Cliches: Lifestyles of the Rich and the Poor

More often than not, one of the couple will be rich, so there is a culture clash because of the differing backgrounds. Or, there will be prejudices because of them. Here's some of the cliches:
  1. The rich never worry about money and have an endless supply of it to spend. They don’t usually carry cash and their credit cards are typically black (an unlimited credit line). 
  2. All rich people will have astronomically huge houses with a butler and maid staff. The maids are required to wear a short black dress with knee-highs, a frilly apron, and an ugly hat. 
  3. When rich, you will always eat on opposite sides of your very long table, even if it’s just you and another person. 
  4. Rich people often buy out an entire restaurant on a whim. They might also purchase the entire selection of clothes in a store or the entire day’s worth of food at a food establishment. 
  5. The rich always have a personal jet that can take them anywhere at a moment’s notice. It’s supersonically fast, too, so that in just a few hours, it can take them halfway across the world. 
  6. Whatever company the rich person is from, it is one of the most influential in all of Korea and at some point in the drama it will bring international recognition for Korea. 
  7. Poor people always live in crumbling buildings at some point. 
  8. Practically all chaebol heirs have some sort of phobia. 
  9. Rich parents like to beat their children in the elevators of their hotel/business. Typically this will be with someone’s secretary in the elevator with them. 
  10. Secretaries are incredibly loyal to the person they support, even if s/he is doing something illegal. But they will tell on you if your parent asks what you are up to. 
  11. If you are dating a chairwoman’s son, she will do the following in this order: try to ruin your life, try to ruin your friends’ and family’s lives, and try to ruin her son’s life.
