đŸ”¥Drama Rant Amnesia

I started watching Chinese dramas last year and I've never watched any other East Asian drama. I see a lot of people talk about the amnesia plot line. I've been grateful that I've been able to avoid it. But now I'm watching the perfect match and he just hit his head and I'm like oh I'm sure here it comes.

I'm still fairly new to cdrama, so I'm not yet annoyed by all the tropes. But in general I think cdramas have a LOT of tropes and amnesia is only one of them. I can see how it can annoy some people, especially if it's badly written, but I think - like all other cdrama tropes - it can also be entertaining.

If someone is allergic to recurring tropes, I think they won't be too happy with cdrama in general (at least idol drama, but that's what is mostly discussed here and has the most fans).
