13 Things Only People Who Watch K-Dramas Will Understand
1. The impatient wait for subs
Probably the worst part of being an international K-Drama fan is waiting for subtitles. The wait is beyond painful and you desperately just want to watch the show but you know if you do you won’t understand anything!
Then there’s the danger that someone, somewhere in the world, will spoil the episode so you have to tread carefully.
But when the subs finally upload you can’t contain your excitement and want to give the subbers a big hug for their hard work!

2. The horrifying moment when your video or subs freeze
Of course just because the subtitles have been added doesn’t mean your out of the water yet. Nothing can be more frustrating than having your video or subs freeze while your watching. The moment either of them freezes you go through the 5 stage grief.
3. Having second lead syndrome
How is it possible for the female lead to not fall head over heels for the second lead when you already have?
But if she doesn’t take him, does that mean you can?
4. But also loving the main lead
You might love the second lead but at the same time, you also love the main lead. Even if you started out disliking him because he came between the female lead and the second lead, you can’t deny your feelings.
