In my opinion, Netflix Originals should be exactly like that. They could always get the rights for romcoms and usual romance like they already do. I simply cannot imagine a 3 seasons romance drama. Imagine the amount of dragging.

Exactly. And if we go a little deeper we noticed that most of this dramas have the school setting. Usually targeting people from the 15-25 demographic. Coming from anime I was really surprised that there was not a lot of romance with school/college settings while in anime that was basically the entire background for romance (as long there was no superpowers involved). That changed in the last few years and probably because of what you said. Last year there was a romance drama with both pretty known actors scoring 1% on tVN.
As Korean content matures (no saying that romcoms are childish, I mean in production value) I think we're going to see even less of the usual kiss at ep 06, breakup at ep 13 and get back together at ep 15-16. The change in tone also matches the budget some of this production companies are trowing at dramas. Romcoms are cheap and "easy" to make, but their product value is far from what this companies are aiming for. If Netflix in spending that kind of money on originals, expect more diversity (both in genre and race) and less fluffly romance. Extracurricular in my opinion set the tone for that kind of thing. It has hints of romance and at the same time is as f*cked up as some of HBO shows we've seen in the west. Some of my favourite dramas from the past few years had more of a serious tone and yet were able to hint a possibility of romance here and there. They're still learning, sometimes it's pretty much incest like in Alice, sometimes the romance completly take over the thriller genre ruining the whole plot.
At the end of the day, these changes are natural as soon as it's not " just about South Korea". The United States is a big market, Europe and Brazil are also a big market for Netflix, so if we're talking about ORIGINALS, they will definetly take the data they collected from this places into account when creating a new show. They will make sure to not make jokes about this places and so on. The usual kdrama fan will probably be disappointed with a few things but I don't see ths going back to what it was before 2015, I only see this getting more attetion from other players like Amazon. You will probably always have your romcom from public channels, but for cable and Netflix, experimentation is the way to go.
I don't if it's because I have a thing for older women, but I love the fact she doesn't look like most female leads out there. Not that there's something wrong with their looks, but it's nice to see a unique face once in a while. She's far from being ugly, it's just that you guys are used to the -face shape most actresses have. I also really like her hair.
Yes, they were, and that's why they came out at once. If a drama was produced by tvn, jtbc or ocn, they will follow South Korea's schedule. Love Alarm season 2 will come out in its entirety on March 12. It's not that hard to understand this.
Those are not Netflix produced dramas, they were just distributed by them. Like at Sweet Home, School Nurse... They all came out at once because they were produced but Netflix. Check your Netflix on the 12th and all episodes will be there.
Not netflix originals, they always come out at once (their "seasons" at least). Look at the left corner of the drama profile, there's only one day for the release.
Heart Signal was based on Terrace House. I doubt there's gonna be a terrace house anytime soon. Not just because…
I would not be so sure about that. The crew from TH is working on the host YT channel to "test the waters" for a return. At the end of the day, money talks.
