What’s a good drama without a few clichés? Yes, I know they can be overused and lead to viewers losing interest in the show, but there are still some good shots that we love. Below, we list down our most memorable ones in K-drama history!
1- Drive with one hand
As the remarkable lawyer Woo pointed out, a man driving with one hand can pose a whole new type of danger. It must be an unwritten rule, but the moment a man leans back in his car seat and uses one hand to drive with ease, he becomes instantly attractive.
2- Kissing scenes against the wall
We have seen this scene many times in many K-dramas. It’s always thrilling to see one of the characters slowly back away while the other advances until their backs are against the wall. They lock lips as they approach each other before kissing. One of the best wall kissing scenes is in “Melting Me Softly”, be sure to watch this K-drama.
3- Look
In almost every romantic K-drama, there is this scene. Typically, they will be stargazing or watching fireworks. The girl will smile, totally absorbed in the spectacle and she will nonchalantly ask if he finds it beautiful. Instead of looking at the stars/fireworks, he will gaze at her, looking smitten as he responds: ” Yes it’s beautiful. »
4- Protect the girl at all costs
Lee Min Ho, Song Joong Ki and Ji Chang Wook have undoubtedly mastered this shot to perfection. They are the undisputed kings of protecting their partners at all costs. They are ready to face World War III to ensure the security of their partners. Plus, they look so good fighting, how could we ever get tired of this shot? We all remember the famous scene from King Eternal Monarch: “Protect her!” She is the future queen of the Kingdom of Corea. »
5- Kiss scene under the umbrella
A little romance in the rain never hurt anyone and an umbrella is a perfect refuge to get close and lean in for a kiss. As the rain beats down hard, the characters who have feelings for each other come closer under the umbrella. They can’t help but stare at each other’s lips as the air around them turns romantic and suddenly it just seems like they’re in their world. The best kissing scene under an umbrella has to be in “I Am Not a Robot” where the umbrella plays a key role in the plot.
6- The “don’t leave” handshake
K-dramas are notorious for scenes where one character dramatically grabs the other’s wrist, usually in the middle of the street with the supporting actor always involved. There’s also that wrist grab when the male protagonist has made a mistake or is afraid to say his feelings and the heroine is about to leave. For a few seconds, the audience wonders if he’s going to let her go, then he grabs her arm just as she’s about to leave. In most cases, he then hugs her from behind, expressing his desire for her to stay. Lee Min Ho and Park Min Young performed this scene perfectly in “City Hunter”.
7- Finger touch
If you want to understand how electrifying a simple touch of a finger can be, watch a K-drama. This usually happens when two characters who are attracted to each other try to catch the same thing at the same time. Their fingers touch and, as if electrocuted, they withdraw their hands so quickly.
8- Moments of jealousy
Jealousy is indeed a disease, but it can sometimes be beautiful in people in love. Park Seo Joon even made her look sexy in “ What Is Wrong With Secretary Kim ». The way he drank the water and crushed the bottle was effortlessly sexy. There is also the funny jealousy scene in “Descendants Of The Sun” where Min Yoongi is mentioned.
9- Random shower scenes
There is no doubt that anyone will ever be upset by the random shower scenes where the male characters get to show off their incredible muscular bodies as water slowly trickles down their chests. Some shots are so captivating that they should be exploited as much as possible.
10- “Ramyeon Meokgo Gallae”
“Ramyeon Meokgo Gallae” is a well-known phrase to every K-drama fan. Recently, this iconic expression has undergone some changes, but the general idea remains the same. Whether by drinking jujube tea, inviting people to observe butterflies or peonies, the meaning always remains present and understood by all enthusiasts.
11- Breakfast the next morning
A man who knows how to cook is one of the few things we enjoy seeing. It’s always nice to see the male characters making breakfast for their girlfriends the morning after they’ve spent the night. One of our favorite scenes comes from Dali And The Cocky Princee ; they didn’t make it awkward, it was more of a sweet and easy to understand scene.
