Fictional Series Can Give You Psychological Syndromes - K-Drama Syndromes.

Have you ever watched a movie or a series and become too happy or fell into depression? Everyone has at least a series or two that they are attached to. Die-hard fans believe that sometimes their favorite series can give them fictional syndromes.

Korean Dramas, more commonly known as K-Dramas have immense popularity across the globe. The pandemic has helped in expanding the love for k-dramas. Once fans fall into k-dramas, there is no going back for them. These dramas, along with amazing entertainment also bring their own syndromes to their fans.

K-Drama brings unimaginable syndromes to its fans. These syndromes are just an insider way of saying what fans are hooked onto in a particular drama and are completely harmless. Let's take a look at some of these famous syndromes.

Second Lead Syndrome:

Second Lead Syndrome is the first-ever syndrome of k-dramas. Almost all fans have suffered from this syndrome at some time. This syndrome occurs when fans fall head over heels for the second male lead over the first male lead. Fans with this syndrome feel heartbroken when the second lead's heart is broken.

Villain Syndrome

There are times when fans love the antagonist just as much as they love the protagonists. Sometimes, they even prefer the bad guy over the good guy. This is when the fans are hit with the 'villain syndrome'. Typically, the main cause of this syndrome is the irresistible charm and good looks of the villain.

Psychopath Syndrome

This syndrome does not turn fans into psychopaths but makes them fall for psychopaths villains and serial killers. In the past couple of years, k-dramas have been moving towards thrillers and mystery series with protagonists and antagonists suffering from the real psychopath syndrome. So, the fans are falling more and more in love with psychopathic characters.

K-Dramas are extremely creative. They keep coming up with new syndromes that it is hard to keep up with it. I believe these "syndromes" prove how much people can love something fictional.
