama
if they say Africa like its not a continent one more time or talk about African poor people like there isnt poor people in America, Europe, or Asia.. I will SCREAM..
In more serious kdramas, whenever they mention a criminal or villain escaping to another country, they will always mention SEA countries like the Philippines and Thailand. They will never mention these countries as tourist-go-to places for vacation even though a lot of Korean people come to SEA countries for their beautiful beaches and tropical landscapes 😅
Agreed, the white truck of doom is always there. Whenever a character is near a road in any drama, I expect one to suddenly appear out of nowhere. Oh and bad things always happen when it rains!
Last episode, everything's perfect, but then something happens and one of the main leads suddenly has to go abroad for a year. The next scene is shown, they're already back and getting yelled at by the other main lead for not contacting them that whole year. Then they get married. Like, literally wtf. WHY? For WHAT?
Oh my god, I hate this one. It sounds too ridiculous to marry your lover who ghosted you!. I haven't watched this one high rated drama (can't remember the name) because someone spoiled the ending for me and it's the same ending you mentioned.
@@small_dropin_the_big_ocean995 yeah, but why the abroad plot anyways? It adds nothing to the story. And even if you know the ending, it maybe spoiler you into knowing that they'll end up together but other than that, it really doesn't matter. A lot of kdramas have this plot. Here are some (so spoiler alert I guess): Coffee Prince Business Proposal My Name is Kim Sam Soon Incurable Case of Love (japanese) The Heirs Goblin My Love from the Star Boys over Flowers She was pretty
@@myeramimclerie7869 Oh damn, I have dropped and forgotten like all of these dramas for similar overused troupes (except for My name is Sam Soon, I haven't watched that one). I didn't even know they had same "ghost your partner for a year" ending. I don't get it either. Just for shock value I guess, but all it does is spoil my entire feeling towards the show.
@@small_dropin_the_big_ocean995 I mostly just ignore it 😅 I'm like "oh well here we go again" and then watch through that roughly 5mins this madness takes out of the final episode... I'll just be happy that they ended up together.
I think the thing I hate the most is the way they'll just stand there watching a vehicle hurtle toward them, like wtf they have plenty of time to move out of the way, but they just stand there. Also how the driver can see them not moving a mile off, but continues driving straight towards them, when there's plenty of time for them to stop or simply change lanes!!! It's even more ridiculous when it's a bicycle!!!
This and when the fl falls (so slowly) and ml catches her then they stay there staring at each other (like omg just move it's not that serious yall got other things to be doing). And they act so shocked too, that's why I like the second episode when everything is faster 🙄
I also hate it when one will obviously see a car coming but instead of moving away, they just stand there waiting for the angel of God to save them (like dude leave the road😂)
Or when someone goes to save them and instead of pushing them off the road, they just hug the person and stand still in front of the car like if you had time to go hug the person you might as well have used it to push them off the road na
@@kerstingravel8160 being shocked happens in real life so you might get frozen. But it shouldn't be writtrn in a romantic way where someone handsome will come cause in real life it doesn't happen 99.99%. Maybe 100% false
I hate when the male lead is supposed to be this high-powered, sophisticated CEO but as soon as things turn romantic he acts like a bumbling 12-year-old who has never been kissed. Actually I hate it when any of the male characters act like bumbling 12-year-olds when things get romantic.
And he has no works except chasing after FL. I mean they must be tired after whole day work but how do you still have time and energy to go out and drinks.
I don't like it when either the ML or FL develops feelings for each other and cheat on their past relationships and then it is justified because their past partners were toxic...
@@zoeemin9487no cause I couldn't get rid of that too, they only turned the male lead ex into a cheater so they could justify him emotionally cheating on her with the female lead
Accidental eavesdropping as a way to advance the plot. I now expect that if there's ever a conversation where someone says, "Don't ever, ever repeat this to Ahjumma", Ahjumma will be right outside the door, probably because she left something in the room and had to come back to fetch it.
I hate when female characters are physically abusing their male friends or lovers just for the comedic effect. I haven't seen it yet with reversed genders, but I'd hate that too.
@@PrabhatKumar-xw6gl From the top of my head the secondary FL either punches or kicks her BF in Cafe Minamdang when he tries to kiss her so their relationship can stay in secret from the ML. Same in Hometown Cha Cha Cha although not that severe and I love that series, the FL punches the ML trying to hide from the local Ajummas that they are dating but of course it doesn't work.
The falling over so someone can catch them. Sheesh, I’m in my 50s and have fallen over like twice in my entire life. And certainly no one caught me! And the whole I need to go to the hospital when it’s like a paper cut! In Australia you practically need to be missing an arm before you would bother with the hospital. Just stick a bandaid on it you babies!
For me most annoying is shaking someone after some accident (in case of some displacement you can cause permanent paralysis) instead of doing CPR. Apparently only doctors in Korea can perform first aid.
well i would like to add the "Past connections" that's being connected with present where everytime only the female lead dies and the male lead follows her
I hate when people are ALWAYS interrupting the male and female leads when they’re just trying to kiss each other for literally two seconds!!! Love ur channel btw
Things I don't like in k dramas: 1. Male lead with traumatic childhood 2. Male lead family caused FML parents' death 3. Random fall down and Kiss 4. They always met as kids 5. First kiss and confession get disturbed by a random dude 6. That white truck 7. Lovers from past life 8. Always first kiss in ep 8 9. Random break up in ep 14 10. Ending become a tragedy for no reason
i hate that white truck seriously and the fact is now it has become a meme so kdrama directors and writer used that damn white coloured truck to unalive the character and why there are no other trucks? in the recent show i watch it was marry my husband and the ml gets infront of a white truck to save the fl idk i should be sad but when i saw the truck i started laughing and crying why?? white trucks
im fine with the traumatic childhood thing, but the one drama i watched where the male lead's family caused the female lead's parent's death was in Clean with a Passion for Now and that shit was no fun at all
@@kiconcograce2718okay i do agree vth the unnecessary historical tropes in a drama when it's not completely about their past life....but in "a good day to be a dog" i think that trope was needed...i mean if u have read the original webtoon of the drama, u wud understand better cox the reason she turns into a dog was well explained there... I didn't really liked the drama version tho...but i just felt that trope wss reqd cox it was originally planned for the webtoon.
