Added, amended, and made culturally defined-

Law 27 - The nose bleed
?If you work too hard, your nose will bleed and you will faint (only if first or second male lead is watching)? (Juniko) Please note however that this Law applies solely to Korean drama, In Japanese drama the aforementioned nosebleed will not lead to fainting but possibly to physical attack due to being lustful.

added! Thanks

Law 28 - The caveman clause - not restricted to men.
No one shall be simply ASKED to go somewhere. Instead they must be grabbed by the hand and DRAGGED there.

How about these?

-All clothes must look like they're brand new, and never wear anything twice.
-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.
-In comedies the guy drags the main girl by her wrist angrily -at least- once.

Law 29 - Cleanliness and all that
?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?


Added and expanded!
Law 31 - Are we speaking the same language?
?Never tell the truth about why you do things the way you do them... 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.

Think this thread is genius! Pooling in all cliches :)
