So on my usual night-time routine of going through my phone last night, I came across a snippet from Secret Romance – yes, I saw that drama in its entirety, and I am ashamed but Sung Hoon is easy on the eyes and I am vain, okay? – so basically in this scene Sung Hoon’s character was explaining why he kept her bra pad all this time. (For those of you who do not know the story revolves around a one-night stand where the guy ends up with the girl’s bra pad and keeps it in a box like a super perv).
So he says, and I quote, ‘I am thankful because if I didn’t keep it I wouldn’t have been able to remember all the memories that we have shared’ (super cringe! Dude wtf!). Anyway, so I go ‘wait a minute, why does he need a bra pad to remember the ‘memories’? Couldn’t he just remember?’
So that made me think of several things, (a) bad translation? (b) bad writing? (c) dialogue not delivered properly? WHAT IS IT?!?!?
What was the worst/useless dialogue you have ever come across? Please tell me so that I can brush this one aside and be at peace with the world. I have been up all night….
Dad: I don’t just knead the rice cake. I knead the spirit of tradition.
Go bake western cookies. You have betrayed spirit of rice cake.
Baker: My bread has its own spirit.
Since when bread has a spirit? It’s just a bread. Nothing more nothing less.

When I’m writing I’m thinking about thinking may not be the worst but it is the newest.
