I don't know but I just can't resist them...

I live in hostel and here I got to know "THE KOREAN DRAMAS". I firstly watched City Hunter, then Playful Kiss... and then I am watching them...😛

They look stupid, they show girls dumb headed but still I love them...sometimes I sleep watching them at 4 or 5 in the morning...

Maybe the cuteness, love they show is missing in the English shows or our Hindi soaps...

Maybe I miss this in other languages (which I am familiar with)...

Sometimes, people here talk in Korean like Kumaao...Kamasvida etc. or whatever they are called...

I always ponder over the fact that why I couldn't resist. Is it that they finish in 15-20 epis, they don't have 6-7 season or what is the reason... I don't think many people come on this forum but if you are reading this n watch K dramas than do share ur views...

Hi there, first of all welcome to the forum and I hope you have fun here 😛

Like you some of us can watch the entire series in one night if it really captures our interest, I myself have done that when I find something I really like. I'd say the reason I prefer them T/J/K Dramas is that even if they have they same basic storyline they reach the end in different ways and the only time you see any real repition is when there are re-makes.

There are a few of us on the forum just not many active right now due to exams and what not

Thanks dear...
I can understand that not many are aware of the J/K/T dramas... I liked the forum... I agree with you on the fact you stated above... I know they hv basic story lines but they are really cute... and without high melodrama...😊

Welcome to K--drama fever haha. And yes I agree the love stories in k-dramas can be sort of stupid at times but you will still get obsessed with them.

I think the fact that they have fairly decent storylines without being overly ridiculous is what makes people want to watch them even more.

To get more info on korean dramas and movies,you can refer to following blog:

I adore Asian dramas, films, variety shows etc. Yep they are irresistibly lovable.

Talking mainly about K-dramas:
They have the modernness that one can relate to; which Indian dramas lack. They also have the reserved nature, the guarded by our culture thing. The whole Asian continent can relate to each other on that aspect. K-dramas are restrained in some aspects and modern in others, in other words they are modern without being western. For example: Annoying family members are central to pretty much all us Asians.😆

American/British TV = rather than emotional depth they focus on moving on to the next chapter, getting quick plot movements, they want quick results, quick actions and zippy twists, and they are EFFING long, plus you have to wait yearly for seasons (ughh.. I can actually feel getting old. Dexter? are you here yet??) On that respect, Asian drama's are like the heroin addicts quick sniff. It's short, you get the high and you move on.😆 Another annoying thing about American/British TV is how everyone sleeps with everyone, everyday = it gets boring😆 they never center around Teh OTP thing which we adore so much.<3 and the fun angst is missing too.😆 And K-dramas have this innocence and simplicity which is inverted in real life/relationships, so it's a great way to loose real life stress and make believe and have some fun.

To summarize: Brooding is the Eastern thing, concluding is the Western thing and dragging is the Indian thing. 😆 jk

Korean dramas are always selling the fairytale fluff, true emotions, and HWT men. What else does a gal need to spend her free time on?😆 Even if the same story-line is re-cooked 1001 times, they still magically make it fresh. K-dramas have found the perfect formula to keep a girl invested and that's why they are sooo irresistible. 😉

Sorry for the rant, I'm bored, haven't slept and it's 6 AM😆
