SVSSS characters as kdrama tropes
I'm gonna apply cliche kdrama tropes to svsss characters because i can
Mobei-Jun and Shang Qinghua: Overbearing rich handsome ceo lead slowly falls for his secretary but he doesn't know how to deal with his feelings so he keeps overworking his secretary, but he'll take them on expensive dates and buy them gifts. Meanwhile secretary is under the impression that their boss hates them and eventually sends a resignation letter to the shock of ceo male lead. This leads to a misunderstanding arc but dw they still fuck and get married in the end so all is good (basically a mix of 'What's wrong with secretary Kim?' and 'Business Proposal') Also there is usually a scene where the rich male lead and the secretary/subordinate eat cheap food together. Like instant noodles or something (pulled noodles anyone?)
Liu Qingge: Second male lead who the audience is all rooting for but the writers hate him so he doesn't get the girl despite being a green flag. A fan fav, but he still loses in the end to the first male lead to all of his fans' chagrin. His fans are in the trenches for him.
Shen Jiu and Yue Qingyan: Childhood friends/sweethearts but get seperated and meet back up as adults. The reunion isn't sweet because misunderstandings and so Shen Jiu believes Yue Qingyan purposely moved away without telling him but Yue Qingyan claims Shen Jiu has it all wrong but plot is forcing him to not spill the beans. Slowburn, second chance romance that has a lot of angst and misunderstadings which has fans questioning if they are truly meant for each other or nah
Binghe and Shen Qingqiu/Yuan: Super Handsome friend of female lead that gets all the girls. The female lead is the closest to the male lead so many girls use them to get closer to male lead. Of course, SY accepts because it's the least he can do for his best friend, but for some reason, Binghe likes none of them. Through many misunderstandings, Binghe eventually confesses to Shen Yuan and they live happily ever after in their freak4freak relationship. Slowburn to the max with several kiss scenes interrupted.
Liu Mingyan: The main girl character in a BL. At first, she's believed to be a rival for the main couple, but is later revealed to be a fujoshi and ships the main couple together. (Cliche based off of the one fujoshi in the BL 'Blood Link') She will discuss who is the top and bottom in public with absolutely no shame (Her character stays the same lowkey even if she was a cliche)
Mu Qingfang: He's the side character that is actually sensible. If there is some cringey/cliche kdrama scene happening in front of him, he will call out the bullshit. If the male lead is being a bitch, he'll slap some sense into him. If some character is being weird asf, he will be the first to question it. Remember, if all the main characters are dealing with nonsensical problems that only the male and female lead could have in a kdrama, he's the one dealing with taxes because he actually has responsibilities around here people!
Luo Bingge: Infuriating male lead in isekais. If the villainess suddenly changes then he thinks it's because they want his attention. Who wouldn't??? But just because he's their fiance, doesn't mean they're gonna get it. After all, he has his own lover. He doesn't want the villainess. But... if the villainess wants to break things off with him, then he won't let them go so easily now. Wait, what do you mean they already found another man? What about him??? He's the one they want...right? Suddenly he finds himself wanting the villainess, not his own lover.
