Too bad I don't remembers which one. Anyways, I think it's actually a real thing in medicine. But I agree, Korean dramas LOVE to use bodily fuctions as comedy.<br /><br />I totally didn't realize that Yi Ryung-Kang Woo relationship was actually a noona romance. Of course, he was the more mature one, so I guess that might have confused me.Indigohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05055556992820109808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4952798172649226841.post-31205553119005631392014-01-08T21:12:49.119-05:002014-01-08T21:12:49.119-05:00This was a fun list! :)

It was interesting to see the dynamics change.<br /><br />And also while Soo Ha's power gives him the upper hand sometimes, Hye Sung's character was so assertive that there are times that I think the power shifts to her. She does make a lot of decisions for both of them, which is something I did not see in the heroines of the other dramas mentioned. <br /><br />I'm not discounting the validity of the list, by the way, I just wanted to mention that there are also shades of a real noona romance in IHYV. :)almeldielhttp://almeldiel.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4952798172649226841.post-64727452677840508742014-01-08T08:29:54.445-05:002014-01-08T08:29:54.445-05:00Also, don't forget the mom and daughter pair i...Also, don't forget the mom and daughter pair in 2 Weeks, where the mom used sign language too.
