I thought about making this post because it's so fricking fabulous but I had no time.

Great job OP

This is such greatness...so much truth

Also I was judging myself for watching too many drama because I recognized almost every show LOL

Though number 19 was because Kim Myungmim had a movie commitment and MBC choosing to not show A New Leaf for a week meant he didn't have time to stay

Number 29 should have been that garbage Temptation

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

Oh no, I want to watch Temptation but do they really go ahead with the affair and called it love? Poor Hasun.. :(

[torontok.livejournal.com]

39-YES TO THIS.And let's throw in them owning all the latest samsung toys while we're at it.
You know what really ruins a drama? Waiting for the kiss scene and it's some eyes wide open, terrified, park Sin Hye foolishness.
Or alternatively any scenes with Myungsoo (I love you bb but you ruined Hyun-Soo's character in SUFBB)

[kjc48.livejournal.com]

I really appreciate that TVN/most cable networks kind tries to be realistic with the clothing thine. In R94 most of the leads had favourite shirts that the wear every other episode.

I started watch lakorns (again) this year and it always amazes me how they can make not kissing sexy and passionate while Korea has people actually touch lips and looking like theirs a gun being held to their heads.

[nekokonneko.livejournal.com]

omg the CGI one

[syimato.livejournal.com]

Disagree at number 4. Jonghyun did great in my opinion.

The rest, SO SO AGREED. Especially when the lead actor/actress have been put with toooooo much suffering and the antagonist did so much but end up got walk away with everything. I always have to chew on my pillow (i watch drama with a pillow for me to punch and hug) feeling so upset especially when the lead actor/actress are so so so so kind that all they do is CRY! UGH!

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

The bad guys always have good endings in kdramas. I just dont understand why tbh. That's why if people that I like ended up playing bad guys, I dont have to be afraid since they most definitely will have a good endings despite how evil they are in the drama..

[windygables.livejournal.com]

#7 with Dr.Stranger made me weep for all the time I wasted on that drama

[mlmello.livejournal.com]

I didn't watch this drama, but everyone was so pissed that I'm kind of curious to know the reason.. hahaha

[kaninasan.livejournal.com]

Yesss at #1, Han gain is so terrible, she almost ruined that drama for me

[twinedays.livejournal.com]

never watched any of her shows but i thought she ought to be decent with the ratings of the show and the award.

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

N°38 for ever and ever


and N°5 lol hobo style and forest girl style actually exist

[jrt131n.livejournal.com]

I don't agree to much with number 5 and 39. Maybe because number 5 I don't think those outfits look bad. And with 39, I don't make much money, but I still got clothes and shoes to do with what I got to do.

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

ia
Mae ri had some really cute outfits

[alleybetwixt.livejournal.com]

My addition #42... when after/during an argument a character grabs the wrist/arm of another character to force them to turn back around or stop when they're trying to leave.

Fuck that noise. It instantly angers me. AND IT'S IN ALMOST EVERY DRAMA EVER. This is why I don't bother to watch anymore. It's especially bad because it's rarely a villain or antagonistic character. It's often portrayed as romantic and something to endear you to the character.

It makes my skin crawl.

[ababobaby.livejournal.com]

I HATE THAT PART

it's become too cliche after reading hundreds of shoujo mangas lmao

[rally-pchan.livejournal.com]

LOL @ #35. What in the world??

#22, I had to look up what makjang meant and I guess it's true, but man I was glued to that drama from beginning to end.

[ababobaby.livejournal.com]

lmfao i read this two days ago or smth?? i still cant get over that cgi
my country's is probably worse though

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

I didn't watch Doctor Stranger but what happened? Everyone seem really ticked off about that one lol

NOTHING annoys me more than poor/unemployed characters who have the latest phones. It was kinda refreshing to see the dad in trot lovers use an old phone. But it also irritated me how Eunji had the same make-up no matter what she was doing. Who the heck wears eyeliner and eyeshadow to bed?! These two are definitely the worst.

Oh and random cafe scenes where no one drinks/eats anything they ordered..................

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

Agreed on the last part. That's why I really like it when actors actually eat their food in dramas -- not just eating rice but all the side dishes as well.

[twinedays.livejournal.com]

#22 - it was getting so ridiculous like could i get through an episode without screaming or crying? i fast forwarded the show just to check out the sangnam gwangbak couple and even that couldnt keep me watching esp after they failed to get approval for marriage the first time.

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

It started out well and then WHAM...and I immediately dropped it

Actually I'm lying because I really disliked the Oldest Sister and the Middle Sister's Husband...horrid

[modernelegance.livejournal.com]

OMG, the Angel Eye acting kids!! I totally stopped watching once they became adults.

[winegums.livejournal.com]

psst ik this is late but Nam Ji Hyun (Angel Eyes child actress) is the lead in a weekend drama called What Happened To My Family, you can check her out there. She got Park Hyung Shik for a leading man too, they are super fucking cute together.

[kamoteatmani.livejournal.com]

Can we also add waiting for that nice kiss scene between the two leads and all you get is someone basically kissing a wall....

e.g a lot of PSH dramas

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

AHAHA this is hilarious.

But to me, what ruin a drama for me is that when the writer trying to be clever and didnt give justice to the character that deserve it the most. You dont make people emotionally invested in one character where they cried TEARS OF BLOOD and robbed them the ending that they deserved. No writer, that kind of ending is not memorable or a masterpiece, it is just stupid. >.>

[seroquels.livejournal.com]

#7 sfm, I only finished it bc of LJS & KSR
#17 and 38 too

[dokyungsoo.livejournal.com]

can you please explain what op meant by #7?

i love love love ljs, but i only watched the first ep, and it looks interesting - should i bother?

[tempestdance.livejournal.com]

why does instiz always edit shit

they left out like five of them including the heirs one:



when the main characters ostracize the audience lololololol

[love-keiko.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHA!! omg yes heirs made me give up on kdramas for a hot minute i was so scarred.

[laeryn.livejournal.com]

37 killed me oh my god.

[claudia-aidualc.livejournal.com]

Lol #35, that hot mess of a dress was actually the actress creation and, God knows why, the production actually let her wear it although they had prepared a dress that fit the historical context.

[boiinks2.livejournal.com]

The makeup ones bother me so much. They don't even try to do natural-looking makeup to at least give the appearance the the actor/actress isn't wearing any. WHY IS THE CHARACTER GOING TO BED WITH EYELINER AS THICK AS MY PINKY FINGER?

Drama kisses are the worst. Thank the lord for dramas that throw caution to the wind and have great kiss scenes. Nothing ruins a good romantic pairing more than terrible wide-eyed,stiff, frozen-lips nonsense.

[yolleh.livejournal.com]

5. When the lead character insists on a ridiculous fashion style

I loathed MSOAN with a burning passion but I would date someone that dressed like JGS's character in a heartbeat. Idk what that says about me though.

Also, I loved all of the shadiness of number 16 and number 1 is the reason I don't watch anything Han Ga In is in.

[consequences.livejournal.com]

the CGI had me nearly spitting out my bagel

[engraved-16.livejournal.com]

LMAO that CG one
but omg i dont know any of these refrences man xD

[mlmello.livejournal.com]

I think #3 has a bad example. she's not bad.
