One gesture you see repeatedly in kdramas is the wrist grab. It's a controversial kdrama cliché that has both fans and critics among netizens.

Part of the controversy has to do with the fact that it's mostly the man who does the grabbing and he's often dragging the heroine somewhere she doesn't want to go.

The wrist grab usually happens when the hero realizes his feelings for the drama's heroine and must make a statement about them. He might grab her wrist when he realizes how much she means to him.

The kdrama hero may suddenly realize his feelings because they are about to part ways. Or he may see her growing closer to his competition.
