“The bigger expectations, the bigger disappointment” that’s a life lesson right there

[hayfaferoz]

Koreans have no idea how many people from different nationalities find k-dramas addictive AF.

[nehaart]

So here's why i am addicted to k-dramas..
* Shorter stories
* Good acting
* Appealing visuals
* Being an asian country, there are some cultures i can easily relate to.
* Wide genre to suit your mood
* No unnecessary intimate scenes
* Male lead always portraying ideal BF
* Love their language and way of talking
* OSTs
* Love their foods
Ending the list here...but it has alot more!!❤️❤️
In short ; its my daily dose of vitamin 🤭


(Note: one can find any of these points in many other asian country's dramas obviously, but here the topic is limited to S.Korea only.)

Koreans : we watch it 2-3 times a week.
International audience: finishes 2-3 k dramas binge watching in a week.. 😅😅😅😅

[Framm]

koreans cant even imagine how far their wave is going

[chefmoon]

Indian dramas: series that go on for 8 or more years about the leads’ children and their children and so on...
Kdramas: just 16 eps to finish

It’s a breath of fresh air to watch a Korean drama when you’re a Westerner. All our media provides nowadays is overtly-sexual, inappropriate content with no age limit or requirement. Whether they release an entire series, or a “simple” commercial, it is almost always very scandalous. It’s gotten to the point where people don’t choose to be in a genuine relationship, they just want a provider and sex. No matter how unrealistic those Korean dramas are, it shapes the view that one shouldn’t choose someone because they’re convenient or “good in bed.” They should choose someone because of genuine interest and love.

Korean wave is really global. It’s funny how they underestimate it. I’m writing this from Ghana, West Africa.☺️🤷🏽‍♀️

[jiminssugakookie]

although Koreans may not all look like the idols or actors in Korea (obviously), they dress really really well.

[LiHuaCookingDiary]

It's also nice that they usually have 16 episodes while some countries have sooo many episodes not even a lifetime is enough to finish it

[chickennoodlesoup]

I enjoy k-dramas because they are much more emotionally connected in relationships rather than sexually. That is the reason why I enjoy watching them and though they are unrealistic it is nice to see a relationship evolve slowly and them getting to know each other. It is just my opinion...

[cheeseplease]

The beauty about Korean Dramas is that most of them have life lessons even if most of them are unrealistic. There's always a message to be delivered unlike other dramas from other countries. Plus their humor is amazing and really funny.

"your boyfriend turns out to be your long lost brother"

A proper example of soap drama 🤣🤣🤣

[MadiQueenx]

My whole netflix page is clustered with kdrama recommendations. :D

[ashsawyer]

For me personally I prefer Kdrama, it's funny, romantic, thriller, historic, music, life long lesson dialogue, plot twist and perfect amount of episodes. You could watch like 3 dramas or more in 1 week. Especially during this pandemic it keeps me sane and occupied.Ohh I almost forgot that you can make a beautiful love story without being over sexualized it.

[PerfectStranger]

I’m not addicted to K-dramas. But when I’m in that special mood to dive into an ocean of true love, there are a few which make me feel ecstatic beyond words.

[Hellofellowhuman]

To be honest the main reason I watch kdramas is because most of them have pure and innocent love stories..I just don't like overly sexual scenes..
The thing is in kdramas they make every little moment a precious and romantic one like when their eyes meet or when their hands touch...these simple things make my heart warm❤ aaaa I really love kdrama a lot (p.s- also Japanese、Chinese 、Taiwanese...)

[kopxpert]

"Because u miss your girlfriend, u start running in the rain"
Pwhahahahah that's funny af. Typical K-drama lol

[acgq]

"So is there a possibility that you meet someone like him in real life?"

Every girl: *shakes head* No.

Same girls, same.

[nikwani]

Indian fans :- we love k-drama
Koreans:- yeah we watch 2-3 of them
Hahahahaha 😂