What i hate the most is when there is misunderstanding, the girl happen to listen to a conversation accidentaly and boom she go and don't know the rest and the worst is because she believe everything without any proof and didn't even think that the best solution is to comunicate with your boyfriend , investigate to know the truth but no what she does is to break up without any explaination and cry all the tears of her body
yes EAW was indeed a good drama sometime i even rewatch it as the ml is prbly the greenest flag ever and her friends are supportive and the fact her bestie liked the lawyer but when she saw another lawyer liked she was like ok whatever
i hate that the writers think that romance kdramas should always end with a marriage cause most of the time the leads haven't even been dating for that long, or their career growth can be interupted by that wedding. like not every single couple have to get married immediately OR ever to be together
One thing I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE about dramas is when the female lead is a damsel in distress and cant take care of herself, then cowers behind the male lead and depends on him to protect her. LIKE GROW A FREAKING BACKBONE AND HOLD YOUR HEAD HIGH QUEEN.
Piggy back rides, drink until they are black out drunk, someone has to go the states for 2-5 years with no contact whatsoever, blind dates, finally get together in episode 9 only to break up at the end of episode 9. Everyone is SK knew each other in childhood, angry pushy parents. conversation at shout level in restaurants, overhearing side characters.
It’s an established trope but I really would like to see a rich chaebol matriarch/patriarch character that isn’t 1000% supportive of their terrible child/grandchild when they do something terrible. Like I understand that someone in their position may be likely to protect ‘their own’ and adopt the mindset of special privileges awarded to them due to their wealth and standing. But for once I’d like to see one that has strong enough morals that it wouldn’t fly with them, or they’d enact a form of punishment onto their kids in their own way. And…you know, not be killed off trying to do the right thing. I also hate when there’s the ‘one’ good rich person they either aren’t rich for long or get killed off just in time to NOT help the main characters.
You think with the popularity of K-Dramas and tropes they’d have some variation of the ‘I’m-up-to-no-good’ outfit an antagonist/villain wears when they’re doing something bad or illegal. Like at this point anyone I see rocking black clothes (bomber jacket and skinny jeans) head to toe with a black baseball cap, mask, and gloves in any show I’m immediately sus. Yet in universe no one’s batting an eye even when it’s broad daylight or a group. It makes sense when the villain looks like a delivery person or made any effort to blend in. The suspense and thrill is there but subtle. But I would be on high alert if I saw anyone walking toward me, going in/out of a building, or at my doorstep in that get up. But the leads tend to either not notice until it’s too late or try ‘what’s going on’ their way out via talking.
I hate when the relationship of the second leads are more interesting than the main story but they are only shown in two episodes and are instantly together or have a bad ending. and I hate when the second leads are hotter and cooler and deserve a good ending more than the main leads but get a bad ending and no one to love.
Oh the number of marriage/remarriages, the death and rebirth of the same person in one same lifetime, the number of times they divorce/separate and get back together, the number of accidents and great diseases they survive. I have the one serial I hate the most of all Hindi serials, "Kasam", just to keep up with their Title of the show, the craziness that the plot went through reminds me of "Bade Achhe Lagte Hai s1". Actually in a way, it's almost every Indian serial's plot. Looking back "Yeh Rishta Kya Kehelatha hai : story of Akshara and Naithik" until their kids grew up was a quality family drama 🤌🤌. There was a realistic plot and real-life situation portrays.
But cliffhangers are important o make us watch the next episode. Honestly after watching so many k dramas I really need the cliffhangers to keep me going as I easily get tired of all the previously mentioned bullshits.
That is what I was trying to say! I think like all the points made by OP are a result of troupès overdone in kdramas that has resulted in exhaustion and leaves bad taste.
You are right. Nowadays 16 episodes are feeling like 16 years for me😂 They should shorten it to 10 or 12 episodes. But if it is a comedy kdrama even 20 episodes are not enough for me.
I hate school dramas where the students go crazy bcuz some1 is handsome... Like hello he's just another human I hate when the FL chooses the male lead who treats her like trash n not the 2nd lead tht is always there 2 wipe her tears I hate when as soon as some1 is abt to reveal some evidence 2 the police they die... Like stop drawing it out... Geez Among other things😌
I hate when the writers design a character so well that is literally the perfect man/woman and then make the lead couple break up just so they can introduce another season of the drama. (Hello Yumi's Cells S2)
The sudden personality flip of a cinnamon role character 4 episode till the finale just to add a murder mystery plot irks me. Especially when there’s little to no build up.
the first one is ALWAYS on the plot that makes it normal for me. i'm like "oh here we go again". or like i already know it's gonna happen before even starting the kdrama.
One thing I don't like are the betrayals, like, let my two brothers/two best friends chill and fight together, why the hell would you want to break their perfect bond?
Childhood connections: I HATE THEM. especially when they supposedly "fell" for each othwr and carry those feeling to adulthood. Please be real! What child still pines over a kids they new when yhwy were 7?
I also hate the wasted food and drinks, the drunk person who throws up is somehow cute (ick), the violence in schools scenarios, the shaking of injured people (geez, never heard of spinal injuries people), the way many women are portrayed as bit#$3, (most of us actually don’t hate other women) the parents often being so so so awful, the trips where they take one little backpack but seem to have so many different outfits, the ‘they have a fever’ and treat it with some random medicine. I love K dramas,but the best ones don’t rely on these tired tropes and overused storylines.
