No self-respecting K-drama featuring an element of romance (most do) is complete without one (or several) of the following elements:
- Running to find shelter from the rain, holding the hand of your crush
- Sharing an umbrella with heavy rain falling. Cue the long gaze into each other's eyes
- Sitting on the swings at a playground next to each other
- Drinking soju in a pop-up food tent
- Grabbing the arm of your love interest and running from a dangerous situation
- A classic one: the back hug. Very often found in scenes when one is doing the cooking
- The piggyback ride. The girl is injured / drunk / tired, so the male protagonist offers her his back
- The bicycle scene. The couple share a bike or one of them is teaching the other to ride one
There are many, many more things to add that give a K-drama (C-Drama, J-Drama) an air of romance.
Stay tuned, K-drama addicts, will be back with more.
