I just dropped Elle home and we were talking about the ridiculous ways in which love occurs in Asian drama. I started thinking about all the dramas I have watched over the past year or so, and how the characters fell in love, and this is what I found. I think that we can all learn something from these examples to find our happily ever after.
Mei-chan no Shitsugi - Get a bulter.
Zettai Kareshi - Buy a robot boyfriend.
Nobuta Wo Produce - Be scary and unsociable (so much so that boys will want to change you and then not fall fo you ...)
Hana Kimi - Pretend to be a boy.
Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge - Be scary and unsociable.
Hana Yori Dango/Boys Before Flowers - Punch a rich guy.
Atashinchi No Danshi - Marry an old dying man with several eligible batchelor sons.
Kimi wa Petto - Treat a man like your pet dog.
Gokusen - Become a teacher (and be forever alone ...)
Tokyo Dogs - Get into a witness protection programme.
Nodame Cantabile - Annoy your next door neighbour.
Koizora - Go to High School.
Samurai High School - Go to High School.
Kurosagi - Annoy your next door neighbour.
Liar Game - Get caught up in a dangerous game and be saved by an ex con (who couldn't give a shit)
Buzzer Beat - Find a phone on a bus.
Ikemen Desu Ne/You're Beautiful - Pretend to be a boy.
Ouran High School Host Club - Pretend to be a boy.
Yankee-kun to Megane-chan - Go to High School.
1 Litre of Tears - Have a terminal illness.
Kimi no Todoke - Be scary and unsociable.
Tumbling - Do male gymnastics ....
Personal Taste - Allow a 'gay' man to move in with you.
Secret Garden - Be poor and magical.
Coffee Prince - Pretend to be a boy.
So pretending to be a boy, going to high school, annoying your neighbour and being scary and unsociable seem to be the most sure fire ways of moving forward to finding love* ... so good luck with that.
