Korean dramas are mostly just trash…. Almost all the same plots, mostly plastic people, that Koreans envy unduly, and budget casting/filming. If Korean dramas are so popular, it’s surprising that so little filming skill/real acting goes into them – too many holds/stationary close-up shots on a particular model, who’s not speaking (it’s just about over-emphasizing a guy/girl’s face, who’s wearing too much makeup). Yes, some of the segments of acting can be quite realistic, but most of the character profiles/personalities are so flaky and void of any true color.
I’ve lived in Korea for over 10 years, and lived among Koreans before that, since 1994. Korean dramas are mostly just injected with gas/puff and arrogance/showiness that doesn’t reflect much at all about how 99% of Koreans live in Korea. This shallowness/pomp aspect is getting worse.
Finally, the screaming, hysterical women, (quite common here) and flowery guys are quite off-putting/annoying to watch/listen to….there’s enough noise and disorder in daily life here, to tolerate more noise pollution at home.
Like so many expats living in Korea…very unimpressed with Korean dramas!
