Seeing Dead People
Ghosts in Kdramaland!!
I’m convinced that Korean drama script writers are members
of a cabal. They meet every season over some samgyeopsal and soju, and decide
what the next theme is going to be.
How else do you explain the wave of sageuks last year? Or the fact that there are THREE!!!* dramas coming up with ghost seeing themes?
Writers-nim (or is it writer-nims?) Wae?

Ghost-spotting seems to be a pretty common phenomenon in kdramaland this
year. So I’ve come up with a little guide for fans who want to get in on the action too …..
1. Get
into a mysterious accident**. It has to be unexplainable and mysterious. Did I
mention mysterious? Of course you won’t see ghosts right away, you have to
recover first and maybe start having headaches.
2. Make
a skeptical friend. This could be a work colleague who is rational and
skeptical, or a cute rich person who’s cold and skeptical. They should also be
male (because only guys can be skeptical apparently)

3. Be
afraid of ghosts. Ghosts don’t appear to people who aren’t afraid of them
(which explains your skeptical friend). They like to scare you a little before
they ask you for help.
Note:
All ghosts have pale faces and wear white. If you keep seeing people without
these two things, chances are you’re not seeing dead people. You’re just seeing
things. And that’s another type of Drama.  |
