Drama Theology ... 101

Juniko wrote: LAW 30 : If you work too hard, your nose will bleed and you will faint (only if first or second male lead is watching)

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.

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.

added -

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.

added and amended -

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.


clothes on hold for now

Law #35 - 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. Package usually comes with family problems.

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

the honeymoon - where the lead couple finally get together usually about episode 10 and everything is hunky dory before the bit split is a must in all romance dramas - this falls under Law #15 - The Time skip

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 ?.
?The lead character will always be starving, but refuse to say so. However, their growling stomach can be heard by all!? (Sleepninja) Which of course leads to law #8!
