I am loyal only to good plots and writing. This post reminded me of the many things I found distasteful in modern day kdramas. I've stopped kdramas for about 3 or 4 years, with the exception of bls. Apart from what you mentioned, kdrama is like a modelling show. I'm not expecting it to be artsy but exploiting the popularity of kdramas to peddle brands and products is tacky and distasteful. To make it worst, most of these fashion shows are full of plot holes and story lines fitting only for dummy viewers. Are the producers aware of the long term effects forgoing professionalism for profits?? But looking through the comments, I'm rather surprised at the number of low intellect and shallow viewers out there. As long as they're good looking I realised. That's the only criteria??? These commentators are offended if you tell the truth about the drama. Seriously these jokers.
In my era, we bought cds. Kdrama was already huge then. Shops appeared all over the country. We binge watched the whole thing in 1 to 3 days. There were outdoor setting tours for tourists and I went to one of them (for Winter Sonata).
Later came a period where streaming was common but Netflix has yet to become a popular entree. I used to watch alot more dramas and variety shows. Those productions were decent.
Gone are those days. I value my intellect.
I'm currently only watching one kvariety show(I Live Alone) and bls related stuff. Unsure why but it seems like the better writers went to variety shows and bls.
