) Hot, rich, younger men love faat, olderr vulgar womeen.
2) If yyoouu have a best guy friend, he is in love with you. And secretly you are too.
3) You and yourr boyfrieend will aalllwayys playfully chase each other on an ice rink, at the beach, or in the leaves. And
you'll laugh for no reason and your boyfriend will hhit yoou "playfully" but the force of his push will have you flying
across. But it's okay. Cuz you're still laughing like a crazy person.
4) Brothers/cousin/uncles/nephews will always love the same girl
5) You're allowed to make u-tturns wherever you want in Korea. And there is never traffic on the side you want to
u-turn to.
6)There is a super quick payment device that allows you to pay a bill quickly enough for a guy to run immediately
out of a restaurant after his angry girlfriend storms out.
7) Everyone has cancer.
cool If you're sick, all you need is an IV to make you feel lots better.
9) There is vomit and urine all over Seoul at nights.
10) Fighting at a pojangmacha with a random stranger is merely part of a normal night's event.
11) Soju must cost 10 cents. Everyone drinks it everyday all the time, especially the poor people.
12) If you're rich, you're a jerk.
13) If you're poor, you're an angel.
14) Women sleep and wake up with a full set of makeup on.
15) You're not studying hard enough unless you get a nosebleed.
16) If you have a nosebleed, you most definitely have cancer. And you have no money to pay for the surgery that will save your life. And your liver is missing. We're not sure where it went, but it's making your cancer progress faster.
17) If you work in a sool jeep, you have massively curly hair and wear flashy colors from the early 90's.
1 cool You always order orange juice or coffee at a cafe. And you never drink it. EVER.
19) You will always call your boyfriend by his job title. Or simply sunbaenim. Never his name. Never. He doesn't have one.
20) If you TRULY love each other, you must die together in the end. Frozen outside instead of finding shelter like
sane people. Just frozen....
21)You go to America you come back miraculously successful. You go to England you come back amazingly
fashionable. You stay in Korea and the only thing that changes is your hairstyle.
22) And if you come back with no apparent reason then it's because you have cancer.
23) Everyone always goes to the same hospital no matter where they are.
24)If you stand out in the rain for more than five minutes, you'll end up with a fever and vertigo and people will rush
you to the hospital to get some magic IV. And instead of taking an ambulance or driving they'll race you on their
back.
25) Even if you're poor and can't eat, you never wear the same clothes twice.
26) If you play a poor kid, you always have dirt on your face and your hair is always messy.
27) If you're saving someone from being hit from a car, you'll push them out of the way and wait for the car to hit
you instead. Couldn't be more true, they're like a deer in headlights
2 cool Everyone has a long lost sister/brother/twin. Usually one they didn't know about.
29) If you don't want to answer your phone, you can't just turn it off. The battery needs to be taken out.
30) All Korean men can drink hard, smoke long, sing well, and play piano. Usually all at the same time. And at the
same restaurant that has a piano that they let anyone use.
31) If you're in a relationship, you must at one point leave and have your lover tearfully come RIGHT before you
board the plane (vice versa applies as well. You can be the chaser). 60% of the time you see each other, the other
40% you're roaming around in circles and pass eachother about six times, but miraculously never see them.
32) If you're getting off a plane, you're ALWAYS wearing sunglasses. ALWAYS.
33) All guys wear hideous tracksuits zipped up to their neck. Even if all they're doing is jump roping.
34) Girls will always storm off because they're mad and the guy will stoically grab them by the arm and swing them
back- and by magic, not dislocate their shoulders.
35) Guys always look like they're 6 feet tall, even if they're only 5'10. Thank you camera angles.
36) Guys like to wear foundation, eyeliner and sometimes a smudge of lip liner.
37) You always get stuck in an elevator with someone who makes you feel uncomfortable. Even if there are six
different elevators, you'll alwaysbe stuck in the same one with that b*****d you hate (or just fought with).
3 cool Unless you're fabulously rich, your in-laws will always hate you
39) So will your sister-in-law.
40) Your brother-in-law might be pining away for you.
41)There are only 2 ways to kiss. You either press your lips against theirs with your mouth completely shut, and just press away for a very long and uncomfortable time. OR you devour the other person and suck out their soul. In both instances, the world spins.