Lol, the shaking of injured people is so real, like someone just got stabbed and they're shaking him, crying and saying "wake up please !" Like CALL AN AMBULANCE, APPLY PRESSURE, DO CPR, ANYTHING IS BETTER THAN THIS
When it’s the 12th episode, everyone’s happy, the leads are finally together and then the white truck shows up thenn female lead gets kdrama induced amnesia
I totally agree with the one about the two male leads fighting over then female lead the they always have more tension and chemistry sometimes I find my self rooting for them to be together 😭
When the protagonists claim to be in a relationship without ever exchanging a kiss, just reciting monologues not even looking at each other (and then "breaking up"). I mean, imagine having Moon Sang Min (Wedding impossible) or Choi Minho (The Fabulous) all for yourself during a day and a night and just... stargazing silently! That is something a hot blooded, passionate Greek like me just cannot understand and accept!!!
I hate it when in the drama everyone praising over the looks of male lead but nobody is talking about the beauty of the female lead . Even though they are really pretty
I personally hate when for some reason so many romance kdramas alway have a kidnapper or murder or stalker that just is there to drag on the show for no reason
I really hate it when the main characters knew each other from childhood, with constant flashbacks, and therefore MUST end up together. Two five-year-olds who are friends do not need to fall in love 20 years later. They can love other people, it's fine.
Fighting over FL but they just start a new chapter of bromance.. Like shown in : True beauty, strong girl do bong soon etc. But it's okay, we enjoyed it anyway..🤣🤣 You know what I mean... 👀👀
It is difficult to watch ongoing dramas! I’ve done it a few times and ended up watching other dramas in between the next episode. Also, the 2nd male lead needs their own female lead who isn’t chosen just because the female lead chose the male lead. Breakups, misunderstandings, conniving characters, those all ruin everything, even though they get corrected at the end.
They always have at least one scene where they are eating. But I think the directors believe it is funny when they stuff their mouths with food. That alone is bad. But they make it worse by talking with their mouth full of food, and even before swallowing that mouthful, they stuff some more food in. And continue talking.
I hate when the female lead has no iniciative. I hate when they keep falling into some hot dude arms. I hate when the male lead only personality is being rich, handsome and cold. I hate when all the secondary chacteres are dressed up ugly and in a comic way (so that the leads are the only hot, well dressed, sad ones).
l hate when the female lead forgive so easily like girl he killed your dad or even he broke up with you because of long distance but you still choose to forgive him make it make sence
One fact that is literally so common in k drama is the past or future showing up in their dreams and being connected with it such as my demon Legend of blue sea True beauty A good day to be dog Extraordinary you etc!😅
Hates it when the leads leave eachother to save eachother. Like, what the fk? Where is the logic, and the cherry on top - they don't share this information to one another.
I hate love triangles that include ex-lovers or bosses when they're not the male lead like backstreet rookie with his girlfriend and her boss and Queen of tears with her ex. I don't know for sure if that's her ex
The first one was so hateful as In the show heirs ml and the fl separate because of family issues cry, be sad and Then reunite after 2 episodes. For no reason. Nothing changed with the situation, nothing changed in their life, if they separated for some reason that reason had no solution.
2:12 About that cliche 😂, In a Spanish romance book trilogy called "Before December", in the second book "After December", the male lead´s father offers money to the female lead to abandon his son... and she is offended at first. Still, she actually took the money🤣🤣🤣🤣 (it was for help her boyfriend) was a wild move i really appreciate.
I hate all the screaming and arguing 😭 it's so annoying.... You can't watch a single episode without listening to them shouting or beefing at each other
the first one is so true, i hate it when they get in a fight in the 14th episode and then they drop this shit: " 2 years later". Like bro stop doing that, 2 years don't just go by like that. As if 2 years would actually change anything. Bro, make it 2 weeks or something like that, but not 2 years😐
I also hate when the second male lead who clearly wants the girl and would literally DIE for her yet the first male lead always ends up getting the girl in the end!!! 😢😢
a lot of social stuff / work is about alcohol. like - you need a new job - go drink with your CEO, celebrate something - drink more, sad scene - get drunk, a second character nearly r@pd you - that only because he was drunk...like aren there any other social activities in k dramas
i hate when suddenly someone from the past comes to separate the main leads i mean it is in alll dramassss ughhhhh!!! also when the female lead open her hair and she is the hottest girl in korea i mean like what ??!! And they always show ugly chracters with pimples and specs
Let me know what y'all hate about k-dramas 👀
The fact that 2 hot rich female lead is fighting over an useless stupid guy, like they could've done better. Like why not just date each other 😏
The fact that they make me delusional and I expect all relationships to be like that. And when they are supposed to be waking up and they look so good that we should have to pay to look at them meanwhile me looking like a piece of poop.
You know what I hate the most , a person who does all wrong with an obsession but is killed by only a bullet in head or on spot killed by an accident caused by leads , but what about the sufferings caused to the leads for their WHOLE life. Atleast they should satisfy us with a happy life of main leads or sufferings of bad guy (please exclude the handsome one's 🐱)
The fact that the rich guys beat UP the poor one, like in revolutionary love i dont like the dad of the main character
1)When someone dies or when People are trying to kill the female lead like WOW
2)When toxicity(from either FL or ML) is disguised as cute stuff in romcom
3) When we don't get to know the reason behind the Main Villain's actions because most of the time they are just Psycho even tho it's doesn't make any sense
4) When the male lead is suffering while the Female lead is oblivious to all that and having the time of her life. Mostly because He only exists for her so can't go on with his daily shit like a normal person.
The misunderstanding in 10th episode is one annoying thing
True
where our love unfolds (bombstic sideeye)
Literally 'Don't dare to dream" 😭😭😭
When people leave a table set of f delicious, scrumptious food after eating a bite.
