In 1999, reports of an emerging “Korean Wave" in Japan, China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Hong Kong and other Asian countries started to come out. Korean dramas continued to spread throughout Asia, achieving mainstream success in Japan, China, and Southeast Asia, as well as carving niche markets in Europe and North America.
Korean pop music, referred to as K-pop (an abbreviation of Korean pop), has become a large part of the Korean Wave. In recent years, Korean entertainment companies have started to recognize YouTube as a key component to the international spread of Korean culture. According to Bernie Cho, president of a Seoul-based agency specializing in the marketing of international K-pop acts, the entertainment companies are "aggressively steering their efforts to go international via the Internet".
The Korean wave also reflects the spread of other aspects of Korean culture, including food, clothing, video games, and the language. Korean drama (Korean : 한국드라마) refers to televised dramas, in a miniseries format, produced in the Korean language. Many of these dramas have become popular throughout Asia and have contributed to the general phenomenon of the Korean wave, known as Hallyu (Korean : 한류), and also "drama fever" in some countries. Most popular Korean dramas have also become popular in other parts of the world such as Latin America, the Middle East, and elsewhere.
NOW those were the information that i brought about my topic which is; Do you think it worth to spend your time watching a drama that is totally different than what you used to watch? also what is the most common reason for Korean Dramas increasing?
Two years ago i was one of those people who have huge crush in korean dramas but now i only watch it if I'm bored or something.. I guess the thing that made me love korean drama their honesty when they love and thier traditions..

DeleteWooow!!korean people they always have thier own reactions which i can't understand.. LOOL
ReplyDeletehahahaaah that's right they don't have that kind of reaction we do have in our series,our actors for example when they act as mothers and their child sleep in hospital they really over react to the MAAAAX!! really they cry and that stuff which is not real!! so i guess korean dramas more reasonable.
