Is it real or a drama thing

The girl with her eyes wide open while the hot guy is kissing her.

The pressed lips kissing, if they can’t even act like they’re kissing.

I wrote a long post about this whole topic in feyfayer’s “Dead fish kisses,” so I won’t go into too much detail here. But I believe this is kind of true, especially when it’s their first kiss (or first few kisses). If girls kiss back too aggressively, they may seem a bit too forward and “experienced,” which is not always seen as a good thing. This is especially true if the girl is supposed to be young and innocent.

Dead fish kisses

Perspective from a Korean-American who grew up in Korea when I was younger. The “dead fish” or “pressed-lips” kiss scenes are not strange to me at all, and it actually seems natural. I can virtually hear/see the gasp or tsks or shaking your heads. I know Korea has changed so much past 30 years or so, and passionate kiss/love scenes (both on TV and in real life) are becoming more common and accepted. But I grew up in an era where there was absolutely no PDA (public display of affection)…

I do love the blindfold kiss in Her Private Life though!

I like that one too, there’s a big difference with this one. He knows where he is, he knows it’s because she doesn’t want him to see something in/about her apartment, and he is physically stronger. When the ML pulls out a blindfold and says trust me after they’ve only known someone for a few days/weeks, that’s a big NO for me, like I said, I’ve watched too many horror/thrillers. lol

Yes, there are people who do that. I experienced and it’s kind of scary and you don’t know what to do hahaha

To be honest, I don’t think I’d find it cute or sweet even if my husband of more than 25 yrs took me somewhere blindfolded and I trust him completely. If it were someone I’d known less than a year or two I think I’d be panicking inside.

That was my reaction and I trusted that person but I didn’t like the feeling.

This one, seriously? you have the chopsticks in your mouth and after that, you touch the food with them hehe, hell no!

Lol you made me laugh so hard! I’m not that picky as long it’s family or good friends I know. I think when you have kids you live with all kinds of germs and that actually strengstens immunity.

There is another one that folks share “1 bowl” I think it’s called bibimbap, it’s a cold dish with rice and leftover side dishes with some oil and/or egg and sesame seeds… all mixed and then everyone takes bites with a spoon from the same bowl (usually each one has his own spoon lol )

Seriously who doesn’t want to eat noodles with a KHOTTIE with chopsticks - Blindfolded - It’s ALL GOOD

[natyh]

hahaha yes, I don’t have any problem with my family or some super close friends. But the thing it’s that they show like the guy that you just met and he gives you food, so come on, I don’t know you hahaha.
Did you brush your teeth?

I was listening to a podcast (they live in Taiwan) and one of the hosts was explaining how you shouldn’t go up to a person who had a car accident to see if they were okay unless they were unconscious and profusely bleeding.

If they were conscious and had no visible damage, you should just call the police and let them handle it. If you do interfere, you might be held liable, plus the scene has to be kept intact for the investigation. This doesn’t answer your question, but I was quite surprised when the host explained this. That, and that a camera in your car or on your motorcycle is one of the most important things to have.

This is just so different than I’m used to! In the US if you’re in certain professions–eg a doctor or nurse–you sometimes have an obligation to help if you’re a bystander, in theory you could lose your license if you don’t! I think it would be really hard to stand by and do nothing if it seemed like someone was hurt. Maybe I’ll just stick to taxis if we ever get to go to Taiwan!

I want to cut my own steak. Plus sometimes the way they cut it is so unhandy…
No thank you sir, I know how I like to cut my own steak

Yes this seems like something you do for a toddler, not an adult you’re attracted to!

[simi11]

you sometimes have an obligation to help if you’re a bystander

In Switzerland before you apply to a driving school you must obtain a certification of first aid.
You learn basic situations at a car accident or general life saving technics and at the end you take part at a staged accident and have to look for signs and do life saving actions. With that certification you can take driving lessons.

Helping someone who might have a head/back injury is very tricky since one could actually do more damage when handling them.

I think Germany has the same condition or requirement.

Exactly, I did it a couple times for my nephew (He is 4 years old)

[kdrama2020ali]

Ok I was even watching a BL last night and when the guy gets sick (it always happens in dramas) - immediately to the hospital and then washing you down with cold water and staying up all night with cold compresses on you - and rubbing your temples like -

WHO DOES THIS!!! I need someone to take care of me when I’m sick - Someone from a kdrama!
Where is my first aid kit -

[natyh]

My mom did that and my ex-fiance hahaha

[kdrama2020ali]

My mom

Yes, Mom’s do usually do that! I don’t know if many men do!!! When I had chicken pox I remember my mom putting calamine lotion all over me!!! Yuck! I was pink! hahahaha & like 5

I did have a boyfriend that would make me full breakfast with homemade hot cocoa when I was like 15 - his mom was German - I loved her - and the breakfast was so yummy

I have an older sister, and her husband does that. She’s a really healthy person and I think that I saw her sick just like 4 times in my whole life, but he doesn’t even let her walk hahahaha

[kdrama2020ali]

he doesn’t even let her walk

I don’t think American men typically do this! That is so cool - and I’m never sick either

[natyh]

Yes, I think it’s really cute. They were in a relationship for 5 years before getting married, and now they have been married for 22 years.

[kdrama2020ali]

Seriously - My finger is gushing right now - cut on a bottle opener - no khotties!!! WHY!!!

[sweetybirdtoo]

immediately to the hospital and then washing you down with cold water

I know, it’s to the hospital for the smallest thing. Also in dramas when you have a fever it almost always makes the person so sick they can’t move or are delirious. My youngest is one of those people who would spike a fever (104F, 40C) but she’d burn through it so fast, she’d be healthy twice as fast as her sister. Even though she’s had many high fevers, she was only so sick she was barely conscious the first time. Why do people in shows insist on bringing down a fever? If they aren’t in distress, have other complications, and it’s not many days, the fever is there for a reason.

[kdrama2020ali]

, the fever is there for a reason.

Very True - Wise One!

the fever is there for a reason

…moving the romantic plot along! You cannot underestimate the health risk of walking home in the rain. Or the scourge of tetanus from minor cuts or, worse, SCARS. I think it was the original Mischievous Kiss where one of the characters got a cut on an ankle or something and there was some concern that she would be fundamentally unmarriageable after that.
