I found out recently that volume three of What's Wrong with Secretary Kim got pushed back by a few weeks, but that doesn't dim my excitement to read the next volume! 🤩🤩🤩

Love love love this romcom and so thankful that @yenpress is printing this manhwa! One of my faves! 🥰

I started watching Kdramas this year and I do a lot of literature analysis in my normal life, so I found it really fun to find the tropes that were unique to this genre/culture that were different than what I find in Hollywood TV/movies and novels. I started with Alchemy of Souls and I was kind of amused looking back, because I never thought the SML had a chance with the FL but if I had known how strong the "they met as children and therefore DESTINY" trope is, I probably would have thought they would get together for sure!

Here are some of the unique tropes I've noticed:

-Leads meet as children and therefore DESTINY (What's Wrong with Secretary Kim, 100 Days My Prince, It's Okay to Not be Okay, Castaway Diva, The King's Affection, Sh**ting Stars, Destined with You, subverted in Alchemy of Souls)

-Reincarnation, which happens a ton but of course for the same reason Western media is littered with Chosen One/Saviour plots (played with in Alchemy of Souls and Extraordinary You, straight in Destined with You, Tale of the Nine Tailed, Moon in the Day, My Demon, The Story of Park's Marriage Contract... so many)

-Guy (usually) buys the girl shoes and then puts them on her. They also usually make a joke about her running away. (Tale of the Nine Tailed, 100 Days My Prince, Extraordinary You, Castaway Diva, King the Land, subverted in The King's Affection and The Forbidden Marriage)

-Guy (usually) gives/brings the girl an umbrella to protect her from the rain. I LOVE THIS TROPE, symbolism for protection and shelter gets me (straight in My Lovely Liar, King the Land, Tale of the Nine Tailed, Extraordinary Attorney Woo, subverted/played with in Alchemy of Souls, Business Proposal, Doom at Your Service, Castaway Diva)

-Not sure if this would count as a trope, but unique to the genre because we don't have formal speech in English and especially not in Canada where I live (we've basically started just going first name with everyone) I love it so much when the main characters use informal terms with each other for the first time. The subtitles don't always translate this well, but I know what the honorifics sound like and I'm all, "She didn't use "Mr." that time it's serious now!!!"

Anyway, are there more? I'm probably not catching them all!

Edit: Definitely some sort of trope around characters finding wild ginseng to solve a problem.

(I've only been watching Korean dramas by the way, I'm sure some of these tropes are shared by other dramas from China and Thailand. I just found the comparison with English language TV interesting.)

Me: I hate clichés.

Author: dark brooding character hates the sweet naïve character, but later falls for them

Me: *screaming* OMG THE DARK BROODING CHARACTER HATES THE SWEET NAIVE CHARACTER, BUT LATER FALLS FOR THEM

Rich guy in an asian drama: I have no interest in love or romance and I think dating is a waste of time.

Plucky ordinary girl: You suck, your family and friends suck, you make me miserable and I’m in love with another guy.

Rich guy:

Secretary Foei and Secretary Kim have a kid!

These two wacky secretaries did it! They became a family!

They had a baby!

My crazy kids are together.

#naughty babe the series #secretary foei x secretary kim #they are in love and have a kid #good for them! #Now where is Poppy?!

It’s wild when a kdrama has an A-Plot that’s a cute and sweet romantic drama and a B-Plot of Murder??? Espionage??? Crime of the century?????

#it’s the fact that both plots have almost nothing to do with each other #they’re in entirely different neighborhoods #kdrama #kdramas #Crash Course in Romance #What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim #if I think of more examples I’ll tag them but it’s wild that it’s happened twice #popular posts
