why only 6 ep ?? -_- I think its the new trend for most of 2023 kdramas.....
Tbh we need to watch the drama first to see the flow of the story first to see if it works. This isn’t like Disney+, where every series seems stuck to fit 6 episodes for some reason. Netflix has a variety of episode lengths (12, 8, 10, etc.) Either way, I hope this turns out to be good ones.
You contribute to the degeneration. They had 16 eps filmed and done and decided to split them into two parts for…
I am routing for kdramas to succeed, that is why I value any format that increases the fan community.
I doubt they'd split small scale stories into 4 parts. That doesn't sound as beneficial for most kdrama stories. I'm talking about 2 parters, which is happening right now. As of right now, there is still nothing wrong with splitting into 2 parts. For all the reasons I've already said above and more. Benefits the audience growth and increases more discovery of kdramas, as people see and hear. Another reason is, there could also be production reasons for splitting into parts for shows with visual effects, which take more time to improve upon.
Weekly releases, 2 parts, and all at once. These are just release schedules. Once episodes have completed airing, people can watch at their own pace as they please. When it comes to streaming, binge format sometimes keeps shows from picking up. The release schedules are just a way to get people talking. It's understandable for them to want to prevent all of the resources going to waste, when you think about the time and money spent on creating the thousands of series. Even network dramas have longer gaps between seasons: (Taxi Driver, Voice, Stranger, Missing: The Other Side, etc.), so the small gap isn't the end of the dramas success. If the story grips people, they'll be back to continue watching after telling people they know about how interesting the story is.
Streaming services are harder to catch peoples attention with all the options available to search through. Netflix Originals are not the only place to watch kdramas. There are other networks and streaming services, so this isn't something that all kdramas do. Streaming is a different environment than a network. Watching habits are different.They need to experiment so the resources and money going into series don't go to waste. There is nothing wrong with any of these variations of release schedules. Sometimes binging works for series other times it doesn't.
At the end of the day, the script and performances still need to be good. That is far more important for the success of these dramas than their release schedules.
There is literally nothing wrong with splitting into two parts. It helps the series promotion. People who binged part 1 have been talking about it, new viewers increase, more come back to watch part two, Netflix retains and increases on viewership, and the kdrama fandom continues to grow. Netflix, korean creators, and the growth of kdrama fandom, all benefit. Netflix has brought so many more people's attention to korean entertainment.
Netflix can see the data we don't. Some people like weekly releases, others like binging. Binging 8 episodes at once with a part 2 on the way is just another alternative to increase viewership. Every company/country has their strategy to keep viewership from stagnating. Even weekly releases is a way to increase viewership that works for networks all around the world.
Why do they keep doing this?Same thing in "THIRTY NINE" Kdrama where they are trying to justify cheating & affairs…
This is real life. People make poor choices sometimes in the moment without thinking. There is no hint of the writing "trying to justify" anything so far.
So, you're trying to say that JinBuyeon was the main FL since the start? Like, Naksu was SFL? The way I see it,…
Nope. NakSu has been the lead from start to finish. Played by both actresses due to soul shifting. MuDeok/BuYeon/SeolRan character was off-screen for most of this drama.
ooh snap it looks like the relationships in this love square will continuously get more complicated bring on the drama 🤣 if the writing keeps intrigue and unpredictability up, this could be great
I had high hopes but this was underwhelming. It's like it had most of the elements needed to be great, but it…
Exactly how I felt. Had some intriguing moments, but the story somehow ended up feeling like a generic thriller, with the scifi concept treated almost as a setting at times.
Think before criticizing Netflix for giving creators another season. You can find dramas on MDL with more than 1 season that are not Netflix dramas. There's a number of reasons series get another season.
This obsessive idea that kdramas should only be allowed 1 season doesn't even make sense. Even most kdramas, which have 1 season, drag because creators are forced to meet certain amounts of episodes. That’s a problem with network television. Episode number should depend on story structure. Streaming can bring a bit more freedom sometimes. We must watch the series first before judging.
This isn’t like Disney+, where every series seems stuck to fit 6 episodes for some reason. Netflix has a variety of episode lengths (12, 8, 10, etc.) Either way, I hope this turns out to be good ones.
could be fun
I’m intrigued
If everything works out, I'll check this out for sure!

Oscars are for films. Emmys are for tv series.
Golden Globes is films and tv series.