42) A guy will always get the right size ring, even if you've never held hands.
43) People stare off into space and ponder a lot. They'll just stop in the middle of the road and watch a leaf on a tree
for a good three minutes, and just ponder.
44) You'll get pregnant the first time you have sex.
45) You'll get pregnant if he kisses you on the forehead.
46) Hell - you'll get pregnant if you hold hands.
47) If you overcome great obstacles to be together, one of you must die. Probably due to cancer.
4 cool One korean man can kick the butts of 6 gangstas. Especially when they all stand in a circle and attack the guy
one by one. Then when each of them get their butts OWNED, they wise up and attack the guy at the same time.
Then the guy will get pulverized and bleed out onto thedusty concrete floor of the empty warehouse they've found to
fight in. There will be a fire in a trashcan somewhere. And the girl will have watched this the entire time, screaming
in horror. Instead of calling 911, she'll just watch and cry. But it's okay. Cuz the next day the guy will be fine with a
few random bandages and a few face scars. But never a black eye.
49) It ain't a real fight unless the gangstas fight dirty with a stick or switchblade.
50) If you study in the states (preferably Harvard), you are one of the top students and can speak perfect English
(as assumed by the reactions of those around you). Why the rest of the world OUTSIDE of the TV can't
understand a single word uttered out of your melodramatic mouth is beyond me.
QUOTE
51. You can only drink soju. Cause you're all alcoholics. You drink when you're happy. Or sad. Or suicidal. Or mad,
or jealous. Whenever, wherever. It's the only drink you can have.
52. You must take out your batteries from your phone when you get a call you don't want to pick up. Cause of
course, turning your phone off doesn't make a big of an impact unlike the "I am now... removing the batteries from
my phone..." scene.
53. Nobody ever calls 911. Someone sick? Someone fall over unconscious? Toss them on your back and run to the
hospital! Of course it takes longer than an ambulance, and it's less safe but who cares?! It's more dramatic.
54. Step-parents are pure evil. Especially the step-mother. Creators of Cinderella weren't kidding about evil
step-mothers. They will do everything and anything within their power to ruin your childhood.
55. Love starts and basically never ends for the nice guy. The childhood boy from when you were 5? Yeah, he loves
you. Has loved you and only you, even though you were abroad in another country for 10+ years.
56. If you're the good girl, you almost always never have any visible make up on (or it seems that way, anyway),
while the mean girl in the story will have noticeable makeup. Or make up that's just caked and trashy looking.
57. That one guy you met by total accident keeps bumping into you. And saving you, most likely. It's like he has no
other life besides following you and rescuing you.
58. When you're looking for someone in a hurry, you don't see them pass by you 8 times, and keep missing them.
Even though they're RIGHT behind you.
59. Great Kpop music will play when you have certain *moments*. You know those moments.
60. When you meet someone from a long time ago, or someone you didn't want to meet, or whatever, you will not
approach them but just STARE at them for five full minutes, waiting for the theme song of the drama to start playing
and cut you off with a weird looking look on your face.
61. If you finally get together with your one true love, after all sorts of hardships, that person ends up being
diagnosed with an incurable disease.
62. You're incredibly fit and run almost everywhere. Especially when you're in a hurry.
63. If you're rich, you'll never get the rich guy. The plain, poor girl will catch the attention of the stoic rich guy who's
never had eyes for any girl before in his life. That's the power of... poverty? I mean, LOVE.

64. You run extremely fast; FASTER THAN the BUS ><..
65. Girls always cry with 1 TEAR falling down SLOWLY with romantic music playing.. there is never a normal
cry.. like a let it out cry ><
66. You always marry your childhood friend, or die with your childhood friend ><
QUOTE (jisatsu @ Aug 7 2008, 05:45 AM) *
67. There is always a contract.
QUOTE (soyunee @ Aug 8 2008, 12:34 AM) *
68. The rich mother will hear about the horrible news of her beloved son loving the poor girl she hates so much and out of shock, will faint and automatically have to be taken to the hospital. No one takes her to her room. They must take her to a hospital. Usually the poor mom doesn't faint. She's lived too hard of a life to faint at sissy things like that.
69. The poor guy's sister always gets sold to sool jips by the men who want money from their parents who left them to suffer. The parents only come back when they need money. And they're always wearing sunglasses and scarves.
