How To Make A Korean Drama

Ingredients:
- 2 male leads (A and B) *one good, one bad*
- 2 female leads (C and D) *one good, one bad*
- an item that symbolizes the token of love
- time, a lot of time
- cellphones (make sure you get the flip kind)
- money (the less there is, the more conflict)
- a conflicting situation
- lots and lots of crying
- just one kiss (at most two)

Procedure:

1) Make sure there is a pre-existing relationship between A, B, C, D but information about the relationship(s) is not fully known across all parties. If there is no relationship that exists, make sure to create one.

2) Communication is mostly via cellphones, with minimal face-to-face contact, unless otherwise specified in the phone conversation, such as, "Shall we meet?" *Remember: Hang up without saying a proper goodbye.*

3) A and B will soon fight over one of C or D, or vice versa. Usually the conflicting situation and money problems come in as well. By this time it is a big mess of spiderwebs of conflicts and relationships.

4) Of course, the love story prevails. The token of love is repeatedly emphasized, especially during the most emotional times. These are also the times when the females tend to cry more, and the males as well. And at last, the confirmation of love between the two parties is expressed with one long lip-locking smooch.

5) After a lot of emotional turmoil, everything turns well like in a fairytale, the good female and male leads always end up together, and the bad ones either go their own way or might end up together with some other loser.. And no, there is no final kiss to seal off the whole relationship. Usually the happily-ever-after just carries on as per normal, making it seem more like a platonic relationship.

* For extra spice and/or excitement, you might want to add in a little something extra, for a kick.. For example, putting a kid into the picture always makes relationships even more intricated. Setting the drama in a corporate environment gives it more ooomph, with rivalry and plotting and evil scheming to steam everything up, adding revenge to the bubbling cauldron of love, hate and emotions..
