Other Miscellaneous K-Drama Cliches

Cliches that I couldn't fit in another category:
  1. Time travel is not unusual. It has no set rules or logic and depends on the relationship of the hero and heroine. 
  2. Time travel will end in: heartbreak, lasting love, or lasting love with heartbreak. 
  3. Reincarnation is also a common occurrence, especially for someone who was born in the Joseon era and ends up in modern-day South Korea
  4. Body swapping can happen and will typically lead to love. 
  5. In order for a woman to be mistaken for a man, all she needs to do is wear a man’s hair style and say she’s a man. Even if she’s really pretty, no one will ever guess that she’s a woman. 
  6. There will always be a scene at either a hospital or an airport, or maybe both in the same series. 
  7. Rooftop apartments are also typical and affordable. 
  8. When relaxing in a public bath house, wearing a towel on your head is mandatory, even if your hair isn’t wet. The bath house also will supply your outfit. 
  9. If you go to a spa or bath house, expect some sort of awkward scene to happen. 
  10. Daylight is very unusual in Korea. It can be pitch black at 6 pm or completely bright at 6 am. 
  11. Weather is also unusual. It's not atypical for the hero or  heroine to be stuck out in the rain.
