K-DRAMA VS REALITY
When it comes to romance, K-dramas are like a whole other world. I remember a time when I was totally obsessed with K-dramas. Each night, my sister and I would watch it and I would dream about what my life would be like if I were in a K-drama. I guess it's easy to believe that love is all about holding hands, eye contact, and that fateful moment when you finally realize that you're in love with someone and just have to tell them how you feel just as they're about to leave forever. Then reality hits, and you're like, “Where’s my perfect K-drama moment?”😒
You know the typical K-drama setup: girl meets boy, there's some kind of misunderstanding or rivalry, but slowly they fall in love with each other amidst a series of dramatic, usually hilarious events. There’s usually a love triangle, someone who has made it their mission to make sure that the two love birds break up, and at least one scene in the rain where someone confesses their undying love in the most dramatic way possible.
In reality, relationships are more complicated and less scripted. A misunderstanding can lead to real pain and isn't always resolved with a romantic gesture. Relationships require constant effort, communication, and compromise, which are rarely shown in the glamorous world of K-dramas.
The thing is, K-dramas paint this picture of love that’s so magnificent it’s almost impossible to live up to. Although it’s fun to get lost in that perfect world, it’s important to remember that real-life love stories are messy, complicated, and rarely perfect. But that’s okay. Just because our lives don’t have drama or guys tying our shoes doesn’t mean they’re any less meaningful.
So although I'll probably always have a thing for those K-drama romances (and yes, I’ll probably keep dreaming about my own version of that epic love story) But the thing is, even though my life isn’t a K-drama, and I don’t have a billionaire boyfriend or a fancy wardrobe, I actually like it that way. Reality may not be as glamorous or dramatic as k-dramas, but it’s still real. And honestly? It’s better to wait until you’re really ready for a relationship before you start swooning over those K-drama romances. After all, love in real life is worth the wait, and when it happens, it’ll be way better.
