Article K-Dramas Losing Their Charm: Myth or Reality?
Kdramas have become repetitive that’s just the truth between melodramatic revenge dramas, thrillers that run the same plot and romances that become quite stagnant nothing really stands out anymore now bare with me as I make this comparison. Chinese dramas on the other hand have something special not to say there’s no flaws especially with long episodes, blocking creative difference and such, the reasons why cdramas I believe are flourishing is because of how creative they have to get to get around bans, they have wuxia/Xianxia plots that are soooo for the girlies who love fantasy and romance all that angst BUT they also have modern dramas that are fresh compared to kdrama modern romance dramas which always feature one type of setting we have cdramas spanning the career world: aerospace engineering, firefighters, military, and many more that I cant quite remember right now. To be honest I’m not really a fan of modern dramas nowadays especially when it comes to kdramas cause as a long time drama watcher I know the plot like the back of my hand but cdrama modern dramas intrigue and draw you in whether by featuring a profession and a part of life you never really thought about or by introducing old tropes in new ways. Kdramas will always have a special place in my heart but I fear it’s time for a new direction.