(like give it to me folks)
Exactly they order so much and eat it like a baby
HAHA .SO TRUE
When they get coffee and EVERY SINGLE time they take a sip n they get up n leave 😭
Infuriating I reckon! And so many drinks left on tables untouched! Who actually does that?
Fr tho
i hate it when they make the characters so painfully shy that the "only" way for them to confess is to get drunk....then they don't even remember it. half of k-drama confessions happen when unconscious, under the influence, or in the middle of a fight
Fr not this but they show confession so unrealistic
that's why i loved doctor slump. they were so mature when it came to dealing with their feelings and telling each other how they felt without unneccesary drunk confession scenes

@@llilykkyh why I love the movie too
“Love to Hate You” is another good drama that doesn’t follow that cliche ❤
I hate when the main character is poor but have the last released smartphone, over 20 coats, a nice car... It's so unrealistic 😂
That's why they are still poor. 😅
That's probably why they are poor XDDD
I do know someone who lived in a basement to show off his Bentley.
And then the „my family is so poor, I have my only room, we have a separate shower and bathtub, and I have my own desk and I have a personal chef cook“
Hahaha that’s so true 😂😂😂
Hate it when they take off their glasses and suddenly they're the hottest shit in town.
I KNOW RIGHT.HAHAHA
fr. i know people who wear glasses and are still soooo hot
OR when their is blown by the wind and the male/female lead is suddenly "in love". Geez..really?
their hair is blown
@@The_Disappearing_Ms_Herrod the wind is coming from the walls🤧🤧
I hate when they have great second lead characters but they either don't give them enough screen time or they don't give them a good ending 😢.
when the second lead/ side character dies 😭😖 literally why
or they literally only wrap up a tiny bit in the beginning of the last episode but in like the most insignificant way
AHHH HAN SEO JUN, I WILL SAY THIS AGAIN, LEE JU KYUNG IS SO F-ING DUMB, HAN SEO JUN WAITED, FOR 2 YEARS AND YOU LEFT HIM FOR SOMEONE WHO LEFT YOU BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT YOU COULDN'T WAIT

The wide-eyed, shocked look when they kiss for the first time. Who tf kisses with their eyes open?
And they wonder ...is this a kiss ???
I can't express how much I hate that
There's also the obligatory car accident. Why are they always being knocked down, or t-boned by a truck? Are they really such bad drivers?
Exactly and they do it in slowmo which makes it even more awkward I feel so uncomfortable watching these I either get angry a the character or just skip the scene altogether 💀🙄
THIS!!!
The “childhood trope” in romcoms & the trauma. Most of the time it feels so forced.
How else will we know they are meant to be?! (sarcasm) 😅😂
Honestly when it were only a few dramas doing it it was unique but since alot of the dramas did the same it is no longer unique
Yesssss this is the most annoying
the leads ALWAYS meet as children and they have to be each other's' first love. WHY?
no queen of tears was harmed in this comment lol😂but true tho..
@@hideborrahQueen of tears did it good. Like make it so dramatic that only angels and God can explain that shit happening in real life.
Because apparently second love isn't real or pure enough for them.
Yeah true
I agree. The h? Like how many actually do end up with their first lv? And that too, they always meet their first love in childhood only, like when they were below 10 yrs old. And! And those kids (leads) both don't just grow up to be the ace in their field (occupation) but also always turn out to be good people while also looking all fine, tall, well built/good figure, healthy, beautiful/handsome. All of that is so stupid for it to repeat in almost every K and c drama. And why, why do you have to harm parents? Why can't you have a normal story, where both parents of both leads are healthy and well, the leads did not meet in their childhood, they are not the "fated" ones, they just meet each other later in life ? And some take it to another level by having the leads reincarnate several times through centuries, only for them to get a happy ending finally in the present time of the world (I'll excuse "Destined with you" bcuz that was fun to watch, and better in many areas compared to the other works of the same kind/similar story). Or... there's just so much killing and all with zombies and all like in squid game, duty after school etc.
The first love that you meet in childhood, some tragedy happen and you meet again later in life, both looking and being good people while being the ace in their field plot is the most annoying one for me.
Getting drunk as a plot device to move the romance forward. It’s like almost every show. Like good thing they have alcohol in Korea because apparently they would never be able to find love without it. Also how they often suddenly have to part for 1-3 years at the end of the show for some random reason. Like they can’t just have a happy ending without that.
petition to make kdramas 14 eps max cause they be adding anything to drag the drama to 16 eps
I noticed that too. Like whyyyyyyyy
I've literally started watching some dramas thinking, "I wonder what crazy reason they'll make up for the leads spending two years apart this time."
Sure enough, the ML spent two years in the US because... well I'm still not really sure why.
@@rachelf5466 lol, it's not important, nor does it have to be plausible! it just proves their love, i guess?
Yes, you are right, i always hate that break-up for the silly reason either family or something.
For me its---- showing the pure love between brother or any sibling/step sibling in the first half of the drama and then making them blood enemies at the end like in Flex x Cop
You just gave me a spoiler.
@@shubhangigupta1837asin
Honestly I saw that coming from the 1st ep..I think it cuz kdrama writers just hate sibling bonds
Ikr, I have seen this trope so much that from first ep, I was like there’s no way he’s as nice as he seems.
I hate it when the female lead is always mean to the kind hearted male lead but is kind, subservient, or silent to mean bullies and sunbaes.
I hate when characters play unnecessarily cute or clueless dumb even it's common sense,it doesn't even look natural, it makes me cringe hard it happens in every kdrama
YESSS especially when they're like 30 😭
if they say Africa like its not a continent one more time or talk about African poor people like there isnt poor people in America, Europe, or Asia.. I will SCREAM..
I feel the same way. Like, what did Africa ever do to you? We are a continent of countries (some of which have people that love watching Kdramas).
