5+ Times K-Dramas Gave Us The “Worst Dating Advice”
K-Dramas are popular among global audiences for their attractive casts, exciting plots, and, perhaps most importantly, heart-fluttering moments.
The romance in many K-Dramas can be so appealing to international viewers that many have traveled to South Korea in search of their own drama-worthy romance.
[K-Dramas are] offering a glimpse into a world where men [are] romantic and patient, an antithesis to what the women saw as the sex-obsessed dating culture of their home countries.

And certainly, K_Dramas are filled with adorable…
Romantic…
And steamy moments that set viewers’ hearts aflutter.
But many K-Dramas have also portrayed the humorously realistic difficulties of dating. Here is a list of seven times K-Dramas gave us the worst possible dating advice.
1. “Flaunt your jawline”
At the very least… Try to be more subtle.
2. Save your crush from falling (after you purposely knocked them over)
Telling them to “be careful” after you’ve caught them doesn’t exactly seem sincere.
3. “Do you know Messi?”
Although Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo might be an iconic drama, the idea of trying to catch a guy’s eye by pretending to share the same interests… Definitely didn’t work.
4. Trust people who are overly confident… Despite not having experience of their own
You may want a K-Drama romance, but you don’t want to accidentally write a love letter directly quoting song lyrics.
5. Place your faith in a “jealous saboteur”
If they’re trying to get in the way of your romance, they’re probably not going to give the best advice.
6. Place your faith in a “jealous saboteur” and follow their encouragement to make a gigantic grand gesture
Grand gestures are always risky, but if a “jealous saboteur” encourages it? It’s definitely not ending well for you.
7. Allow yourself to be possessed by a ghost to pursue your crush
It would… Certainly be a choice.
Maybe we can’t always take dating advice directly out of a K-Drama script, but the fanciful romances they portray can certainly rekindle our faith in love.
