What’s So Special About Korean Dramas? Find Out
Different Storylines
Korean Dramas follow unique storylines, which is why it is difficult for viewers to predict what will happen next, so they become curious and keep watching. Also, unlike most Indian daily soaps, their stories follow a proper structure and aren’t unnecessarily stretched.
Attractive Cast
Attractive characters are another reason that holds the viewer’s interest. When we connect with a character, we empathise with them and feel the need to know what happens to them by the end of the story. The appearance of the characters is also apt, considering their personalities.
Sweet Gestures That Make Us Feel Good
The simplest of acts are portrayed beautifully in the dramas. When two characters hold each other’s hands, the fans scream. Even day-to-day activities seem so fulfilling in the dramas. Eating together, meeting on the way to work, and giving a gift are all emphasised and add soul to a drama.
Dressing Style Of The Characters
Korean dressing style has influenced the youth of our country. They are styling clothes inspired by the characters of Korean dramas, and the clothes they wear are comfortable and in pastel colours. Even in dramas, the characters’ clothes are focused on and considered seriously as an individual’s personality defines their style.
Food That Brings Water To Our Mouth
Those who have watched Korean Dramas must have a craving for ramen. Every drama features delicious-looking food that we all wish to try at least once. As their culture is different, so is their way of picking food, and such is the influence that so many of us have become pros in using chopsticks.
They Are Easily Accessible
Various legitimate sites have made Korean dramas available for us to watch for free. One such app is Rakuten Viki, where users can find a vast selection of Korean dramas and movies. Even Netflix and Amazon Prime have also made available various Korean Dramas. In this globalised world, stories from small cities have become easily accessible.
A Treat To Our Eyes
Korean Dramas are aesthetic and soothing. They are vibrant with excellent direction. Although the direction is not what a normal viewer would expect, the outcome is observed by the viewers, making them feel as if they are watching a fairytale. The Guardian, The Lonely and Great God, is the best example of one such drama.
Builds Our Vocabulary
People love learning new words through dramas and movies rather than through a dictionary. Because it becomes a type of infotainment and not just full-fledged information that bores us all. People who watch 3-4 episodes learn to pronounce basic words like “thank you” and “sorry” in Korean.
Breaking Various Stereotypes
Youth has a different view of the world, and some stereotypes were passed on even to our generation, which most of us are trying to eliminate. Korea has a high standard for beauty, which they are trying to break through dramas such as True Beauty and My ID Is Gangnam Beauty. And such themes again build a loyal fan base for their content.