@@matimanks9431 Yes, if they saw how rich alot of parts of Africa is.. They would pass out
and also they dark skin subtle racism in kdramas and wearing deadlock to show oh these are african people cmon man this is 21st century
In more serious kdramas, whenever they mention a criminal or villain escaping to another country, they will always mention SEA countries like the Philippines and Thailand. They will never mention these countries as tourist-go-to places for vacation even though a lot of Korean people come to SEA countries for their beautiful beaches and tropical landscapes 😅
Omg exactlyyyy like leave Africa alone bro
I hate the White truck killing or accident scene in Kdrama just after the MLs realise their love.... Its so annoying!!!!
Marry my husband
Agreed, the white truck of doom is always there. Whenever a character is near a road in any drama, I expect one to suddenly appear out of nowhere. Oh and bad things always happen when it rains!
The white truck!! Apparently trucks in South Korea all stop super slowly via 10+ second application of the horn
Last episode, everything's perfect, but then something happens and one of the main leads suddenly has to go abroad for a year. The next scene is shown, they're already back and getting yelled at by the other main lead for not contacting them that whole year. Then they get married.
Like, literally wtf. WHY? For WHAT?
Oh my god, I hate this one. It sounds too ridiculous to marry your lover who ghosted you!. I haven't watched this one high rated drama (can't remember the name) because someone spoiled the ending for me and it's the same ending you mentioned.
@@small_dropin_the_big_ocean995 yeah, but why the abroad plot anyways? It adds nothing to the story. And even if you know the ending, it maybe spoiler you into knowing that they'll end up together but other than that, it really doesn't matter. A lot of kdramas have this plot. Here are some (so spoiler alert I guess):
Coffee Prince
Business Proposal
My Name is Kim Sam Soon
Incurable Case of Love (japanese)
The Heirs
Goblin
My Love from the Star
Boys over Flowers
She was pretty
@@myeramimclerie7869 Oh damn, I have dropped and forgotten like all of these dramas for similar overused troupes (except for My name is Sam Soon, I haven't watched that one). I didn't even know they had same "ghost your partner for a year" ending. I don't get it either. Just for shock value I guess, but all it does is spoil my entire feeling towards the show.
@@small_dropin_the_big_ocean995 I mostly just ignore it 😅 I'm like "oh well here we go again" and then watch through that roughly 5mins this madness takes out of the final episode... I'll just be happy that they ended up together.
@@myeramimclerie7869 Haha I get you. ^-^
Lack of communication... My biggest issue. So much could be solved or avoided if they would just f******* talk.
I think the thing I hate the most is the way they'll just stand there watching a vehicle hurtle toward them, like wtf they have plenty of time to move out of the way, but they just stand there. Also how the driver can see them not moving a mile off, but continues driving straight towards them, when there's plenty of time for them to stop or simply change lanes!!! It's even more ridiculous when it's a bicycle!!!
Either slow motion or freeze response. I have always thought it's a slow motion thing.
This and when the fl falls (so slowly) and ml catches her then they stay there staring at each other (like omg just move it's not that serious yall got other things to be doing). And they act so shocked too, that's why I like the second episode when everything is faster 🙄
Fr effing annoying
And slow motion effect tho 😂
WHEN TEHY HAD MET EACH OTHER FOR LIKE 2 SECONDS AND THEY STILL REMEMBER LIKE 7 SEVEN YEARS LATER
THIS IS SO UNREALISTIC
I hate the alcoholism. Even the young and physicians are proud of binge drinking. 😮
The thing i hate the most is explained with one word: AMNESIA!!!
Like I'm sick and tired of this trope.
🤣🤣🤣classic trick even Indian movies are now obsessed with amnesia
I was gonna comment this!!! You read my mind 😂😂😂😂 Fr they gottta stop with it
Ditto
not only in kdramas, watched one cdrama when right after the female lead got over the amnesia, male lead got amnesia...
@@felics6 bruh 💀🤣
I also hate it when one will obviously see a car coming but instead of moving away, they just stand there waiting for the angel of God to save them (like dude leave the road😂)
Or when someone goes to save them and instead of pushing them off the road, they just hug the person and stand still in front of the car like if you had time to go hug the person you might as well have used it to push them off the road na
@@illitjeaniesliterally true beauty
@@illitjeanies fr like u wanna save somebody actually do smth useful instead of just dying urself and getting the person injured anyway.
😂 so true. Oh, the car is in front of me. I will stand still and wait for the crash 🙈
@@kerstingravel8160 being shocked happens in real life so you might get frozen. But it shouldn't be writtrn in a romantic way where someone handsome will come cause in real life it doesn't happen 99.99%. Maybe 100% false
I hate when the male lead is supposed to be this high-powered, sophisticated CEO but as soon as things turn romantic he acts like a bumbling 12-year-old who has never been kissed. Actually I hate it when any of the male characters act like bumbling 12-year-olds when things get romantic.
Omg yes!!
I hate that ceo thing!
And he has no works except chasing after FL. I mean they must be tired after whole day work but how do you still have time and energy to go out and drinks.
Like, there's a difference between being childish and vulnerable in front of your love and being a downright nonsense is another.
I don't like it when either the ML or FL develops feelings for each other and cheat on their past relationships and then it is justified because their past partners were toxic...
I guess you are talking about destined with you 💀
@@zoeemin9487 it's one of them...but I enjoyed it tho
@@prestigiouspet24 me too it was really good
THISS
@@zoeemin9487no cause I couldn't get rid of that too, they only turned the male lead ex into a cheater so they could justify him emotionally cheating on her with the female lead
Accidental eavesdropping as a way to advance the plot. I now expect that if there's ever a conversation where someone says, "Don't ever, ever repeat this to Ahjumma", Ahjumma will be right outside the door, probably because she left something in the room and had to come back to fetch it.
