purplekitteThis really doesn't make much sense without a passing familiarity of K-drama cliches and the Korean Wave in Japan. Fortunately, you can see a summary of every K-drama ever by watching this clip.
My classmates in East Asian pop culture used to make fun of me for taking huge amounts of notes on everything the teacher said (actually half of it was fic in the margins, but what do they know and they were singing a different tune when we got grades back), particularly taking notes of our teacher's ten minute long digressions into the specific plot details of particular TV drama plots. It wasn't difficult note taking. I simply had a short-hand symbol for every major plot event that I used from show to show in whichever order, attached to a set of initials for which of the four major characters it was (ex. amnesia, being hit by a car--with a particular one for "amnesia because of being hit by a car", suicide attempt, etc.). Could get a whole show in two lines without writing small.
Rewatching PGSM this month, I'm really tempted to write academic-esque meta comparing and contrasting it with other K- and J-TV dramas and "trendy dramas" and such and male-oriented live action shows.

“You remember me, don’t you?”
“I’m afraid I have amnesia,” he told her coldly. “I only know your name because I picked up this diary that you dropped.”
“You look just like him, though.”
“He said he wasn’t,” the young man’s clingy girlfriend, a smirk on her vulpine face. “He’s my fiancé, not someone you used to know.”
“I know you can’t be him. He went abroad to study, to find a cure for the deadly disease I have, and was hit by a car and died.”
“I got amnesia by being hit by a car.”
“If you leave me, I’ll kill myself! I can’t live without you,” insisted the jealous woman.
“Is that Winter Sonata repeats? Or Kusaka Hina’s Phantom Thief Tuxedo Knight?”
“No, Mama. It’s Aino Minako’s new TV drama, with Rain.”
“Oh. It seems familiar.”
Luna rolled her eyes. “Yes, it does.”
