It’s obvious that nothing is impossible when it comes to the K-Dramas we know and love!
But sometimes some of our favourite series may have a slip up
or seriously exaggerate the portrayal of real life situations.
Yet we enjoy our fandom over these trending dramas,
but how do you MDLers feel or relate when you see these
Hey! That old adage talks about never trusting people with no appetite,
but these petite and slender ladies take this to a whole new level.
They make us wonder whether they are feeding themselves or maybe some giant anacondas inside their system….
Also, how are they burning off those calories?
Are expensive prices enough to make you faint,
from land to furnishings,
even to a single piece of Eye catching apparel.
We've seen these all before. With beautiful, spacious, and well-furnished homes;
From high end clothing, without ever needing to worry about wearing the same item twice,
and all the latest gadgets and modern devices.
Still we do sometimes see characters actually portrayed poor-
from cramped living quarters to sharing clothes and just scraping by.
However here are some depicted poor lead!
We all know that the 38th parallel of Korea
is a HEAVILY guarded border acting as the divide between the north and the south.
News about how defectors paid all their money, assets and with immense struggle
made it through their journey across the border.
Check out these dramas where they might have missed the mark
in the Reality check of crossing over.
Ok, while such circumstances are impossible at the present,
we wish for an easy crossing and unity in the near future.
Amnesia
Wait what are we talking about?
oh yeah! Amnesia
as it’s heavily depicted in many a drama.
If you hit your head in an accident
you'll lose your memory.
If someone else hits you on the head you lose your memory!
But hey, don’t worry, you will remember everything when you hit your head dramatically one more time.
Memory loss in real life is very different
from those dramatized conditions that appear in dramaland.
So don’t go banging any heads of people you know just in case they owe you money
...or maybe you should?
Remember our characters developing amnesia?
Well here are some more of the causes.
Here it is, the white truck of doom.
from many a kdrama scene
We can compare the KDrama’s Truck of Doom to the Reliant Regal in the Mr. Bean series.
Both are constantly involved in an accident.
Traffic accidents can be K-drama cliché.
Why must the truck that’s involved ALWAYS be white?
And if it’s not the white Truck of Doom, it’s the white Car of Doom.
Nowadays action scenes are flawless,
all thanks to the stuntmen and great special effects.
some clever videography brings it all together.
However as perfect as they may be,
there are still some moves that go beyond what a person can do in real life,
like these for example
I don't want to. I really can't!
You're crazy! You've gone mad!
Apparently, In Korean dramas the Rules of the Road do not apply!
You’re allowed to make U-turns anywhere
and there’s never traffic or a single vehicle to obscure your path.
Why not put your car on auto-drive and lean in for a kiss
Here you can execute a car chase, cause some road blocks, and get away with it.
We all went through high school, and experienced the stress and sleepless nights
just so we could pass our subjects and level up.
Yet students from the some school themed dramas seem to have things really easy.
They fail to show the real struggles.
In real life this would just not cut it and their academics would suffer.
That’s right, I'm looking at you Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Joo.
While I thoroughly enjoyed this drama
and believe that it rightfully deserved it’s high ratings...
COME ON! Do you agree or diasgree?
did the casting for a character who should be a seasoned weightlifter
appear petit with minimal muscles? Is it convincing enough?
To make things even more laughable,
Kim Bok Joo and her team were supposed to be hitting the gym EVERY SINGLE DAY!
The production team got around this by
making her wear an oversized sweater the entire time... Hmmm
People are very sensitive nowadays
But they also have a sense of duty to help others in need.
This is even more so the case in a country like South Korea
The legal system in South Korea is quite responsive as well
when it comes to violence in the streets,
thus making it one of the safest countries in the world,
but there is always a curious cat.
Yet in dramaland, it can be quite the opposite. Girls should never be hit
yet we hardly see anybody break off commotions, except the characters themselves of course.
But please be warned, without correct training or certification.
It could be a dangerous situation
and could lead to choking, broken bones and potential death.
what drama scenes make you scratch your head and go EHHH?
