It started with me making a Mii boyfriend, Kwang Soo, to be in my pictures with me, and then I started recreating famous drama stereotypes with my Mii.

Drama of the Tropes: My Mii Reenactments of Kdrama Stereotypes
Recently, my friends got me addicted to Miitomo. It's a hilarious social media type app where your Mii avatars can make friends with your real life friend's Mii avatars, ask each other questions, change clothes, play games to win more clothes, and then you can take pictures of your Mii. Yeah, you can take pictures of your Mii doing all sorts of things.

Operas are Just Classical Music Kdramas
Or maybe I should give credit where due (since Opera has been around long before Kdramas) and say that Kdramas are the same as operas.
I recently attended a performance of Marriage of Figaro, by Mozart, and was struck by the plot similarities of this opera to Kdramas. This wasn't the first time that I've seen this opera, but the first time I've noticed the similarities. That got me to comparing other opera plots to classic kdrama plots, and what do you know, they were exactly the same too!
I guess this is just proof that these plot devices have been around for hundreds of years and the reason they are still being used it that, as silly as they are, we love/hate them and it makes for a more dramatic story. I mean, what is a kdrama without amnesia, love triangles, birth secrets, cross dressing, and rich chaebols? Similarly, what is an opera without love triangles, rich peers, birth secrets, and girls playing boys (which is pretty much cross dressing, even if the plot of the opera says that is really just a boy who can sing really high... right...)

Lucas, the "Candy" Star Wars Prince
I know many of you have watched and loved Witch's Romance, the Korean remake of My Queen, but we decided to watch My Queen first, to compare. From what I heard they are very similar, so many of you will still be able to relate to this. My Queen (and probably Witch's Romance) is a role reversal story.
