My Girl, Sunshine Angel, Mary stayed out all night, Why why love, Atashinchi no Danshii...
Some parents are really irresponsible... and isn't usury illegal?
There was one drama (that I didn't finish I guess), probably Taiwanese one, with a second lead being a positive, understanding loan shark boss... that was something original, was it Easy Fortune Happy Life? I think so...
added thanks!
Law # 52 - PARENTS ARE EVIL!

UPDATED FULL LIST!
I tried to update this as follows - Law # - Title of Law - Description of Law
Law #1 - Near Miss - like two ships -wearing blinders!
The two main leads shall be at the same place at the same time, but will not see each other.
Law #2 - Piggy Back - limo, car, bike? Nah! Baby got BACK!

One character will be grabbed from behind and squeezed.
Law #4 - 24 hour Drama bug! - Get sick, faint, get better! All before the world spins
once!
Someone will get sick, and/or faint, have to be nursed back to health or hospitalized and will be completely better the next day. The cause of this will be “being in the rain for about 3 minutes or Rumors can make a person go sick with fever, even make them FAINT! (Violetsakura)
Law #5 - Don't call me FRIEND! I'm smart, warm, AND treat you nice. THAT's why we can't date?
The best friend, or second romantic interest will be warm, understanding, accepted etc. But as we all know nice guys finish last, so they never get the girl/guy.
Law #6 - The Business of Marriage - it's all in the fine print! (arranged by you or your parents)
Who marries for love anyway? A marriage will be set up by your parents, agreed to by the two main leads through a contract, or forced upon you by circumstances including but not limited to pregnancy, and deathbed promise to elder relation.
Law #7 - Narcolepsy - Consciousness? Anybody can do it when they're awake!
“One must fall asleep at an inappropriate time or place. Once asleep, a second party must be present, at which point they perform one or more of the following acts: Confess a secret, Give the first party a kiss, Cover the first party with a blanket or make their sleeping arrangements more comfortable in some way
At no point must the sleeping party awake, although soft mumbling or slight stirring is acceptable.” (Kawaikochan)
Law #8 - Eat with RELISH! Wherever, whenever, and as much as possible!
The eating of food in Drama must be frequent and with great gusto. Sounds of mouthwatering delight must be present. The eating of food should be always on the minds of the men and women. Any foods are acceptable, but special preference will be given to Ramen, and kimchi.
Law #9 - The Soju will flow like WATER! (and someone will drown)
EVERYONE drinks - to excess. For any reason, happy, sad etc. you must imbibe alcohol. This unfortunately leads to problems with LAWs - 2, 6, 7, 10 etc.
Law #10 - The porcelain GOD! Pay homage as you see fit.
Whether you are puking from overdoing law 9, or constipated from overdoing law 8, we get to see the results in the most sanctified of rooms - the bathroom!
Law #11 - Mile high? Nah we don't even need to leave the airport!
Someone is always flying in, flying out, flying away. Therefore there must always be a scene in an airport.
Law #12 - Don't walk away from me! -what kinds of shoes was she wearing?!
Girls’ shoes, especially high heels, will be made from a special material that allows them to walk faster than men can run. “The girl left walking but he has to run and run to catch up, and sometimes misses her.” (goldenseal50)

Despite advances in technology, one can not simply turn off a phone. You have to physically remove the battery.
Law #15 - The Time skip - It's just a jump left... and then a step to the right ..."
The main couple have problems, split, and then years later BAM - hit with happily ever after.
Or The "rival" lead goes off for X years - WITH NO CONTACT - and is somehow surprised that you are NOT waiting by the door with his/her slippers? I mean it's not like there is anyway to communicate over great distances through the air or anything..... oh wait that would be a phone right? Well it's not like you can just write them a quick note and say your still alive...nope wrong again!
Law #16 - Slap Attack - "You don't know who you messing with man, I slap people for fun." (Chris Tucker)
“Someone must be slapped. Sometimes the love rival but also the child. The child must be screamed at and hit upside the head. Or the bad daughter must be beaten! The bad son womped on the back or head.”(Jeaniessi) This is not limited to times of anger either, ANY emotion will bring on the slap attack.
Law #17 - Let there be SONG! - Karaoke for all!
At some point someone MUST go to a karaoke place to sing. This becomes the setting for many other laws listed here.
Law #18 - I only hate you because I love you !

Law #20 - I call it the superman! - Clark Kent is such a dork! (removes glasses) OMG! superman is HOT!
“This is usually brought about by giving a ridiculous haircut to an actor/actress with which any attractiveness of their face is automatically hidden. A new hair do or change of clothes gives everyone's impressions a complete 180 turn.” (Mary-x) This is also brought on by the removal of glasses as well.
Law #21 - The NECKLACE - My love is like a chain around your throat... that's not creepy at all!
“The ultimate token of love a necklace shall be. Your beloved one will put it on you and then possibly backhug you. You shall lost it (in anger) and then retrieve it(from mud or river)” (Elisabetta). The necklace MAY be substituted for another piece of jewelry (is. Cell phone strap, ring etc), however that too must also be lost/thrown away, and then found.
Law #22 - Family is optional! 2 parents? sorry no good. 1 parent? we'll work with it. Orphan? JACKPOT!
“Mothers are usually the most dispensable ones, in Korea they die after giving birth and in Japan they abandon the family. If you're an orphan, so much the better, you can be adopted and be tyrannized all your life by your evil step sister who hates you for no reason.” (amrita828) Also accepted is that you don’t know who your REAL family is, and later find out you are an heiress, a princess, or the male equivalent there of.

“"Ugly" girls/boys/other are never ugly. In fact nobody is ever ugly. In dramaland only beauty exists. (Szasha) “A perfectly normal even beautiful girl will somehow be seen as an ugly one... and then magically (without, of course, changing anything, or maybe having an operation on everybody's eyes in the drama) will be loved by 2 or more male characters of the drama!” (Violetsakura)
Law #25 - Sleep yoga!
“The lead will always have strange sleeping habits/positions” (Sleepninja)
Law #26 - We are completely alone - let’s play cards!
“Hospital bed? Car? Boatless Island? countryside hotel ? We will find a way to sleep together...without actually sleeping together !” (Juniko) Please note that this only applies to people is some form of a relationship. If two complete strangers end up in a similar situation then a one night stand will occur, most likely leading to Laws 6, 11, 12, 15 at a minimum.
Law #27 - The nose bleed
Please note culturally sensitive Law- “If you work too hard, your nose will bleed and you will faint (only if first or second male lead is watching)” (Juniko)

“There will always be at least one shower scene, mostly around the time where the male (face it people.. it's always the male) lead character is being troubled or something.” (Ashu) Also, said shower will not allow privacy, and will in fact in many cases require being walked in on by a member of the opposite sex.

I mean, really... who needs simple explanation, if you can make it complicated misunderstanding to separate you from your loved one for like 10 episodes... you of all people know, that whatever happens, you're going to end up together, right?” (Violetsakura) Or the other extreme, never explain ANYTHING, because of course they are physic and know exactly what you mean even if other people are telling them other things.
Law #32 - Conflict is an aphrodisiac
The “female/male lead shall hate each other - she is always stubborn but kind hearted with Cinderella syndrome. And the male is always hot tempered somewhat unreasonable, arrogant and materialistic :) but is in fact warm and sweet and grows to love the female lead.”

Law #38 - Don’t admit to it at first …. Then ….

Even though you were in no way, shape, or form involved - "Something your parents did years ago makes me angry with you now, relationship off." (soveryunpretty)
Law #40 - The paper cut clause

Law #47 - pj’s? what is the meaning of this?
