The Drama Drinking Game



0 comments
The Drama Drinking Game - guaranteed to get you drunk within the first 30 minutes of any Japanese, Korean or Taiwanese drama. I know this because there seems to be a universal rulebook that drama directors adhere to religiously. Any of the tropes listed in it are sacred and must, MUST make an appearance during the drama's run. If they don't, then you are obviously not filming an Asian drama and should fire your writers.

This game is a brilliant idea (because I came up with it) and I am definitely trying this out with Nancy one day.

Rules are as follows:

You must take a shot of alcohol every time:

1. Your main characters consist of a rich guy/poor girl pairing

2. Someone finds out they have cancer (double the shot if it's one of the main characters)

3. The girl gets given a piggy back ride

4. WRIST-GRAB TIME!!

5. The characters kiss (and by kiss I mean press your lips together with your eyes wide open - kind of like a catatonic goldfish)

6. The main guy is a jackass (double the shot if he's a rich, chaebol jackass)

7. You hear the song "Almost Paradise" (only applicable if you're watching the Korean version of Hana Yori Dango)

8. A scene is undercut by a recurring theme song

9. The actors cry without...actually crying. It's that thing they do where there eyes go wide and red but the tears don't actually leak out and they still manage to look perfect.


What do you mean she's not crying? Her eyes are wide and slightly red, therefore she's crying.

10. A kissing scene is filmed in slo-mo

11. A kissing scene is filmed with a revolving camera

12. Characters "almost" catch one another but end up walking past each other in opposite directions

13. The second-lead is a nice guy who looks out for the protagonist but ends up getting friendzoned big time

14. Lee Min Ho flicks his perfect hair

15. Lee Min Ho wears pants that are too short for his perfect, long legs

16. Lee Min Ho completes a perfectly badass action scene

17. Lee Min Ho does something perfect, basically

18. The characters go to a really trendy coffee shop

19. A girl gets mistaken for a guy and then the guy falls for her thinking that he's homosexual but later on realizes that no, he isn't because she is a girl and then he feels betrayed but not for long because they will kiss and make up and have babies and live happily ever after in average Korean family style.

20. There is an epic makeover in which an ugly girl transforms into a beautiful, leggy model and when the guy sees her, he falls deeply in love (because they're all shallow bastards in dramaland)

21. A character has mummy/daddy problems that prevents them from being with their one true love

22. There is an "oops-I-just-fell-and-landed-on-your-lips" type scenario


I don't even know how they manage to calibrate their falls to land that way.

23. The best friend is a comic character

24. There is a moody, car-driving scene where the character has the wheel in a death grip and doesn't really seem to be paying any attention to the road

25. A symbolic gift (like a ring, toy or necklace) is given

26. The symbolic gift is lost and the characters act like it's the end of the world

27. The main girl is TSTL (Too Stupid To Live)

28. Someone gets hit in the head and ends up with amnesia (which miraculously goes away just before his/her one true love is about to leave them for good)

29. The guy silences the girl by kissing her

30. The girl takes multiple jobs to support herself and ends up collapsing from exhaustion, at which point the guy swoops in and takes her to the hospital where he spends the entire night by her bedside

31. There is a scene near the Namsan Tower or Han River (Korean dramas only)

32. The main characters get trapped in a confined space and their attraction for one another is exacerbated because of this

33. Someone trips and falls but is caught before they hit the ground (double the shot if the couple end up sharing a "moment")

34. And lastly, every time this guy appears in a drama:

 
Seriously, I don't even know who he is but he's like the gum that won't come off the bottom of your shoe
