A questionnaire for Kdrama lovers

1. In what part of the world do you live? (Either a continent or a country) Mexico

2. What is your mother tongue? Spanish

3. What do you watch more often Kdrama or Western(English language based) TV shows/ movies? 

• I'd say recently I've watched more Kdramas than Western, but I have seen my fair share of western. Movie-wise, I still watch predominantly western films. 

Why do you think that is? 

• Movies, I'd say it's because western movies have more variety to offer. Drama-wise, I like K-dramas because they are short. Whereas, most Western series tend to extend to multiple seasons (sometimes 6+). Having multiple seasons and having to wait long periods of time in between, means that I forget to follow it and end up dropping it without really meaning to. Sometimes I would just wait for the entire series to end before watching it (like I did with LOST and Dexter, to name a few). 
• Another thing I like about Asian Dramas is the refreshing idea that men can cry. I like some of the male protagonists much more than the female ones (unfortunately), since they are most times built with more complexity.

4. What do you think about character development in either of them?

• I think it really depends on the show and its quality. From what I've watched, I'd rank some Western shows way higher, but there's a number of reasons for this. First, they have more seasons to grow the characters out. Second, they tend to take more risks (especially Netflix, AMC and HBO shows), meaning you really do see characters struggle and become stronger as a result. Hulu's "The Handmaid's Tale" is a prime example of great character growth achieved subtly but surely. "Game of Thrones" also show really spot-on character growth. Even some CW shows such as "The 100th", "The Originals" and even "Vampire Diaries" show characters changing leaps and bounds through the seasons in a consistent way. 
• K-dramas lack this ability to really make their characters struggle, especially romance-centered ones. Most times we have a disconnect between what we're told (she's strong) vs what we're shown (she's weak). It's almost like there's a glass ceiling placed on them. So that they can never be better than their male counterparts. In fact, I can count with a hand the number of times the female lead was the real heroine of the story. Or was built as a more interesting character than the male lead. 
• Other times (and this one drives me nuts) there's a lack of true accountability in K-dramas. Male leads are allowed to get away with a lot of things without being held accountable by those who suffer at their hands. There's also this unwillingness to have a cold female lead, with most of them taking a moral guideline/guardian angel/virgin mary who forgives all deeds.  

5. On average do you find that the characters in one are more developed than the other?

• Depends on the series, but in general, I'd say Western characters are more developed. And they are also more unique. That's because once you've watched a number of K-dramas you start to see a lot of patterns/tropes emerging.

6. Is there anything you don’t like about Kdrama?

• Aside from what I've already mentioned, I get this feeling that most times writers are unwilling to put the female lead through real strife (unless it relates in one way or another to the male lead and his feelings for her). And since strife is needed to create a compelling character, that leaves you with many examples of interesting male leads and very few of their counterparts. I think that's also why articles relating to "strong female leads" keep popping out, whereas we never read any regarding "strong male leads". And that's because there's few of the former, too many of the latter.
• I also dislike the awkwardness they showcase when it comes to romance. 
• Oh, and the song choice. I find most romance series have these really cheesy songs that prompt me to turn the volume down. The slow-mo, multiple angles scenes of a certain action can also get on my nerves if overused. 

7. Is there anything you don’t like about Western TV shows?

• Their length.
• The fact that most times series focus too much on sex and not enough on love. For me, it's weird that two characters will sleep together on the third date, yet take forever to say "I love you". Personally, it should be the other way around. 
• The belief that a strong character is the one that hides his or her feelings when emotional intelligence is --for me-- a mark of a great character. Emotional intelligence doesn't mean one must hide their feelings, but rather that they should learn to deal with them in a healthy way. 

8. How and why did you start watching Kdrama?

• I started watching Kdramas halfway through 2017. My gateway drama was Strong Woman Da Bong Song, which Netflix added to their repertoire. I loved the role reversal and proceeded to watch Black (which blew me away) and Korean Odyssey (which was messy but had great composition). The rest is history. 

9. Do you ever go to theatre?

• Movie theater or play theater? I've gone to both, but less to the latter. There aren't enough good plays in the theater of my city. The movie theater I go every weekend. 

