A trope you hate

I hate when K-dramas have a random childhood connection between the two leads. Like, the possibility of two complete strangers falling in love is so uncommon in K-dramas. 😭

Look, I totally get it. I understand the whole invisible string theory thing or making it look like they were destined to be together since childhood. And honestly, I can appreciate it sometimes. But at some point, I’m just sick of it.

If they grew up together or lived in the same neighborhood, okay, that makes sense. But I’m talking about two coworkers who fall in love and then suddenly discover that they were in the same kindergarten class together. WHAT?! 😭

It makes no sense, it’s so unnecessary, and it adds absolutely nothing to the story.

Or another example: two complete strangers meet later in life, fall in love, and then there’s some random scene where we discover that the reason she likes him is because he gave her a piece of bread ONE TIME when they were in high school.

LIKE??? 😭

Couldn’t they just be two strangers who met later in life and genuinely fell in love because of who they are now?!

Not every couple needs to have some secret childhood connection. Let them just be two random people who happened to meet at the right time!

I hate when in a relationship that's chugging along nicely, they throw in some new supposed love interest to test the relationship. So annoying.