70. The poor girl never takes the money from the rich mom. No matter how much she needs it. She's been getting help from the rich guy all this freakin time but she'll never take the money from the mom.
71. If you're a teacher, you'll fall in love with the trouble-making student. If you're a student, you'll fall in love with the new teacher that everyone makes fun of.
QUOTE (michilatte @ Aug 8 2008, 01:39 AM) *
72. Your mean stepmother will beat you constantly and lock you in your room.
73. It's perfectly okay to stop the car in the middle of traffic and get out without getting run over. Because Korea has lanes especially for those stop and drop moments.
QUOTE (m i s o l e e. @ Aug 8 2008, 04:56 AM) *
74. It's okay if you have a a problem with your heart/liver/kidney/bone marrow/other-organs-in-your-body and have a 10% chance of finding a donor. There'll always be people who're donating whatever you need to survive -- expecially for you.
75. If you're a guy, you will always be the one running after your love. Because you'd be cruel to let her run after you.
76. Your friend from childhood is pining after you -- but oh no, he's like a brother to you. You meet the new student. Bada bing, love blooms and you'll end up with the new guy. Forget about the childhood friend, the new guy's better looking.
77. Poor people eat ramen daily and the rich people have never heard of it.
78. If you get hit by a car, there are 3 possible outcomes: 1. You lose your memory 2. You're stuck in a coma 3. You die.
79. Your mom remarries. Your stepdad has a son. He's a cold character, but who cares -- he's handsome. You fall in love.
80. Rain will start pouring out of nowhere in a dramatic scene. Then after that someone gets sick. And then lands in the hospital.
81. A good percentage of the rich, hot boys of Korea are stupid. The poor and hardworking girls of Korea are the smart ones.
82. There will always be some kind of misunderstanding. Then arguments in the rain. And you know the rest.
83. If you meet some rude jerk in a foreign country, you're going to meet again when you go back to Korea.
84. You're the girl that's in deep trouble. Your prince (or at first jerk) will somehow be around that street --- even if Korea has plenty of other streets --- and he will rescue you. Even if he could've been at home playing with his dog, he will find his way to you in your time of need and help out. Then he might end up with a couple bruises and cuts (but it's okay, he'll still look amazing).
85. Bad guys will use us girls as bait. Even if we barely have any relation to that guy, they'll kidnap us and call that 'guy' up and tell him they have his 'girl'. Then the guy will come and the girl will finally realize that he cares for her. Boom, he beats the daylights out of the men and sweep the girl away.
86. Karma will always come around. The bad people will be very unfortunate at the end of the movie.
87. Your love rival will be amazingly beautiful. She will be rich. And she most likely is accepted by the guy's mom --- who, of course, loathes you.
88. People will throw their phones at random directions after an angry conversation. Then in the next scene they'll pick up their phone --- no scratches, perfect as new. It's like they buy extra ones just in case they get upset and start throwing phones into the ocean.
89. You know your boyfriend loves you if he leaves his rich household and comes with you to be poor. He doesn't mind. After all, he loves you.
90. If you're an orphan, your inlaws won't accept you. The guy's mom will come find you and offer you money (it's like they have so much that they can just give away). You won't take it. Oh no. Because that'll be betraying your love.
QUOTE (FionAaa @ Aug 8 2008, 09:18 AM) *
91. In order to get the rich and goodlooking guy to love you, you must hate him. Only then will he love you. If you have a crush on him, chances are that he won't ever give you the time of the day.
92. It's okay even if you are ugly and plain. The hot and rich jerk you're stuck with for some reason and you hate will at some point force you to a makeover. Music will start to play when you're done and you'll be magically beautiful even if the only difference to the people outside the TV screen is that your clothes became nicer.
QUOTE (Kittykitt129 @ Aug 8 2008, 11:32 AM) *
93) If the guy finds that he wants to confess his love for you--you've already shown how much you like him, several times--and he calls you, SOMETHING DRAMATIC happens before you get there; either you die, or you fall (in happiness that HE FINALLY LIKES YOU) and get sent to the hospital.
94) While you're in the hospital, because he was just SO WORRIED about you, he strokes your face while you sleep, or kisses you, or SOMETHING romantic. I mean, he can't just come in, stare at you for an hour, talk, and leave...he MUST do something romantic to either your hands or your face.
