What Makes Korean Dramas So Popular?

 

Why is it that so many people enjoy watching Korean dramas?

 
Many people were startled to learn how famous Korean music and dramas are in America and outside of Korea after Psy's "Gangnam Style" went viral on YouTube.
 
Korean dramas are popular on video-on-demand services such as Hulu and Netflix. Dramas now on the air can't be subtitled and loaded fast enough to please their English-speaking audience. The KissAsian website featured the latest movie and series list.
 
Right now, the Korean entertainment sector is thriving. Korean music and television have a global appeal that is expanding beyond Asia and even into Europe and North America.
 
The term "Hallyu" has been used to describe the current boom in Korean cultural popularity. It refers to the way Korean entertainment is spreading over the world and is translated as "Korean wave."

 

What Makes Korean Dramas So Popular?

 
There are a variety of reasons why non-Koreans are so interested in Korean dramas.
 
Some of the most prevalent reasons why people become K-drama fans are as follows:
 
•Eye candy! - Drama stars are really gorgeous. There's a reason why Korean dramas have so many "broody shower sequences" and "princess for a day makeovers."
 
•Cultural appeal – It's educational (true!). Foreign dramas allow you to learn about a different culture without having to go through the tedious process of learning. By following the characters' daily lives, you can learn about various society standards. If you watch even one Korean drama, you'll notice that shoes are removed at the door without anyone telling you.
 
•Squeaky clean - When contrasted to American movies and television, the bulk of K-Dramas are G-rated and highly clean. There is very little foul language, very little violence, and love scenes rarely go beyond kissing. It's even newsworthy to see a French kiss in a Korean show. When the show isn't overrun with them, some scenes have a greater impact on viewers.
 

Overabundance of cuteness

 
•Precious moments - K-dramas have a plethora of meme-worthy moments. Some are amusing, while others are adorable; the greatest are both. People who haven't watched much Asian television will be surprised by the jokes.
 
•Vocabulary Stretch - By the time you've completed a K-drama marathon, your linguistic dexterity will have improved significantly. You will be familiar with a number of key Korean words and phrases. You'll be able to say "sorry" and "thank you" with ease, and you'll be able to declare your love for your favorite Oppa. You'll also understand what Oppa means.
 
•Newness - Many individuals in the Western world enjoy Korean dramas simply because they are different from what they are used to. It's not the same old stale, predictable plots we've seen season after season. In K-dramas, the plots, sorts of people, and even the surroundings feel new and unusual, making them more interesting.
 
•Cool outfits - Dramatic fashion has a certain trend appeal. Many of the ensembles are right off the catwalk. The accessories are equally as stunning as the outfits. The way most of us imagine ourselves dressing in our daydreams is how drama stars dress.
 
•Delicious cuisine - It's difficult to watch a drama without needing ramen. Almost every episode contains mouthwatering-looking foods such as wrapped eggs, substantial soups, and grilled meat. And dramas will help you improve your hand dexterity because you'll be desiring chopsticks at the same time.
 
•Rock music - Right now, K-Pop is more popular than Korean dramas. It's also not difficult to see why it's so popular. It contains lively lyrics and great tunes. K-Pop also contains a significant amount of English vocabulary. The good news is that dramas feature a lot of K-Pop music, and K-Pop stars frequently appear in dramas.
 

Why You Should Watch Korean Dramas!

 
What more could you possibly want from a show? Today is the best time to watch Korean dramas!
 
•A smorgasbord of options - There's a drama for everyone. Popular material includes light romance comedies. For those who like to cry a lot, there are also meatier melodramas. Historical, fantasy, science fiction, action, romance, and a variety of other drama ingredients can be added to season the genre to taste.
 
•Accessibility - Foreign television and cinema are now more accessible than ever before thanks to video streaming platforms. People are watching K-dramas in greater numbers now than in the past, owing to the fact that they can now.
 
•The format - A normal Korean drama consists of 16-20 episodes and is completed after that. The duration is ideal for telling a complete, linked story with a powerful buildup and finish. Because the season is longer than a film, the audience is more emotionally committed. It also has a clear conclusion, so the plot isn't just about filling time to last for numerous seasons.
 
•Addictive qualities - Korean dramas succeed in eliciting emotional responses from viewers. Characters are built and brought through hardships and tribulations in such a way that the audience can identify with them and share their feelings. Almost every episode ends on a cliffhanger, leaving viewers uneasy until the following episode can resolve the tension. The suspense is skilfully built up to the point where when the main couple finally touch hands halfway through the series, it is more emotionally impactful than when a full-blown bedroom scene occurs in an American series.
