Cliches

As a media student, i have finally learn that i should observe television shows, movies and etc closely, VERY CLOSELY. Did you know that every Taiwanese and Korean shows are similar, well the similar ones of course. I mean the style in every Taiwanese show is the same and the style in EVERY Korean show is the same.


TAIWANESE TEEN DRAMAS:

Did you know that 98% of Taiwanese teen dramas have happy ending?

Okay, let me break it down to you.

A girl meets a guy (do know it can be vice versa) accidentally. They don't see eye to eye on anything at all. They fight alot, become friends and fight even more. Its either one have a partner or someone has a crush on one of them and they are so in love with another. After that, something happen and they become single so they start falling for each other but they still fight alot but the "falling for each other" part becomes more obvious (one will always be looking after another). In between, a new "perfect" guy or girl comes in the way and they become jealous. But then, at the end, at the very end, they either get married or you know, get together and become happy.

  • There's always ONE perfect episode in between (where the guy and the girl spend their time together and is happy).

  • The LAST episode, towards the end always have something like, "5 years later" or etc.

KOREAN DRAMAS


Did you know that 9 on a scale of 10 korean dramas someone will definately die?

A guy meets a girl. At first they dont like each other but as they spend more time together, they fall head over heels for each other. There's always one other perfect candidate trying to steal them away from each other. And then towards the end one finds out one has a sickness and distant themselves from their love one. Then the other one does not give up on the love and one day the sick one faints in the arms of the other and the other find out bout the sickness and they spend their last days together and then the one will DIE.

  • At least one person would have a deadly sickness (sometimes it gets cured, alot of times it doesnt).

  • In the first few episodes, they will always show the childhood of the main character.

And then all the audience in front of the television WILL CRY! So people who watches numerous Korean dramas, did you know you're crying at the same thing! Its all the SAME...

A definate is that there is always one thats rich and the other that is not.

Am i right?

P.s Thats why im so reluctant to start on any taiwanese or korean drama. They are so Cliche! I like it better when i dont know whats going to happen.
