UNPOPULAR OPINION:
Romcoms are NOT the only cliché dramas, too many crime and sageuk dramas also just always copies of each other. Sageuks recycle Joseon + plotting for throne 90% of the time even lmao.
OCN crime-thrillers are NOT good, TvN & Netflix originals are more creative in plot and FAR superior.
Crime enthusiasts are WAY TOO KEEN Romcom haters because "romcoms are cliché"....Meanwhile K-crime dramas are cliché too LMAO 😅😅😅😅
American/European crime shows are better than asian crime shows imo.
The talent and creativity lies within the dramas that dare to combine MULTIPLE genres
aka.
Vincenzo, Happiness, The Last Empress, Healer etc.
Crime-comedies are superior to OCN crime-thrillers!
Historicals set in 1900s or historical-COMEDIES are better than most pure historicals.
The average Thai historical lakorn shows far more creativity than any korean or other asian countries historicals could only dream of.
Thus,
CRIME AND (korean) HISTORICAL drama deserve the SAME hate as Romcoms get for being CLICHÉ!
