The Un-trope
The first time something original caught my eye in Asian dramas.
Everything has to be shown the first time before the other shows copy it until eventually you have a trope. Trope: Something recurring across a genre or type of literature, such as the "mad scientist" of horror movies or "once upon a time" as an introduction to fairy tales, similar to archetype and cliché. The un-trope is unusual and not common.
