How do you say "cliché" or "you're/that's cheesy"? I know sometimes on dramas the subtitles will say cheesy or something along the lines of slang but it changes everytime. I know cheesy is a slang word so there could possibly be no equivalent but can you tell me different ways to say this? 감사합니당~

For cliché or clichéd, there seems no exact match but many that might loosely fit its meaning. - 뻔한 (얘기/말/소리), 뻔하다 - easily predicted and containing nothing new - used for stories and plots too. - 케케묵은 (...), 케케묵었다 - very old, behind the times, anachronistic. - 상투적인 / 진부한 / 식상한 (...) - similar meaning of "old and predictable" but more formal (all hanja words). - 크리셰 - "cliché" is also used directly, especially in writing.
