On my mind: K-drama addiction

Ever feel like staying in and taking things easy on a free night? Here is a suggestion: Korean dramas. Korean dramas (K-dramas) are basically Korean-versions of soap operas that last for about 20 episodes. They are extremely popular all throughout Asia, despite the fact that they all basically share the same storyline, with only slight variation from each other.

List of typical plotlines that show up in all K-dramas:
-Rich boy falls in love with a poor girl
-Rich mother-in-law does not approve, so she physically/mentally abuses the poor girl
-A new character (rival, friend) shows up out of nowhere, creates a love triangle
-Car accident, which usually leads to amnesia
-Cancer or any other incurable disease
-Birth secrets revealed, lovers turn out to be long-lost brother and sister
-Happy ending (everyone resolves their problems and become one big happy family)
-Sad ending (someone commits suicide or everyone dies)

Although Korean people know just how ridiculous these Korean dramas are, we somehow end up watching them anyway. So, word of advice - beware, and watch at your own risk. If you are not careful, you can easily become addicted.