95) When you cuddle up the first time with your guy friend, they can't tell you like them until you do it OVER and OVER and OVER again, after you break down crying in his arms, even after you give him slight flirty-eyes.
96) Love happens at the hospital. Anyway, the place that's romantic either has to have a memory attached to it (of when you were younger) or it has to be the hospital.
97) The girl can never SIT UP AND BE ABLE TO TALK WHILE IN THE HOSPITAL, even if she only had to get her tonsils removed. She can't sit up--she must be bed-ridden, laying down. And she can't open her eyes wide like she does when she's awake, even when she's fully conscious. They must be closed or 3/4-lidded, and she must talk in a quiet, hushed voice, with a little croak in it.
QUOTE (litoaznbabix91 @ Aug 12 2008, 12:24 AM) *
98. Someone always has to die in the end most of which are causes by cancer or car accidents or (sometime even beaten to death) and the other person stay alone to the end.
99. The guy you hate in the beginning end up being the one you love.
100. It's not a Kdrama if there's no endless tears.
I've passed the limit for quoting... so I'll bold the usernames laugh.gif Thanks for adding on past 100!
itsminjoooo
101) The poor girl always has a killer appetite while the rich guy just stares at her eat. (:
s a t a n g *

104. you always have spring onion in your plastic bag after you come back from the mart

105. Money makes people evil. Especially girls. Guys with money are just all cold-hearted and suave.
106. Even though you and your "lover" are both adults, you only share once in a blue moon, chaste, VERY UNCOMFORTABLE kisses or hugs that are so G rated that Disney is risque. Of COURSE you love each other to death with a passion, but you don't have sex. Ever.
107. Girls that are being harassed always get saved in the nick of time. There will be no real-life issues here (such as rape)! Your love interest is always just around the corner, or his rival, to save you from anything.
110. The Father in law is always nicer than the mother in law.
111. The couple that falls in low in the end:
The male is always short tempered
The female can win the battle of an argument
The argument always ends happily
112. Usually the male and female have similar characteristics as in personality.
113. Someone has to be an orphan/adopted/gets abandoned

118. The guy will donate his organ to girl and dies/becomes handicapped/etc.
119. The girl will trip and the guy magically kisses her while catching (don't we all just LOVE gravity)
120. Even after the leading male (who is most likely hot) has ran 5 miles, climbed a mountain, battled a gorilla-dog mutant, chased down a random robber, and saved the lead female from 50 rapists (who are ALWAYS fat, balding, and going through a midlife crisis), he will still look as perfect and pristine as ever. No sweat, nothing.
121. Ever wondered why the attractive guy always saves the girl from kidnappers/rapists in the nick of time? It's actually because he (despite his good looks) doesn't have much of a life besides stalking the main female character. In fact, it's not even only the female lead. As long as a girl is in trouble (raping, kidnapping, or mugging prefered), the hot guy will be there to save the day. Heck, we should all prance around in short skirts in hopes of attracting "bad guys", and therefore the hot ones.
122. The girl would usually be younger or older than the guy.. but mostly younger...
124. Korean ppl slap each other A LOT
125. And whose ever face that gets slapped, will never get swollen or turn red
126. The world spins A LOT
127. Your lover will turn out to be your brother/sister/cousin/etc. eventhough you have no resemblance whatsoever
128. Korean gangsters don't fight with guns cuz they're just cool like that v.v
129. Even after a huge fight with 10 guys, the next day you'll have a few cuts and a bandaid on your face
130. Romantic scenes automatically start playing a theme song from somewhere. And there are no speakers.
131. Girls who are poor will always hate the rich, cocky guy because even if they need money, they'll still hate them because they're rich.
132. They'll never call their boyfriends by their names. It'll always be their job title or oppa, if they're older.
133. Boys will always bug their partner to death to the point where the girl hates him. But it's okay. They still fall in love.
134. The leading man will ALWAYS know karate style moves and know how to fight incase the girl gets into trouble.
135. Accidental kisses are due to gravity
136. Real kisses causes the world to revolve around them
137. Your best friend will turn his back on you when you like the other guy and turn evil in order to make you suffer.
123. rich obnoxious guys go for poor hard working girls rather than rich beautiful girls
