Inspired by the original Anti-Kpop thread.
Reasons to hate K-dramas:
>female characters lack depth and growth>crappy acting from idols and top actors alike>terrible sense of humor, too many toilet jokes>romanticizes domestic abuse and dating violence>characters don't act realistically, cringy kissing scenes>exaggerated emotions, cliche scenarios, predictable plot>production environment is very poor, often making headlines in newspapers >overacting and overused tropes, i.e. girl falling in love with the chaebol assholeAnd let's not forget about Jang Ja-yeon's case:
>In the seven-page letter, written a week before her death, the star of Boys Over Flowers, South Korea's most avidly watched soap opera, chronicled the sexual and other favours she was expected to extend to progress in the cutthroat "Korean Wave" of TV and film.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/apr/01/south-korea-entertaiment-jang-jayeonThread to discuss K-drama in general and why you love/hate it.

The humor in kdramas is truly the least funny thing on the plant. Do Koreans actually laugh at that shit?

>>245695Kdramas are even worse than kpop imo, it's just as flawed but unlike kpop, Koreans hold their garbage actors and actresses up as a paragon of talent and beauty.
One thing I fucking hate is their direction - something dramatic happened? Better show the same thing over and over and fucking over from different angles! They drag shit out for ages both within a scene and in the overall plot, it'll take the whole series for an awkward kiss to happen. That blue balling worked on me for the first couple of series I watched, I was hooked because I needed to see the couple get together, but once the initial novelty wore off it was just painful.

>>245703>something dramatic happened? Better show the same thing over and over and fucking over from different angles! Kinda related but the constant flashbacks are painful. I know budgets are tight but maybe don't drag the episode over an hour long and you wouldn't have to reuse footage all the time?
It's even worse when kdramas go over the hour timeslot, like look at Answer Me 19whateverthefuck and their 2 hour episode. No TV show needs to be over 45-55 minutes, why hasn't Korea figured that out yet.

Has anyone else here watched Misaeng? What are your thoughts?
Personally, it's one of the only K-dramas I mostly enjoyed watching. It's not amazing but I like how it addressed some problems in South Korean culture like it competitive nature and gender discrimination. It was a hit in South Korea and I'm glad that it was. I remembered that lots of K-drama fans didn't care for it because it didn't have some contrived romance between the male main character and one of the female main characters lmao
No. 246102
>>246101Huh, I thought it was really popular with international fans. The plot isn't terribly unique, pretty much every jdorama has the same exact storyline, but I'm still glad it was popular. I feel like more mature dramas have been made after its success and less and less pathetic chaebol/candy tripe is making it to TV.
There's a similar drama called Awl tha was tthankfully waaaay more critical and less forgiving of Korea's awful working practices. Misaeng could be too naive at times.

>>246097I don't disagree with your point, but the drama in the picture is a bad example, tbh. Her boyfriend was literally portrayed as an abusive creep who later imprisoned her in his apartment when she tried to break up. I don't think anyone thought he was romantic.
This drama's actually pretty good, it tackles a lot of real life issues that others avoid, like domestic abuse, homosexuality, sugaring, etc.

All of this seems so strange to me, there I'm from people do their best to appear as if it didn't take them any effort, downplay everything in order to seem humble and talented without having to try hard. If you don't manage to finish filming until shortly before it's aired, doesn't that indicate that you're simply not good enough…?
