Crashing Landing on You,the second-highest-rated Korean drama in cable television history, is the buzz among my students and their parents these days, so I thought of checking it out to see what the rave was about.
After watching a few episodes, I realise it checks a few boxes that makes a good plot. Some of these could help you in your stories too.
1. Distinct characters
– a sassy, strong female lead who can overcome all odds.
– a righteous male hero for the audience to look up to.
2. A possibility that the story may end with a poignant regret
– as both characters are not allowed in each other’s territory, the love that had blossomed between them could be futile.
Audiences don’t want happy endings, even if they say they do. It’s more memorable if you don’t get what you want.
3. Constant tension
– even in primary school compositions, we demand conflicts, let alone a @netflixsg production.
– the fact that one of the characters is committing a crime in any one episode because he/she is forbidden from the territory brings suspense and excitement to the followers. This is in addition to the other subplots they have.
4. First love
– first love is always an enduring issue. Look at Taiwan’s Apple of my Eye, Italy’s Call me by your name or the Perks of being a Wallflower. All of them share the same theme- first love
– Regardless whether the audience is young or old, everyone has experienced first love or unrequited love, so the content resonates with the audience.
In your narrative stories, you may not be able to deploy all of these, but the general concept is the same.
You need well-developed, three-dimensional characters people can relate to, lots of conflicts and make the reader resonate with the story you are telling. #friwritingtips #crashlandingonyou from Study Room https://ift.tt/2VMAfro
