Test: What Drama Are You?

You know those very accurate studies conducted by the Whatever University in the city of Those with Nothing Better to Do? Well, forget them: this is a test created by someone who didn't have anything worse to do: me.
 
Which basically means two things:
1. you are going to take it at your own risk - I hereby decline every responsibility. If you wake up tomorrow next to an actor you've never liked, it's not my fault, but your subconscious.
2. there’s nothing serious about this test. Therefore, it's going to be as revealing of your personality as a hammer blow on your left big toe.
 
Now that things have been clarified, you can happily bask in the pleasure of this… ehm… wonderfully clever test. Since I'm neither a shrink nor am I particularly skillful in computer programming, you'll have to do the maths, sum up the symbols in brackets and view the results at the bottom of the page. Cheating is not an option, and once you have answered the questions, you'll also know why! :P
 
If you haven't given up on me and the test yet, I'm glad to wish you a lot of fun.

1. Prevalence of  - You're a Period Drama

It seems to me that a little clarity is due: it's now almost 2013. You know, a new millennium, I-pod and I-pad, Pluto is not a planet anymore and so forth. In your mind, however, hanbok, kat and obi are very much fashionable. Basically, you're a romantic who dreams of being abducted to a bamboo forest where you'll prove your bravery by striking an apple with an arrow.

No worries, not everything's lost: clearly, Asians have invented the time travel machine and you just need to buy a ticket. Last word of warning: you can take your laptop with you, but I’m afraid it won’t work well.

2. Prevalence of  - You're Beautiful!

    
Of course what I mean is YOU are beautiful, not the drama. But technicalities aside, your not so secret dream is to be the only woman in a men's dorm or the only man in a female college. It may require some camouflage, but you don't need to worry because nobody's going to find out you're not your twin as long as you don't appear on screen side by side. 

Thanks to this clever little deceit, everybody is going to fall in love with you and have an identity crisis.
Your choice will be harder, but that's another drama.

3. Prevalence of  - You're Nobuta!

     

Popularity sure is nice, but nothing beats true friendship. Therefore, please stop putting spiders in your classmates' pencil-case and start looking around. If a weirdo is coming down the stairs moving like a butterfly, he's bound to become your best friend, and there's no way to get rid of him. My humble suggestion is to enjoy your new found friends but to avoid the Sadako* look, which may cause some misunderstandings whether you're popular or not.

 *Sadako is the creepy character of the horror movie The Ring


4. Prevalence of  - You're a City Hunter!

     

You've chosen the hard path, my friend. Perhaps you think that being smart and good at kickboxing will automatically grant you a kiss on the rooftop, but I have to remind you, you'll have to get rid of all the members of parliament, the evil reputed father, the police, the Golden Triangle and the Bermuda one, all computer viruses and the world famine before you are able to relax.

However, if you conquer this one you will get the guy/girl and together ride happily towards the sunset in a nice pair of pink trousers. Until the next season.


5. Prevalence of  - You're Nodame!

     
You have a problem with order and tidiness. Don't deny it: not only I know it because I'm a talented psychologist, but you should finally fish your mobile phone from under that pile of papers and coffee cups.

On the bright side, you're a musical genius, or a musical talent, or a musical at least.

If you manage to find that sheet you put somewhere and run fast enough to reach the concert hall in time for your next performance, I foresee a bright future for you.


6. Prevalence of  - You're Hungry!

     
When I say you're hungry, I mean literally. You have the unique ability to convert whatever happens in your life into something edible. One of the reasons why you're addicted to Asian dramas, is that they eat in almost every episode. Whoever said that love goes through the stomach, had someone like you in mind. Your life is certainly delicious, and if you happen to be as adorable as Chie-chan, I expect to be invited to your next drama dinner party.

I’ll bring dessert. 

7. No prevalence - You’re Hana Kimi!

     

Ok, I know I said this test must not be taken seriously, but you sure like to complicate things, and my life!

You’re a bit confused as to what you want and what you like. This seeming lightheaded-ness of yours makes you a beloved one among friends, who can never argue with you, but would rather agree with whatever you say than face your big, cute, imploring eyes 
      ↓↓↓

I suspect you are well aware of it and know how to use your charm to your advantage.
