Nothing like either being frustrated with the current state of affairs in the drama(s) you are watching or you are waiting for the next episodes, so you decide to watch something else.
You get 1/2 way through and it looks like someone is going to die/be injured in a car accident, so you pause that & start another & at the end of eps. 1, there is another car accident!!
So, right now, no matter which (of the half dozen) drama(s) I go back to, someone is going to die or be injured!
@whoosh True, but one thing that does is keep the stakes high. With western dramas the stakes are often very low- they rarely kill off characters because there needs to be a Season 2,3,4,5,6. Dramatic scenes lack tension. With #kdrama I get that nervous feeling every single time I see a white truck barreling down the road, because a #kdrama will kill off characters all the time- so will this time just be a miss, a slight injury, or a death. And it's the uncertainty that keeps it interesting.

Haha. I was member of a large Canadian forum once.
There was a section for fanfic.
I did two try-outs, otherwise just following the discussions.
¨But what if your story goes another way, some way you did not expect ?¨
"I just kill them" was a regular answer .
@notthatkaren @whoosh I dunno. From my POV, it rather seems that people who should clearly be dead make a remarkably miraculous recovery in 9 out of 10 dramas, usually after some accident at the end of the next-to-last episode.
Or maybe that's only the main protagonists, and sidekicks do get killed off? Nah, real tragic deaths, like that of some main protagonist's parents, are usually in the past.
