Maybe S.Korea want to move on from romance-centric dramas. There is only so much they can explore with romance themes and they don't want to repeat the same types of stories over and over again. In the past romance was the strong selling point in K-dramas but now they are willing to explore other genres. Better to have variety than sticking with the same old formula and letting things lose quality. One well-written romance drama is better than forcing out 10 sub-par romance dramas just to fill a quota. One day the same thing could happen to C-dramas and they will reach a saturation point with their romance dramas.
Parasite was released more than 6 months ago (I watched it last summer...). There was no news back then about plagiarism only now due to the film's international success there are claims of plagiarism. I feel this is definitely a cry out for attention.
Interesting and informative article. Thanks! The only medical show I know that seem to get the details right is 'Casualty'. I remember it was mentioned they have a health consultant around to make sure procedures are done correctly. I used to be a fan xD As for Asian dramas/movies I don't expect the same dedication for accurate details.
This drama is really like candy. It looks good on the outside and it taste sweet on the inside and you are satisfied for a while but after some time you know it doesn't have much substance. An easy to watch cute rom com so go for it!
Interesting article. I enjoyed reading it. I thought 'Winter Sonata' from 2002 was the drama that started the Hallyu Wave. It became especially popular in Japan.
What is 'Hong Kong accent'? Cantonese is the correct term . This is the language spoken in Hong Kong dramas.
