30-Jan: Most unexpected twist on a trope?

Dreaming of a Freaking Fairytale is such a farce that nothing is sacred and they turn a lot of tropes into gags.

The typical catch & grab is reversed - which is becoming more common, but still turns out really unexpected, when the result is everything but love & tenderness.

Another is when a couple each gets one earbud to listen to the same thing. The music starts out lovely, but then something unexpected starts playing accidentally.

They did a fine job with turning tropes on their head.

Dreaming of a Freaking Fairytale
(2024 - Paramount 10 0:40 eps)

A complete farce! Rich, arrogant, cold chaebol meets poor girl who readily admits she's looking for a Cinderella scenario. Both leads do grow as characters & the show has some good messages about being true to yourself, believing in yourself, & loving yourself 1st.

Decent chemistry - although Pyo Ye Jin disappointed a bit. 2nd lead (same as "Cheer Up") again in a horrible love triangle. Stupid antics, ridiculous meet-cutes, crazy animation & sound effects. Inside jokes about other dramas the actors have been in.

You have to meet this with the right mindset: it's crude & ludicrous. Somewhat similar vibe to "No Gain, No Love," but a common story & not nearly as well executed. Lee Jun Young does not take himself seriously at all - great comedy from him & tears too.
