True I agree. Somehow nowadays i have been finding the kdramas are falling short on the adrenaline they can provide me whether its the plot or acting. The past yr has been dissapointing. Since then i have gone full on with the cdramas watching those long 60 episodes with a fl that doesnt bend, plot which might be cliche sometimes however does give in a platter a flavourful mix of reason, laughter, healing, family, friendship, revenge, despair and triumph.
for recent kdramas I have tried hard and hard like, even if i am hooked in first few episodes calling it the remedy for next weeks, by 6-7 episode they start dissapointing soon enough. Am i just used to hardcore court politics or kdramas have really lost its charms. These past few months, i found myself retracting more into rewatching the past kdramas a lot so i dont think kdrama itself have become boring but rather its the recent flops, maybe because netflix has influenced the production ?
I think the last few kdramas that were memorable for me were the "knight flower", crash course in romance, a few family makjang dramas that i usually watch.
For me potato lab and brewery romance werent extremely dissapointing, since i at least did not give up on them unlike the the haunted palace, crushology, heo's diner, good boy etc other dramas that i have been watchign for the sake of my fav actors or the wait i did for them. Like unwritten seoul, its good but i am finding myself unattached to it now. Nine puzzles barely completed. Tastefully yours narrowly touching the mark. I often find myself rewatching kdramas like romance is a bonus book or looking for unwatched older dramas like hospital ship.
Since i couldn't properly watch when life gives you tangerine also, i do sometimes think if i have just consumed so many kdramas, now my stomach is full and upset. Not ready to accept an inch more unless its groundbreaking, and ultrashocking. Like I do agree the drama's a masterpiece but the people who have watched hundreds of kdramas would know the content and message wasn't that out of the bos or refreshing . It wasnt something not explored before. Its true story was beautifully carved out across the generations and the cinematography and direction were a chef's kiss. But from hometown cha cha cha, welcome to samdalri , lovestruck in the city, reply 1988, liberation notes, a piece of your mind, little forest, modern farmer, when the weather is fine, my mister, our blues, and the million other makjang family dramas that amazingly potray the struggles and growing of a family... like the unfamiliar family, my father is strange, and many others i am unable to recall.
Yes wfgyt was a breathrough that packaged together the best deal and makes me proud to suggest to someone to start it with. But I wasn't exactly struck dumb and numb by the concept and topics discussed in the drama, because its not the first day that kdrama has painted the warmest tale with its magical brush. They have always been extraordinary at its dramamanship. The politics or mindset of the people or how things go on there might not be my cup's tea but i respect how developed the tv industry of both china and korea.
So now i have switched to cdramas which have a million of genres and being a bigger country, has much more shows and speed. From short dramas to the big ones, there are many to choose from if i get bored.
