LAW 43: HOSPITAL SCENES!! Someone always ends up going to the hospital for the smallest things, like a cough. But, whether it's serious or not, there has to be a hospital scene in every drama.


amended and added!

Law #40 - The paper cut clause
?Someone always ends up going to the hospital for the smallest things, like a cough.?(Doremeduck) No person or persons shall have the necessary items to treat any injury/illness at home. This will lead to the need to either visit a pharmacy for medicine or more likely go to the hospital for treatment. One cannot underestimate the fatality rates of paper cuts!

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.


You know that this is hilarious, doncha?

Law #47 - pj?s? what is the meaning of this?
?Everybody sleeps, and more importantly wakes up fully dressed? (VioletSakura)
This is most likely due to the fact that they have to stomp their clothes in a bucket to clean them so they want to wear them as long as possible.

Sleepninja wrote: haha I guess this is rule 52


RULE 52: If you dine at a restaurant, you will always encounter the one you love. He/she will be eating with someone else and you will be miserably watching. Why are you miserably watching them? Because you have been strategically placed at a table across from them with a clear view of their actions.


added! Thanks

Mareina wrote: There is also the counterpart to the near miss: the impossible find.
At some point, somebody can't be found and people go searching. If everybody goes to search random places, they usually don't find the person (if a person is found, then only by the leads or 2nd leads - but it is important that everybody runs around searching) If the lead does the searching alone he/she usually does find the person. Sometimes the lead is capable of finding the person because he/she knows him/her very well (e.g. You're beautiful) but sometimes they just find him/her because they run around the city long enough (there was even a jdrama where the female lead demanded the male lead to find her in the city, but i can't recall which drama it was. he found her 2times anyway). Well, apparently finding a single person in cities like Tokyo or Seoul while searching on foot is not that difficult.

And if somebody drags you by the arm, you totally have no chance to break away. Because that is absolutely impossible, even if you are a police officer, body guard or whatever strong woman.

If you meet somebody, you can't just talk to the person. First, you have to find a nice place to talk (why bother? if it's important, somebody will just happen to overhear it anyway - but that's a slightly different topic). Like, you have to at least drink a cup of coffee or you can't have a conversation. But it's totally okay to just leave the unfinished drink or untouched meal and walk away if the person makes you angry.



added thanks
Law # 50 - The Impossible Find
Despite the law of averages, whenever needed someone will be able to find you on foot, in immense crowds, or secreted away in a solitary location.

I actually did faint once while I was in Japan (but no hot male appeared out of nowhere >.<) and was brought to the hospital. The doctor said he doesn't know what's wrong but gave me 5 kinds of pills anyway.

Here's another law: Even if a person stayed in the US for several years, his/her English will suck. Still, everybody will be amazed by his/her excellect english speaking ability.
(By the way, what's up with K2H anyway, where one person talks in english, the other responds in korean and vice versa, but they both understand each other perfectly)
