So, here's the game. Any time the following occurs, everyone must take either a shot of hard liquor, or down a beer (unless noted otherwise). This list is far from extensive, admittedly, so readers are encouraged to submit their own additions to the list.
Drink a shot/beer every time each of the following occurs:
- A scene takes place inside a cafe. 2 shots/beers if the cafe is playing a Beatles song, instrumental, or cover.
- A "mosaic" tries to blur out an obvious corporate logo. 2 shots/beers if the logo is manually covered, instead of digitally.
- You recognize the area/location in which a scene was filmed.
- A lone male or female character stands outside in the driving rain. 3 shots/beers if this is the episode's final scene.
- A scene inside a nightclub. 2 shots/beers if you know the lyrics to the song being played.
- A female character slaps a man. 3 shots/beers (followed by a disapproving grimace) if a male character slaps a woman.
- A scene takes place on a bench outside a hospital.
- A female character blinks, causing fake tears to fall.
- Any time an older female character speaks and sounds like Mommy Fortuna from The Last Unicorn. Drink 2 shots/beers right now if you understand exactly what I mean.
- A cell phone rings. 2 shots/beers if it's on vibrate. 3 shots/beers if you mistakenly think your own cell phone is ringing.
- A character is diagnosed with cancer.
- This guy makes an appearance:

- A breakfast/lunch/dinner table scene. 2 shots/beers if a female character leaves the table abruptly in a fuss.
- A character is drunk/drinking.
(as a side note, when a male character in a drama gets shitfaced, it's because he's "conflicted" or "emotionally torn," and such an act is given positive connotation. When a guy does so in real life? It's likely because he's a drunken loser. Probably an unemployed drunken loser who smokes a pack of This a day and who is addicted to Starcraft. Oh, and his chances of pulling someone like Song Hye-Gyo are about as realistic as my chances of winning the Nobel Prize for Things That Smell Like Cum [sic])
- A male superior unfairly dresses down a female subordinate in an office situation.
- Ample cleavage is shown (5 shots/beers).
- A recently-employed female character's first day on the job reminds you of the lyrics "you're going to make it after all!" 2 shots/beers if the scene involves a fashion show.
- A passionate kiss (3 shots/beers). 10 if a tongue and/or groping is involved.
That's the list so far. Again, feel free to submit your own additions. And remember to drink responsibly.
*Hic!*
You actually made me snort (ouch). The K-drama drinking game sounds much more companionable than beer pong.
ReplyDelete2 Shots if a character gazes wistfully into the distance. 3 shots if there's bamboo in the background.
ReplyDelete3 shots if you see a main male character sporting pink shirt.
ReplyDeleteHow about...two shots if a male character goes up on top of the building he lives in (you know, that place where all the laundry is hung up and you can see everything in the city) to either work out at night alone with the old weight set, yell across to the next building where his friend/girl lives, or whatever else goes on up on the roof.