This video is so accurate like why fight for GIRL'S just KISS each other be happy 😂
Especially true for "True beauty"
That second lead syndrome hits really hard😒
I hate when female characters are physically abusing their male friends or lovers just for the comedic effect. I haven't seen it yet with reversed genders, but I'd hate that too.
Exactly
Like in which dramas???i am new so i dont know much
@@PrabhatKumar-xw6gl From the top of my head the secondary FL either punches or kicks her BF in Cafe Minamdang when he tries to kiss her so their relationship can stay in secret from the ML.
Same in Hometown Cha Cha Cha although not that severe and I love that series, the FL punches the ML trying to hide from the local Ajummas that they are dating but of course it doesn't work.
finally someone said it, i;ve seen it in hotel del luna and its okay to not be okay
@@OlujaDoTokija YES in homecha it felt so annoying and kinda out of character for hyejin cause she's always rational and mature in her decisions
Classic kdramas trope
We hate and love at same time
The falling over so someone can catch them. Sheesh, I’m in my 50s and have fallen over like twice in my entire life. And certainly no one caught me! And the whole I need to go to the hospital when it’s like a paper cut! In Australia you practically need to be missing an arm before you would bother with the hospital. Just stick a bandaid on it you babies!
Ahaha! Yes!
For me most annoying is shaking someone after some accident (in case of some displacement you can cause permanent paralysis) instead of doing CPR. Apparently only doctors in Korea can perform first aid.
Oh my goodness yes! This infuriates me when they do this, I’m like ‘noooooo they might have a neck injury!’
well i would like to add the "Past connections" that's being connected with present where everytime only the female lead dies and the male lead follows her
I hate when people are ALWAYS interrupting the male and female leads when they’re just trying to kiss each other for literally two seconds!!! Love ur channel btw
Things I don't like in k dramas:
1. Male lead with traumatic childhood
2. Male lead family caused FML parents' death
3. Random fall down and Kiss
4. They always met as kids
5. First kiss and confession get disturbed by a random dude
6. That white truck
7. Lovers from past life
8. Always first kiss in ep 8
9. Random break up in ep 14
10. Ending become a tragedy for no reason
The fall and kiss is so unrealistic, how does it happen every time? 😂
i hate that white truck seriously and the fact is now it has become a meme so kdrama directors and writer used that damn white coloured truck to unalive the character
and why there are no other trucks? in the recent show i watch it was marry my husband and the ml gets infront of a white truck to save the fl idk i should be sad but when i saw the truck i started laughing and crying why?? white trucks
7. Not all of them are bad but I still agree because see you in my 19th life was not it
@@olachiokoye506 all of the points are actually nice, but a bit overused imo
im fine with the traumatic childhood thing, but the one drama i watched where the male lead's family caused the female lead's parent's death was in Clean with a Passion for Now and that shit was no fun at all
Random Historical throwback scene/episode about the leads in the joseon dynasty era when it is clearly unnecessary and used to drag the drama
Extraordinary You
@@vaishalis7899 Fr
OMG I hate it so much
A good day to be a dog and more what the hell is that,
Oh My Lord
@@kiconcograce2718 literally the drama I was thinking about when I wrote the comment. I think I skipped at least 2 episodes of AGDTBAD
@@kiconcograce2718okay i do agree vth the unnecessary historical tropes in a drama when it's not completely about their past life....but in "a good day to be a dog" i think that trope was needed...i mean if u have read the original webtoon of the drama, u wud understand better cox the reason she turns into a dog was well explained there... I didn't really liked the drama version tho...but i just felt that trope wss reqd cox it was originally planned for the webtoon.
Adults in their 30s and 40s depicting high school like behavior when it comes to intimacy.
I'm More worried about the actual 30/40 yrs old that loves this stories and actually fantasize about these relationships...
Yes, we need more healthy and supportive friendships in k-drama's!! (not the boy next door who secretly likes her)
I recommend Run On and Search:WWW
i hate it when they dont spill the tea and dont tell them about things and in the end it becomes a misunderstanding
What i hate the most is when there is misunderstanding, the girl happen to listen to a conversation accidentaly and boom she go and don't know the rest and the worst is because she believe everything without any proof and didn't even think that the best solution is to comunicate with your boyfriend , investigate to know the truth but no what she does is to break up without any explaination and cry all the tears of her body
Why do they have to make female leads so problematic in relationships?!
Seriously yr! Two hot girls fighting over a man? I loved extraordinary attorney woo a lil too much for its female friendship tbh lol
yes EAW was indeed a good drama sometime i even rewatch it as the ml is prbly the greenest flag ever and her friends are supportive and the fact her bestie liked the lawyer but when she saw another lawyer liked she was like ok whatever
@@starlight14673 yeahbsolutely! That's what's so awesome about EAW, well rounded healthy characters
EAW was a breath of fresh air, honestly.🤍
and business proposal
i hate that the writers think that romance kdramas should always end with a marriage cause most of the time the leads haven't even been dating for that long, or their career growth can be interupted by that wedding. like not every single couple have to get married immediately OR ever to be together
One thing I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE about dramas is when the female lead is a damsel in distress and cant take care of herself, then cowers behind the male lead and depends on him to protect her. LIKE GROW A FREAKING BACKBONE AND HOLD YOUR HEAD HIGH QUEEN.
I hated k2 for this reason and also because they made ml first love seem like a mistaken emotion just to justify fl and ml relation as the true one
That’s why I love it’s ok not to be okay and hotel del luna
Yeah the FL in Vincenzo .... 🤐🤐 Since the ML entry she started to completely depend on him like she dropped her brain 🧠 😑😑
@@sitharats115 park shin hye should be a poster girl for that
When the FL stumbles into a life-threatening situation so the ML can save her (even though he has been told not to) 🙄😒
Piggy back rides, drink until they are black out drunk, someone has to go the states for 2-5 years with no contact whatsoever, blind dates, finally get together in episode 9 only to break up at the end of episode 9. Everyone is SK knew each other in childhood, angry pushy parents. conversation at shout level in restaurants, overhearing side characters.
