2. Conspicuously common accidents
3. Epic soundtracks
4. Trendy themes
5. A hunk of love

-

1. [+574, -5] A secret birth story... memory loss... a rich mother strongly opposed to her childs marriage...

2. [+542, -3] The man is rich and capable of anything, the woman is poor but super pretty

3. [+376, -6] Its easy to please Korean viewers, just thrown in chaebols, secret births, amnesia, deathly diseases, and makjang

4. [+99, -4] American dramas are movie-like in terms of plot line and quality. Japanese dramas always teach you a lesson in every episode. Korean dramas... doctors date, prosecutors date, lawyers date.

5. [+84, -2] Korean dramas are only about one thing and it
s about love and dating ????? doesnt matter what the plot or theme is, the dramas only show dating relationships about chaebol men whose parents oppose their relationships. Japanese dramas are sometimes frustrating in that they try to teach you a life lesson at the end of it but they have a wide variety of themes and the romance never feels out of place.

6. [+58, -2] Theres a lot of killing in American dramas though

7. [+45, -1] Japanese drama characteristics: needlessly serious, always a life lesson at the end, various themes (green tea, restaurants, police, etc), and theres always a manga-like character

8. [+32, -3] American dramas... have a lot of murders, swears, sex, affairs, one night stands, etc...

Pann SM is setting up their own K Pop International School

Pann: SM is apparently making a school

"Hallyu continues to advance... K-Pop International School to be built in Gangnam"

70% foreigners, 30% Koreans

1. [+139, -2] Just make your own country why dont you

2. [+88, -9] Crazed by money...

3. [+80, -2] Im an SM fan but I really wish SM would stop coming up with weird ideas like this ??????? please!!

4. [+32, -4] I remember when Ebola or some other flu was going around, SM brought in sterilizing equipment at their concerts and gave out wet wipes to everyone who came in. Sometimes they handle things better than our own country. I dont care what SM does with their money as long as its not illegal.

5. [+31, -0] SM should make their own planet... SM planet...

6. [+27, -0] I guess they wont send their idols to Hanlim Arts High School anymore

7. [+25, -0] Reminds me of Dream High

8. [+23, -0] Theyre calling it a "school" but its really just another training center for celebrity trainees

9. [+20, -0] Im sure they have plans for it. Why would they invest money into a random school if they had no plans for it? Honestly trainees dont even attend school regularly and head to practice all night anyway, might as well cut down travel times and set up a school separate for them

10. [+17, -0] Its going to be cut throat for the Korean students... since only 30% can get in

11. [+14, -0] ?????? but what do you get out of graduating from a K-Pop international school.... not all of them are going to end up celebrities, obviously ???

12. [+14, -0] I guess the 30% of Koreans will automatically learn foreign languages by assimiliation

13. [+13, -2] This is ridiculous, even fans should be opposed to this. An agency has no business running a school ?? Itd make more sense if it was an after school academy

14. [+13, -0] It only sounds weird because theyre calling it a K-Pop school but there are tons of arts schools like this... although the 70% foreigner rule is a bit weird...

15. [+12, -1] Didnt SM make some country thing before too??? With their own passports and stuff ??? tha twas hilarious
