![]() ![]() But, as you may guess, it was not the case for me - in reality, these were Korean Dramas that weren't meant for me. ![]() It was something so accustomed that I started thinking that maybe I don't enjoy watching TV series anymore. This even applies to the best and multiple-time rewatched Dramas too, but I completed them after a while just to know and see the ending of the story (and yes, with skipping some moments or even whole episodes of the Drama). It was my usual habit to leave the Drama unfinished and, eventually, to forget about it at all (apologies for these Dramas I left). This feeling of predictability of the plot prevents me from enjoying the drama to the extent that I want and makes me feel that the story (and, sadly, mostly love story) in the Drama is really something unrealistic.Ĭonsequently, Korean Dramas make me fed up with them the loss of interest in the story after, on average, 9-10 episodes (and now even after 10 minutes of the first episode) of Drama. There might be some interesting moments and twists, however, you can still predict having banal sweet moments, one-way feelings evolution, and even similar humor. In one hour or more of one episode, I wander around to not get bored by this predictability and well-known plot twists, particularly, love stories' flow. When watching Korean Drama, I could somewhat predict what would happen in the story episode or what course of affairs the story would follow. You can't know what will happen in the next minute no matter how hard you try, but it doesn't make the Drama complicated to understand. You Will Never Get Fed Up With Chinese DramasĬhinese Dramas are unpredictable. ![]() ![]() Thus, plots and characters being far more versatile in Chinese Drama TV series is my foremost reason why I prefer them over Korean.Ģ. Having an orphan lead is a rare feature for Chinese Dramas, but if there is one, the orphan lead's parents are not necessarily killed by someone in the TV series, who would be the target for the lead's revenge throughout the series (referencing to most of the Korean Dramas' main plots). family members are amazingly real: supportive and teasing brother/sister, nagging and flawy parents (but it does not mean that they are bad).Besides, he/she does not make you pity him/her all the time with his extremely perfect and somewhat unbelievable love with a lot of sacrifices usually, in Chinese Drama TV series there is no third-wheel, or even if there is, the third-wheel would not be the female lead's first love or the one to chase the male lead every time.love stories between an arrogant phoenix God and a naive snow flower Princess ("Ashes of Love") or a businesswoman who is isolated from her family and a talented cook who is full of warmness ("All is Well") or a strong martial arts female champion and a sweet amateur sportsman ("Sweet Combat") or an outgoing artist and an introvert dentist who grow up as sister and brother ("Go ahead").Chinese amazingly helped to regain my need for diverse plots and characters: I can continue with more reasons, but let me finish with these three and move to the discussion of Chinese. Another familiar family tendency of Korean Drama is to make the heroine/hero an orphan. These third-wheels also tend to be very similar: a kind and good-looking guy who was the first love of the female lead or a beautiful but cocky girl who always chased the male lead even family members tend to be very similar in every Korean Drama: rebellious little brother/sister, funny and in every way 'excellent' parents. there will always be third-wheel suffering.love stories between a poor girl and a rich boy or the smartest boy in the class and a less intelligent girl or an arrogant girl and a 'too-kind' man, etc.While watching Korean Dramas, I was frequently overwhelmed by these Dramas' repeated and highly predictable plots and characters: You Encounter A Variety In Chinese Dramas My story of the exploration of these two different kinds of Asian Drama TV series and comprehension of the advantage of one over the other propelled me to share these 4 most important and prominent reasons why I now prefer watching Chinese TV series to Korean. That would be still my constant routine of watching and being eager for something unfamiliar if I didn't encounter Chinese Drama TV series and let myself engage in something that fulfills all the demands that emerged after every Korean TV series I watched. It was a great experience for me as I discovered the new world of K-pop, idols, and, most importantly, never-seen Korean culture.Įven though I enjoyed these new discoveries, I still had the feeling that they lack something and was not sure what. Since high school, I had always been a huge fan of Korean Drama TV series: I watched and rewatched the most high-ranking and popular ones, and constantly looked for more. ![]()
