Kdrama Drinking Game

I just finished watching a drama called Can Love Become Money and I think one of the show's secret goals was to include as many kdrama cliches and or tropes as possible. In honor of that I decided to compile a list of some common drama tropes and make them into a drinking game. I do not recommend following all of them all of the time, as depending on the show you are watching this could lead to alcohol poisoning. However, I do recommend making up drama specific ones. Like for Boys Before Flowers you can drink every time someone drowns/has a water related injury.

1) Drink when the characters drink. Specifically, when someone drowns their sorrows in soju shots, take few sips yourself.
2) Drink every time there's a flashback to something that happened in the same episode
3) Drink twice if the flashback is of something that happened in the last ten minutes
4) Drink three times if the flashback is literally to the previous scene. As in something happens, a character exits and then immediately flashes back to what just happened.
5) Drink every time a character stares meaningfully off into the distance
6) Whenever there is a staring go-round (multiple characters meaningfully stare either in the same shot or in the same scene), sip your beverage through the entire stare-go-round.
7)Drink every time the parent of a main character (usually the heroine) loses all their money/goes into debt
8) Drink when the mob/money lenders show up
9)Take a shot for each birch secret revealed.
10) Drink for references to other shows (if you can catch them)
11)Drink when someone (usually the annoying second female) wails "oooopppaaaa" to get her way.
12)Drink if someone gets water thrown in their face
13) Finally, sip your way through the kdrama base system. That is, one sip for first base (the wrist grab), two sips for second base (actual hand holding), three sips for third (the backhug), and four sips for a home run (a kiss!). Bonus drink if the kiss looks good and not like two faces smushed together.

So there is my -possibly hazardous- Korean drama drinking game. Obviously there's a lot more I could have done, but I tried to stick away from things that are clearly built into the premise (like prickly on the outside, lonely/vulnerable on the inside chaebols and forced cohabitation). That said, happy drinking/watching!
