If you'd like a primer on tropes, check out the #DramaTropeChallenge, which @devotedtodrama.bsky.social put together and many of us took part in earlier in the year. Not all tropes are listed, but it gives you an idea of some common ones.

Glad you are enjoying your first #kdrama! Enjoy!

Day 25 #FirstSnow

In #MelodyofGoldenAge - starring Ding Yuxi & Ancy Deng - there was both a (very dramatic!) breakup scene in the snow ❄️ &, at a later time, a kiss & makeup scene in the snow ❄️ (see reply post for the kiss & makeup scene 😘)

Day 25: #FirstSnow has to be #ForecastingLoveAndWeather She predicted it & was ready for it: love.

Video: 🚨 Watch the full #kdrama if you want to completely understand this scene, because it alludes to an earlier one which gives it more meaning.

Final Day of Trope Challenge! What are your favourite #kdrama #cdrama #jdrama #bldrama tropes? #dramatropechallenge

Day 25: So many dramas feature those magical first flakes of snow. I am going to pick Let Free the Curse of Taekwondo ❤️

ps. I cannot believe that this challenge is over 😢

Last day of the #dramatropechallenge is first snow and I have to finish this challenge up with one of my comfort dramas. I've rewatched it many times and it hits so good every time. A confession in the snow...yes please! Tropes are popular for a reason, they work! ❤️❄️ #FirstLoveHatsukoi #jdrama

#DramaTropeChallenge

No es mi tropo favorito, pero tengo que reconocer que #CrashLandingOnYou lo hizo bien, dos veces.

Aquí su (segunda) primera nevada, en Seoul.

Día 25: Primera nevada
#DramaTropeChallenge

Un tropo tan común que lo aprendí en coreano: 첫눈

No es mi tropo favorito, pero tengo que reconocer que #CrashLandingOnYou lo hizo bien, dos veces.

Aquí, su primera nevada en Pyongyang.

Day 25 #FirstSnow

My first "first snow" was #CrashLandingOnYou, still in my memory as very beautiful & magical ❄️
2 scenes are lovely with great OST, but my favourite is their reunion in snow. Other in reply👇

D25: First snow

One of the most heartbreaking scene in Legend of Zang Hai #cdrama happens during the first snow.

And don't forget the last snow either, in the classic #kmovie April Snow it has a significant role of fate.

Day 24: 🖤 A favorite #FallingAsleep segment is the montage of #YuNabi & #ParkJaeEon sleeping. It shows they are much more comfortable with each other than one might think & so much about them as people: trusting snugglers, but probably also tired for reasons! 😘😴
#DramaTropeChallenge #kdrama #kdramas

Day 23: I 🖤 #FriendsToLovers when it's done right. #FirstFrost is my pick, because #SangYan was a true friend to #WenYifan, who was there for her in her darkest moments & the light—even at a distance—& honoured her wishes if she didn't want to be more. #cdrama #cdramas #DramaTropeChallenge
fmv: 🚨

Reposting in the hopes that I'll be able to get around to doing this #dramatropechallenge and also to watching this #kdrama #Encounter.🤔

If, unlike me, you like #SerialKillers, I recommend watching the #KoreanFilm #MemoirOfAMurderer, which is fascinating in that it involves a #SerialKiller who is losing his memory. I had to ffwd some scenes due to violence, but imagine crime watchers would love it. #DramaTropeChallenge

#dramatropechallenge

Day 24 #FallingAsleep

In #MyBoss the ML is too embarrassed to say why he wants the FL to keep cooking meals he never eats: he suffers from insomnia & can only fall asleep when she sings a lullaby, which she usually does by habit when cooking

#cdrama

Also, #HuhJoonHo is so scary that I had to stop watching the first time around. He's a master actor in every role I have seen him in. #ComeAndHugMe #DramaTropeChallenge

Also shouting out to #Somebody, which had some problems & was too graphic but had 1 of the most satisfying endings. #kdrama

New Challenge! What are your favourite #kdrama #cdrama #jdrama #bldrama tropes? #dramatropechallenge

Day 24: Falling Asleep: I love the scene in Encounter when Song Hye Kyo's character falls asleep on Park Bo Gum's character's shoulder... sigh #encounter

Day 24: Falling asleep - Nothing is better than a shoulder to lean on when you are tired and weary. A safe place to rest your head. A moment of peace away from the burdens of the busy world.

#dramatropechallenge #cdrama #kdrama

Una chica dormida apoya su cabeza en el hombro de un chico en un bus.

Un chico y una chica están acostados y tomados de mano. Se miran intensamente.

Mención honorable al #kdrama serie #Reply1988 por las escenas de quedarse dormidos que revelan tantos.

#DramaTropeChallenge

Día 24: Quedarse dormido

La escena en #CoffeePrince cuando Eun-chan se queda dormido en la playa es inolvidable.

Day 24 #FallingAsleep

Symbol for trust, feeling home in presence of loved one, medium to show Intimacy + subconscious wishes.

Loved in #ThePrisonerOfBeauty that ML&FL equally let go & fell asleep

#dramatropechallenge

D24: Falling asleep

I will twist this trope and recommend
Move to Heaven #kdrama (falling asleep forever)
and
The Beauty Inside #kmovie (falling asleep and waking up in a new body every day).

Both are very unique stories.

Another perfect fit for our
Day 23 of #dramatropechallenge
#FriendsToLovers
It's for free in #Pride month and worth every watch !

I will always be a #FriendsToLoversDefender. I love watching a relationship bloom. When glances get longer and it's clear feelings are starting to change. That tension of can they or will they take the next step?

"I like you more today than I did yesterday.”

Day 13 #FriendsToLovers

I’m halfway through #ShopaholicLouis - having been inspired by Rei’s recent posts about it 🙂

She’s a spirited country lass & he’s a chaebol amnesiac who she saves from the street with tastes beyond their budget! 😊

Mención especial a mi versión favorita del tropo amigos-a-amantes: “éramos amigos cuando pensaba que tú fueras otro hombre, pero entonces me enamoré.” De estes, ninguno no puede ganarle a Coffee Prince.

Día 23: Amigos-a-amantes

Recién vi #HospitalPlaylist y es uno de los mejores de este tropo que jamás haya visto. Creo que es porque el #kdrama se centra en la amistad de los cinco doctores. Cuando dos de ellos se enamoran, es un bonus.
