Article SBS content to be broadcast over U.S. terrestrial television
They already did... For example: Actor's faces with tons of white powder, plastic surgery to make western eyes,…
Some of those things are just weternisation and modernisation in korean culture itself and have been happening since the korean war or before like fried chicken, plastic surgery, christianity, bread sweets and they have a long history of drugs during the japanese occupation and american soldiers and globalisation just made that worse. Also psychotherapy and antidepressants? what does advancement in medicine have to do with westernisation? Kdramas have always followed hollywood but they added their own twist on it which made it special to the viewers and have tried quirky stories and concepts. I think many of us can agree that we like the character development and pacing in kdramas compared to western ones where they do everything in one episode. They have already started copying netlfix's short episodes and multiple seasons when we used to get 16-20 episodes where they conclude everything in that one season. With SBS plans to broadcast on American TV now the quality may decline further just like some of these netflix shows and SBS releases a lot of kdramas in the year.
