I guess Kdramas aren't popular enough if they need to rely on sponsors to make a living. All the dramas i watch on NETFLIX without commercials that aren't from Korea don't use sponsors and if they do we don't notice it because they use it sparingly and inconspicuously, whereas Kdramas use it frequently making it blatantly obvious.

I prefer the honest opinions and feedback from fans in MDL that have experience in Kdramas rather than some random google search pages with no credibility. You do realise this doesn't only happen in the final episode of a drama but multiple times in every episode from beginning to end. I know many dramas around the world use sponsors but they use it sparingly and inconspicuously, whereas Kdramas use it frequently making it blatantly obvious.

Why disappointing?

Romance fusion sageuk?

Probably not because it's an historical period drama, so they can't really advertise products, but i was talking in general.

Yes i guess you're right. In Kdramas they just seem to make it more obvious, but in other countries it's more inconspicuous.

I understand what your saying but that only applies to free to air tv where they have to use commercials. I watch shows from other countries with no commercials on NETFLIX and they don't use sponsors like we see in Kdramas. Which brings me back to my original question, why do Koreans do this?

I guess Kdramas aren't popular enough if they need to rely on sponsors to make a living. I don't see dramas from other countries using such tactics to make money.

More responses equals more accurate answers🤷‍♂️

Off topic. What's the deal with advertising products in Kdramas? Here I am enjoying a Kdrama and all of a sudden it's like I'm watching a commercial. It just brings down its overall value, I mean do they only think about money? Don't they have enough to pay their actors and staff? Can't we just watch a drama in peace without them trying to sell us something? Not that it stops me watching it, infact sometimes I find it funny how in one moment the actors are focused in character and in the next they become a salesman. If I wanted people trying to sell me something I'd just watch free to air TV with commercials every ten minutes.

Yes thank you, this is exactly what I'm saying. I understand in your situation it's easier if one is with the kids and the partner goes off, but I'm talking about no kids involved just one on one dating. It just seems more romantic when you're together the whole time instead of leaving your date alone somewhere. What's the point waiting alone when you can just wait together even if there is a queue. You can hold hands, talk, kiss whatever. I see it in most Asian dramas and it just doesn't make any sense leaving your partner alone.

Well i certainly didn't watch it and liked it for those reasons. I just loved the FL and her interactions with the ML.

Uh yes i see, i guess it depends how far away you are from your date. Like you said if it's within eyesight and if that's the case then yes i understand it's ok, i mean it's common sense if you're at a restaurant or somewhere like that of course it's not convenient for both people waiting to order, but what I'm talking about and the scenes I've seen on tv is when it's a greater distance away further than the eyes can see.

Oh yeah of course i understand they made it like this for entertainment, character development and to strengthen the bond between the leads in later episodes, and i ended up loving her character in those later episodes. Also I'm not talking about the actors but the characters, i know it's fiction, I'm just describing the feelings this show draws from its viewers, and that's why i loved this drama.

Why are you making this about gender? We're talking specifically about this show, and in this show the ML is innocent and the FL f*cked up, if the roles were reversed I'd say he's a dick. Yes she apologised and i already mentioned that in my previous comment, but in the earlier episodes she's a bitch without a doubt.

Culture shouldn't have anything to do with it, it's up to the individual, and i wouldn't leave my date alone, I'd prefer her to be by my side. I'm still paying for the item and giving it to her, the only difference is she's by my side and not waiting alone somewhere.

It's not polite. You're leaving your date alone, anything could happen to her and you're not around to protect her. So the reason is standing in queues? She's standing alone by herself waiting for her date to come back, she may as well just wait with him, it's the same thing except they're together, which infact is even better.
