Old korean dramas had scenes with them taking out the battery of the cell because it was faster to turn off the phone that way. Instead of pushing the "end or on/off" button for 3 seconds, they could just take out the battery in 1 second.

Nowadays, the phones have a shell covering the battery so they don't do that anymore.

it's a filipino term which describes your facial expression, as if you don't believe what somebody is saying, your lips are somewhat "curled" your eyebrows are above their usual level, and your forehead is creased.


ohh i see.....:OOOOO

i can see it in your face...hehe.....

OH freak I'm FILIPINO and I have never heard of the Term "NGIBIT" is it even a word... I'll look it up in the Tagalog dictionary....???

I figured those in this thread will love this list especially since it tends to incorporate all the annoying habits discussed earlier. - Enjoy

50 things you can learn from a Korean drama

1) Hot, rich, younger men love fat, older vulgar women.
2) If you have a best guy friend, he is in love with you. And secretly you are too.
3) You and your boyfriend will always playfully chase each other on an ice rink, at the beach, or in the leaves. And you'll laugh for no reason and your boyfriend will hit you "playfully" but the force of his push will have you flying across the room. But it's okay. Cuz you're still laughing like a crazy person.
4) Brothers/cousin/uncles/nephews will always love the same girl.
5) You're allowed to make U-turns wherever you want in Korea. And there is never traffic on the side you want to u turn to.
6) There is a super quick payment device that allows you to pay a bill quickly enough for a guy to run immediately out of a restaurant after his angry girlfriend storms out.
7) Everyone has cancer.
8.) If you're sick, all you need is an IV to make you feel lots better.
9) There is vomit and urine all over Seoul at nights.
10) Fighting at a pojangmacha with a random stranger is merely part of a normal night's event.
11) Soju must cost 10 cents. Everyone drinks it everyday all the time, especially the poor people.
12) If you're rich, you're a jerk.
13) If you're poor, you're an angel.
14) Women sleep and wake up with a full set of makeup on.
15) You're not studying hard enough unless you get a nosebleed.
16) If you have a nosebleed, you most definitely have cancer. And you have no money to pay for the surgery that will save your life. And your liver is missing. We're not sure where it went, but it's making your cancer progress faster.
17) If you work in a sool jeep, you have massively curly hair and wear flashy colors from the early 90's.
18.) You always order orange juice or coffee at a cafe. And you never drink it. EVER.
19) You will always call your boyfriend by his job title. Or simply sunbaenim. Never his name. Never. He doesn't have one.
20) If you TRULY love each other, you must die together in the end. Frozen outside instead of finding shelter like sane people. Just frozen....
21) You go to America you come back miraculously successful. You go to England you come back amazingly fashionable. You stay in Korea the only thing that changes is your hairstyle.
22) And if you come back with no apparent reason then it's because you have cancer.
23) Everyone always goes to the same hospital no matter where they are.
24) If you stand out in the rain for more than five minutes, you'll end up with a fever and vertigo and people will rush you to the hospital to get some magic IV. And instead of taking an ambulance or driving they'll race you on their back.
25) Even if you're poor and can't eat, you never wear the same clothes twice.
26) If you play a poor kid, you always have dirt on your face and your hair is always messy.
27) If you're saving someone from being hit from a car, you'll push them out of the way and wait for the car to hit you instead. Big Smile Couldn’t be more true, they’re like a deer in the headlights.
28.) Everyone has a long lost sister/brother/twin. Usually one they didn't know about.
29) If you don't want to answer your phone, you can't just turn it off. The battery needs to be taken out.
30) All Korean men can drink hard, smoke long, sing well and play piano. Usually all at the same time. And at the same restaurant that has a piano that they let anyone use.
31) If you're in a relationship, you must at one point leave and have your lover tearfully come RIGHT before you board the plane (vice versa applies as well. You can be the chaser). 60% of the time you see each other, the other 40% you're roaming around in circles and pass each other about six times, but miraculously never see them.
32) If you're getting off a plane, you're ALWAYS wearing sunglasses. ALWAYS.
33) All guys wear hideous tracksuits zipped up to their neck. Even if all they're doing is jump-roping.
34) Girls will always storm off because they're mad and the guy will stoically grab them by the arm and swing them back—and by magic, not dislocate their shoulders.
35) Guys always look like they're 6 feet tall, even if they're only 5'10. Thank you, camera angles.
36) Guys like to wear foundation, eyeliner and sometimes a smudge of lip liner.
37) You always get stuck in an elevator with someone who makes you feel uncomfortable. Even if there are six different elevators, you'll always be stuck in the same one with that bastard you hate (or just fought with).
38.) Unless you're fabulously rich, your in-laws will always hate you.
39) So will your sister-in-law.
40) Your brother-in-law might be pining away for you.
41) There are only 2 ways to kiss. You either press your lips against theirs with your mouth completely shut, and just press away for a very long and uncomfortable time. OR you devour the other person and suck out their soul. In both instances, the world spins.
42) A guy will always get the right size ring, even if you're never held hands.
43) People stare off into space and ponder a lot. They'll just stop in the middle of the road and watch a leaf on a tree for a good three minutes, and just ponder.
44) You'll get pregnant the first time you have sex.
45) You'll get pregnant if he kisses you on the forehead.
46) Hell—you’ll get pregnant if you hold hands.
47) If you overcome great obstacles to be together, one of you must die. Probably due to cancer.
48.) One Korean man can kick the butts of 6 gangstas. Especially when they all stand in a circle and attack the guy one by one. Then when each of them get their butts OWNED, they wise up and attack the guy at the same time. Then the guy will get pulverized and bleed out onto the dusty concrete floor of the empty warehouse they've found to fight in. There will be a fire in a trashcan somewhere. And the girl will have watched this the entire time, screaming in horror. Instead of calling 119, she'll just watch and cry. But it's okay. Cuz the next day the guy will be fine with a few random bandages and a few face scars. But never a black eye.
49) It ain't a real fight unless the gangstas fight dirty with a stick or switchblade.
50) If you study in the states (preferably Harvard), you are one of the top students and can speak perfect English (as assumed by the reactions of those around you). Why the rest of the world OUTSIDE of the TV can't understand a single word uttered out of your melodramatic mouth is beyond me.