I don't like forced love triangle like there is no kdrama where you can't see a second male lead
It’s an established trope but I really would like to see a rich chaebol matriarch/patriarch character that isn’t 1000% supportive of their terrible child/grandchild when they do something terrible.
Like I understand that someone in their position may be likely to protect ‘their own’ and adopt the mindset of special privileges awarded to them due to their wealth and standing. But for once I’d like to see one that has strong enough morals that it wouldn’t fly with them, or they’d enact a form of punishment onto their kids in their own way.
And…you know, not be killed off trying to do the right thing. I also hate when there’s the ‘one’ good rich person they either aren’t rich for long or get killed off just in time to NOT help the main characters.
You think with the popularity of K-Dramas and tropes they’d have some variation of the ‘I’m-up-to-no-good’ outfit an antagonist/villain wears when they’re doing something bad or illegal.
Like at this point anyone I see rocking black clothes (bomber jacket and skinny jeans) head to toe with a black baseball cap, mask, and gloves in any show I’m immediately sus. Yet in universe no one’s batting an eye even when it’s broad daylight or a group.
It makes sense when the villain looks like a delivery person or made any effort to blend in. The suspense and thrill is there but subtle. But I would be on high alert if I saw anyone walking toward me, going in/out of a building, or at my doorstep in that get up.
But the leads tend to either not notice until it’s too late or try ‘what’s going on’ their way out via talking.
frr and you can't tell me there's THAT many loose pipes laying around in korea
like I just imagine a whole gang of guys in black going to the hardware store before doing shady shit
@@Sanaababa Probably right next to the print supply store where they get the tools for their murder/revenge wall.
I hate when the relationship of the second leads are more interesting than the main story but they are only shown in two episodes and are instantly together or have a bad ending. and I hate when the second leads are hotter and cooler and deserve a good ending more than the main leads but get a bad ending and no one to love.
More than friends, boys over flower, start up, true beauty, a love is so beautiful etc....... I just hate that
Girl the duration of your videos are like kpop songs....shorter by the day💀
True fr
I grew up watching Indian serials so I ain't complainin about kdramas
Oh the number of marriage/remarriages, the death and rebirth of the same person in one same lifetime, the number of times they divorce/separate and get back together, the number of accidents and great diseases they survive. I have the one serial I hate the most of all Hindi serials, "Kasam", just to keep up with their Title of the show, the craziness that the plot went through reminds me of "Bade Achhe Lagte Hai s1". Actually in a way, it's almost every Indian serial's plot. Looking back "Yeh Rishta Kya Kehelatha hai : story of Akshara and Naithik" until their kids grew up was a quality family drama 🤌🤌. There was a realistic plot and real-life situation portrays.
They don't make sense and yet we're still watching 😂😂
I hate their school bullying, and also why does the second male lead never end up with the female leads, it is just so annoying 😢
But cliffhangers are important o make us watch the next episode. Honestly after watching so many k dramas I really need the cliffhangers to keep me going as I easily get tired of all the previously mentioned bullshits.
That is what I was trying to say!
I think like all the points made by OP are a result of troupès overdone in kdramas that has resulted in exhaustion and leaves bad taste.
I thought the writer meant cliffhangers at the end of the series especially with no hope of season 2. I'm looking at you vagabond
You are right. Nowadays 16 episodes are feeling like 16 years for me😂 They should shorten it to 10 or 12 episodes. But if it is a comedy kdrama even 20 episodes are not enough for me.
I hate school dramas where the students go crazy bcuz some1 is handsome... Like hello he's just another human
I hate when the FL chooses the male lead who treats her like trash n not the 2nd lead tht is always there 2 wipe her tears
I hate when as soon as some1 is abt to reveal some evidence 2 the police they die... Like stop drawing it out... Geez
Among other things😌
the first one is so real like calm down 😭
1st and 2nd in Extraordinary You
Fr fr
1st one omg yes, it's painfully awkward to watch 😭
And 2nd, litteraly THIS, the reason I can't watch Kdrama. I'mso fed up with this
I hate when the writers design a character so well that is literally the perfect man/woman and then make the lead couple break up just so they can introduce another season of the drama. (Hello Yumi's Cells S2)
I hate it when they kill the most innocent, good heart people for no reason but just for the plot 😂
I hate when the second lead doesnt get a good ending cuz they really do deserve better 😤
The sudden personality flip of a cinnamon role character 4 episode till the finale just to add a murder mystery plot irks me. Especially when there’s little to no build up.
the first one is ALWAYS on the plot that makes it normal for me. i'm like "oh here we go again". or like i already know it's gonna happen before even starting the kdrama.
i hate when they say that the female lead is " ugly" when they are the most beautiful shit amoungst all the other female characters. like WHY
One thing I don't like are the betrayals, like, let my two brothers/two best friends chill and fight together, why the hell would you want to break their perfect bond?
Childhood connections: I HATE THEM. especially when they supposedly "fell" for each othwr and carry those feeling to adulthood. Please be real! What child still pines over a kids they new when yhwy were 7?
I want to see kdramas that has both rich female and male lead or the female is the CEO and the male is a employee
Search:WWW has that. I enjoyed the novelty of it haha!
Crash landing on you had something like that
When the kdrama main character wake up with makeup and a perfect face and hair like its normal 🙄for exemple: Its okay to not be okay
I also hate the wasted food and drinks, the drunk person who throws up is somehow cute (ick), the violence in schools scenarios, the shaking of injured people (geez, never heard of spinal injuries people), the way many women are portrayed as bit#$3, (most of us actually don’t hate other women) the parents often being so so so awful, the trips where they take one little backpack but seem to have so many different outfits, the ‘they have a fever’ and treat it with some random medicine. I love K dramas,but the best ones don’t rely on these tired tropes and overused storylines.
