So You Want to Buy a Friend on Kissasian, Eh? Hold Your Kimchi!
Ah, Kissasian. The land of endless dramas, questionable subtitles, and enough second-lead syndrome to fuel a small nation. But here's the thing, friend (potential future friend? ), you can't exactly buy a friend on Kissasian. Shocking, I know. They're not handing out BFFs like free episode vouchers.
However, fear not! There are far more ethical (and way less creepy) ways to snag yourself a fellow drama enthusiast. Let's ditch the fantasy shopping cart and dive into the real friend zone, shall we?
Step 1: Embrace Your Inner Fangirl/Fanboy (Without the Creepy)
Tip: Read once for flow, once for detail.
Look, we all love to squee over our favorite oppas and noonas. But if you walk into the comment section yelling "OPPA IS MINE" in every caps-locked comment, you might scare your potential friends away faster than a roach motel. Instead, channel your inner witty commentator. Drop hilarious reaction gifs, write insightful (or hilariously nonsensical) theories about the plot, and maybe even invent a drinking game based on the sheer amount of second-lead tears.
QuickTip: Reading carefully once is better than rushing twice.

Step 2: The Art of the Comment Chain
There's a certain magic to a good Kissasian comment chain. You start with a throwaway observation about the questionable fashion choices of the evil stepmother (because seriously, what is she wearing?), and next thing you know, you've bonded with five strangers over your shared love of outrageous earrings and makjang plot twists. Don't be shy! Jump into those conversations, share your popcorn-fueled wisdom, and who knows, you might just find your drama-watching soulmate.
QuickTip: Scan quickly, then go deeper where needed.

Step 3: Operation: "OMG, You Watch That Too?!"
Sometimes, the best friendships blossom in the unlikeliest of places. Spot someone rocking a killer K-drama t-shirt in public? Don't be afraid to unleash your inner fangirl/fanboy (this time in a slightly less creepy way) and strike up a conversation. You never know, you might discover you both have the same burning questions about the ending of "Crash Landing on You" (seriously, did they or did they not??)
Tip: Reread key phrases to strengthen memory.
Step 4: Patience, Grasshopper
Building a friendship takes time, people. Don't expect to find your lobster (IYKYK) after three episodes of "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo." Keep putting yourself out there, engaging in the comment sections, and maybe even venturing into the wild world of K-drama forums. The friend zone might be a journey, but trust me, the laughter, the shared theories, and the endless supply of drama recommendations will be totally worth it.
Remember: The key to finding a friend on Kissasian is to be yourself (with a dash of drama-obsessed enthusiasm). There are amazing people out there who share your love for questionable haircuts, epic fight scenes, and the ever-present struggle of "should I be learning Korean or am I too deep in this already?" So put down your imaginary wallet, grab your virtual popcorn, and get ready to find your fellow drama-watching fam!