These are the best jokes ever, I laughed and laughed into tears. You're awesome.




These is so funny...haha..but it is sooooo ture...xD

one 'habit' that is really very korean to me.
i see it on 100% of korean actresses. and really, A FULL HUNDRED PERCENT of them.
their angry look.
i mean, is that the standard koreans' angry look?
raise their eyebrows real high and opening their mouth into a big oval and exhaling a huge amount of air.
come on, there must be some other pissed off looks, right?

1. (Although some actors like jo in sung are good) Most kiss scenes look pretty fake

2. (With the exception of a few dramas) the supposedly "ugly" or "plain" female lead (who is usually poor)
is actually a beautiful girl. Hullooooo we're not blind

3. Almost always, the poor girl or guy is in debt due to a gambling family member or hospital bills of
someone they love. Then, the thugs/mob/gangsters come and like beat them, kidnap them, threaten
them etc.

4. (This goes for most dramas, not exclusively korean) Two people that hate each other always end up
together in the end. You can always tell from the first ep. who will be together. Predictable. Sometimes,
it's refreshing to see the third wheel guy/girl get their love.

5. As mentioned by everyone before me, AIRPORT SCENES

6. This has been popular with k dramas in the past several years: WEIRD/UGLY/OLD-FASHIONED
NAMES(you probably would not be able to notice this if you weren't Korean) AND
WEIRD/UGLY/OLD-FASHIONED HAIR STYLES for their leads, perhaps to set them apart...but still.

Ok. so we've all watched enough Kdramas to know what those are, but I'd like to know if anyone feels like I do. While I enjoy kdramas, duh...I think I'd like it better if they got rid of these habits..

1-Taking out the batteries from the cel phones...is that really necessary? Why can't they just turn it off?
2-When the guy hugs the girl, they usually don't hug back...they just stand there with their hands by their side looking like a dishrag or something.
3-How is it that these girls always fall violently ill after getting a little bit wet? Is the rain in Korea deadly or something?

OK so now is your turn...anything else you have noticed that's annyoing?



For 1, the off button is most likely the end button on the phone.
and so you have to turn it off by flipping the cover open.
or sliding or w/e. so if you open it, the phone is pretty much answered.