Lol, the shaking of injured people is so real, like someone just got stabbed and they're shaking him, crying and saying "wake up please !" Like CALL AN AMBULANCE, APPLY PRESSURE, DO CPR, ANYTHING IS BETTER THAN THIS
When it’s the 12th episode, everyone’s happy, the leads are finally together and then the white truck shows up thenn female lead gets kdrama induced amnesia
I totally agree with the one about the two male leads fighting over then female lead the they always have more tension and chemistry sometimes I find my self rooting for them to be together 😭
When the character has no development at all .
Like they are dumb till the end .
Where your braincells at ??
Right?? Or I hate it when they just stare at each other like..... forever. Like WTF? Blink or breath or do something damn it. It's just not normal.
When the protagonists claim to be in a relationship without ever exchanging a kiss, just reciting monologues not even looking at each other (and then "breaking up"). I mean, imagine having Moon Sang Min (Wedding impossible) or Choi Minho (The Fabulous) all for yourself during a day and a night and just... stargazing silently! That is something a hot blooded, passionate Greek like me just cannot understand and accept!!!
I hate it when in the drama everyone praising over the looks of male lead but nobody is talking about the beauty of the female lead . Even though they are really pretty
True...I also hate cliffhangers and waiting whole week for only one episode so., I watch them after they ends.
I hate it that most of the dramas show the leads met in childhood itself. Why??? Why everyone have to meet in childhood only
I hate the hierarchies in the K-drama schools and just because they have rich parents they can bully the shit out of everyone!
I personally hate when for some reason so many romance kdramas alway have a kidnapper or murder or stalker that just is there to drag on the show for no reason
I really hate it when the main characters knew each other from childhood, with constant flashbacks, and therefore MUST end up together. Two five-year-olds who are friends do not need to fall in love 20 years later. They can love other people, it's fine.
exactly whats wrong with secretary kim, it didn't make any sense at all.
@@sidratulmuntaha3292
I really didn't see the point of that drama
Fighting over FL but they just start a new chapter of bromance..
Like shown in : True beauty, strong girl do bong soon etc. But it's okay, we enjoyed it anyway..🤣🤣
You know what I mean... 👀👀
It is difficult to watch ongoing dramas! I’ve done it a few times and ended up watching other dramas in between the next episode. Also, the 2nd male lead needs their own female lead who isn’t chosen just because the female lead chose the male lead. Breakups, misunderstandings, conniving characters, those all ruin everything, even though they get corrected at the end.
You know the funny part about all of this we still going to end up watching it anyways
They always have at least one scene where they are eating. But I think the directors believe it is funny when they stuff their mouths with food. That alone is bad. But they make it worse by talking with their mouth full of food, and even before swallowing that mouthful, they stuff some more food in. And continue talking.
I hate when the female lead has no iniciative. I hate when they keep falling into some hot dude arms. I hate when the male lead only personality is being rich, handsome and cold. I hate when all the secondary chacteres are dressed up ugly and in a comic way (so that the leads are the only hot, well dressed, sad ones).
l hate when the female lead forgive so easily like girl he killed your dad or even he broke up with you because of long distance but you still choose to forgive him make it make sence
"killed your dad"? 😭 sorry which kdrama is that i got curious
One fact that is literally so common in k drama is the past or future showing up in their dreams and being connected with it such as my demon
Legend of blue sea
True beauty
A good day to be dog
Extraordinary you etc!😅
Hates it when the leads leave eachother to save eachother. Like, what the fk? Where is the logic, and the cherry on top - they don't share this information to one another.
I hate love triangles that include ex-lovers or bosses when they're not the male lead like backstreet rookie with his girlfriend and her boss and Queen of tears with her ex. I don't know for sure if that's her ex
With Queen of Tears he is NOT her ex .. He is just obsessed with her.
SECOND MALE LEAD SYNDROME
The White Truck accident out of the blue. But white truck did a good job in Lovely runner 😂
The first one was so hateful as In the show heirs ml and the fl separate because of family issues cry, be sad and Then reunite after 2 episodes. For no reason. Nothing changed with the situation, nothing changed in their life, if they separated for some reason that reason had no solution.
2:12 About that cliche 😂, In a Spanish romance book trilogy called "Before December", in the second book "After December", the male lead´s father offers money to the female lead to abandon his son... and she is offended at first. Still, she actually took the money🤣🤣🤣🤣 (it was for help her boyfriend) was a wild move i really appreciate.
I hate all the screaming and arguing 😭 it's so annoying.... You can't watch a single episode without listening to them shouting or beefing at each other
the first one is so true, i hate it when they get in a fight in the 14th episode and then they drop this shit: " 2 years later". Like bro stop doing that, 2 years don't just go by like that. As if 2 years would actually change anything. Bro, make it 2 weeks or something like that, but not 2 years😐
I also hate when the second male lead who clearly wants the girl and would literally DIE for her yet the first male lead always ends up getting the girl in the end!!! 😢😢
a lot of social stuff / work is about alcohol. like - you need a new job - go drink with your CEO, celebrate something - drink more, sad scene - get drunk, a second character nearly r@pd you - that only because he was drunk...like aren there any other social activities in k dramas
I mean ikr they always gotta have a breakup😭
i hate when suddenly someone from the past comes to separate the main leads
i mean it is in alll dramassss ughhhhh!!!
also when the female lead open her hair and she is the hottest girl in korea i mean like what ??!!
And they always show ugly chracters with pimples and specs
0:24 Seo In Guk is such a meme 😂😅😂
Past life trope. And they keep switching between the past and the present. Drives me up the wall, like. Just. Make. It. Linear!!!!
