kdrama things that drive me insane
I'm not gonna lie, this is fully a rant. I know the general logic of all my complaints is that it's all fiction and that everything is inconsequential and things just get figured out anyway, but I need to let this out somewhere. There may be spoilers for Perfect Crown and other dramas in this because watching that drama is primarily how I got riled up enough to make this post. I'll try my best to be vague

Why do you never close the door????! In one of the earlier episodes, Huiju just got stalked to her home and egged, the same night Yi-an visits her !< and after letting him in she walks beside him questioning him instead of CLOSING THE DOOR! Someone stalked you and got past security with the aim to harm you, ma'am! In Friday's episode (May 1st) they walk into Yi-an's home and DON'T CLOSE THE DOOR BEHIND THEM? I know there's guards and everything, but they obviously returned home late, CLOSE THE DOOR. (oh goodness, this one drives me up the wall, I'm very sorry).

Eating two bites and then storming out. This is just the same thing as those annoying American kids in sitcoms who have a bite of toast after their moms prepared a lavish breakfast for them because Taylor picked them up to ride to school on skateboards. Take it with you? You're gonna pay for a meal at a restaurant and leave the food there?

Immediately knowing where to go to rescue the damsel. "A telepathic signal arrived in my brain, it also gave me super speed to get here from across town to save you," is probably how the hero explains how they knew where damsel was and how they got there so fast.

This one is old news, but after the first 3 seconds of being kissed suddenly, CLOSE YOUR EYES AND KISS THEM BACK OR PUSH THEM AWAY🗣😭???? Why do I have to watch a deer in headlights with a fluttery ost in the background? Are these drama people unhinged? If I saw someone being kissed and they react like that I would run to go help them.

Either make the entire head of hair wet, or don't bother with the front strands. It looks weird, stop this.
I probably have a lot more things that drive me up the wall about kdramas but tbh the door thing is clouding my mind. If you have more to add, please make sure you're adding spoiler tags for any drama you mention, someone spoiled a brand new episode for me an hour after it dropped. 🗣Nunchi obseo?!
