Create your own Asian drama

[lesbiassparrow]

In honor of the cheesefest that is Stairway to Heaven, I bring you this, an easy way to create your own drama! Complete with cliches and stepsibling love. And angsty moments galore.

ETA: WTF? Even for the magic skience of dramas and Bollywood, saying that a car accident caused eye cancer is surely pushing it a bit. And yet here I am still watching the thing. They must send crack through the screen or something.

I will reply properly later but they do have a drama where the guy becomes a priest ;)

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

Really? I guess it's only a natural progression from the many scenes set in churches...

[ficchica.livejournal.com]

Heh.

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

I am amused by how many people want the hero to express his angst through violent measures...

Obviously I can never start to watch these things or they will eat my life, for they shamelessly cater to fictional kinks I don't want to admit I have. Sigh!

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

There is a dorama for virtually every imaginable kink.

And yes, they will eat you alive, but you'll be happy to be eaten alive.

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

They're great. Especially if you are a fan of the melodrama and the angst. And pretty people. And who isn't?

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

Voted. So when do I get my psychic librarian/mobster romance who get and HEA after much angsting?

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

Given the way kdramas seem to go for every conceivable variation on these themes, I'd say it can't be too long...

I see bits and pieces of these because my mom is addicted to K-drama and they're crazy enough that I'm tempted to start watching them on my own.

By the by, Crazy Eyes is in Love Story in Harvard and I'm disappointed to say that she acts like a normal person in that. Although it does have its crazy moments: the hero originally mistakes her for a hooker and after he finds out she's really a med student, he falls in love while helping her spongebathe an aids patient. *music swells* That is possibly one of the most awkward romantic moments I've ever seen.

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure what I am more appalled by, that crazy eyes was a choice and not just really bad acting or that someone thought that a sponge bath of a dying person was just perfect for a romantic scene...

Come to the dark side and start watching them. Even when they're dreadful, they're still strangely addictive.

True, wangsty dramas would be vastly superior to summer reality shows. I've watched part of My Name is Kim Sam Soon already and Spring Waltz doesn't look too bad either.

And the romantic scene in Love Story in Harvard is so bad. The main character is practically in the shower with the aids patient, holding him up and yet he went from squicked out to swoony in a hysterically short period of time.

I forgot to ask, is there really one with a psychic librarian? That would just seal the deal.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yes there is. Called "The Devil." it's not a romance drama though.

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

As dangermousie said there is one with a psychic librarian, which was being subbed, but unfortunately they seem to have paused at episode 7. It's quite good but more of a mystery, not in who the killer is, but in why he's doing the killing. And he's quite a good person too and there is a connection between him and the librarian. And a love triangle involving the cop who is chasing him!

Oh man, a lot of these amuse me a ton but if I was to watch them in a drama, it'd drive me plain nuts. >_< I guess I'm too selective when it comes to kdrama. I like my drama ...dramaless? :P

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

I am very easy to please: pretty people and melodrama make me happy. Well, often they go waaayy over the top, but I still keep watching!

[calixa.livejournal.com]

How can I choose?!?!

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

Hee! I am amused by how many people think the hero's reaction to angst should be violent!

[calixa.livejournal.com]

I think for some of these, multiple choices should be allowed. There are so many reasons why my male lead and female lead are kept apart. The angst has to last 16 (sometimes 24) episodes!!

I myself am partial to him posing against the moonlight... but violence works too.

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

I think for some of these, multiple choices should be allowed.

If I'd thought more about it, I would have done this. And probably added a section on what the heroine does when she is angsting. Though I think for kdramas running along streets shouting 'oppa' very loudly would win that round.
