At the time of my knowledge cutoff, Netflix had already made significant investments in Korean dramas (K-dramas) and had become a major player in distributing K-dramas globally. While Netflix's involvement could have some influence on the production and storytelling aspects, it is important to note that K-dramas have their distinct characteristics and cultural elements that have garnered international popularity.
K-dramas are known for their unique storytelling style, character development, and exploration of various themes rooted in Korean culture and society. This has been a significant part of their appeal to both domestic and international audiences. As such, it is likely that K-drama producers and creators will continue to prioritize maintaining the essence of Korean storytelling, even with Netflix's involvement.
While Netflix may have certain expectations or preferences for certain elements in their productions, they have shown a commitment to working with local talent and production companies, allowing them creative freedom. Many K-dramas on Netflix have still retained their Korean identity and have not been significantly altered to conform to a more "American" style. In fact, some K-dramas have gained even more popularity and recognition through their exposure on the platform.
However, it is important to acknowledge that as the industry evolves and global collaborations increase, there may be some subtle influences or changes in storytelling styles as different cultures merge. These changes could be seen as a natural part of the creative process and adapting to a global audience. Nonetheless, it is expected that K-drama will continue to have its distinct flavor and maintain its appeal by staying true to its cultural roots while incorporating elements of international storytelling.
