In Korean, the expression “Makjang” is used to describe many different meanings but it is most commonly used to reference a story or a plot in a Korean TV drama – that goes to the extreme, unrealistic, abnormal or ridiculous situations – usually to bring in high TV ratings.
When plots involving extreme, absurd or shocking instances are dealt with illogical or unusal methods – mainly to arouse controversy or to hook more viewers – or conveniently inserted for that purpose, all this is described as “Makjang” in Korean.
“Makjang” can literally mean, “to take things too far” or “to reach a limit, regardless of the circumstances.”