10. If yes are you satisfied with the theatre of today? Please specify why yes or no?

• With movies, I'd say no. I think we are craving more interesting stories that make sense. The audience is no longer composed of passive viewers, so directors and writers need to realize this and pay more attention to the details. For every 6 movies, I watch, I'll probably like 1, hate 3 and the rest I'm indifferent towards. 

11. Would you go more often/ enjoy it more if the plot/character development was closer to Kdrama? Please elaborate why?

• No, because the Kdrama movies I've watched suffer from the same issues western movies do. I will probably watch more indie movies if they were available, though. Because since they have to work with a small budget, they tend to take more risks and do interesting stories. 

12. What do you think of character development in today’s theatre?

• It's the same as five years ago. Hopefully, we'll see them change. TBH, books and some games blow character development out of the water. Since I'm a gamer, I tend to have high expectations and thus, get easily disappointed. 

13. Do you prefer watching theatrical works that are character or plot driven? Please elaborate why?

• I have no preference as long as it's a good story. But, to be frank, if the characters aren't at least likable/relatable/understandable, then chances are that I won't care about the story.

Hope that helps! Good luck!

1. In what part of the world do you live? (Either a continent or a country)  Sweden

2. What is your mother tongue? Swedish

3. What do you watch more often Kdrama or Western(English language based) TV shows/ movies? Why do you think that is? Korean dramas at the moment. I don’t like that many western series because I feel like that they just try to make it longer for money purposes. Dragging a story that should have ended 3 seasons ago just destroys the series in my eyes.

4. What do you think about character development in either of them? Korean series can be very shallow, especially the ones that follows a certain trope like ’funny and lighthearted romance’. Although some Kdramas seems to go way deeper than most western ones like Come and Hug Me and My Mister. But generally speaking I feel like western dramas don’t have to follow  the stereotypes surrounding how a woman or a man should be, and because of that they get new kinds of characters that shows a more diversity and depth.

5. On average do you find that the characters in one are more developed than the other? Western series have more developed leads but Kdramas has better villains.

6. Is there anything you don’t like about Kdrama? I often feel like that they’re just revamping the same storyline over and over with different actors. We’ve seen enough medical dramas with the same kind om main leads and enough lawdramas for my lifetime just in the past two years. 

7. Is there anything you don’t like about Western TV shows? They try to make it too complicated and generally I lose the thrill after the first season. I think that I would watch more western series than kdramas if they were kept to one season. ALSO they make terrible romance series. Western countries don’t know how to make anything lighthearted without having too much comedic influences.

8. How and why did you start watching Kdrama? I was curious after seeing my friends mom watching an asian drama (don’t know from which country) so I tried and found it quite cringe in the beginning. Watched stuff like Boys Over Flowers and The Heirs.

9. Do you ever go to theatre? Movie theatre: Yes at least once a month, Real Theatre: Maybe once every 2 years

10. If yes are you satisfied with the theatre of today? Please specify why yes or no? I have multiple movie theatres in my town so Im happy with the big selection! We have one that shows more critically acclaimed movies and foreign ones, so I can watch korean movies on the cinema even though I live in Sweden.  

11. Would you go more often/ enjoy it more if the plot/character development was closer to Kdrama? Please elaborate why? Not really, I feel like the two of them should be kept apart. Korean dramas and western movies are two different things that has it’s own strengths and weaknesses. I feel like when western countries tries to make an ”kdrama”-esque series or movie they just destroy the plot and character-points completely. But I would enjoy if western series would take after the way of making a korean drama in the aspect of lenght of the show.

12. What do you think of character development in today’s theatre? Movies seem to show a generally lower level of character development, this is understandable due to the lack in time on screen. But I wish that they would put more thought into making the characters layered and give them believable motifs for making some of their decisions; Not just makinh them do stupid stuff to drive on the plot.

13. Do you prefer watching theatrical works that are character or plot driven? Please elaborate why? Character no question. I love following a character’s life through their eyes and seeing them change due to the things that happen to them. I feel that plot driven works often skip showing why someone would do an action and just try to go full steam ahead.

1. In what part of the world do you live? (Either a continent or a country). 

• Europe

2. What is your mother tongue? 

• English
  

3. What do you watch more often Kdrama or Western (English language based) TV shows/ movies? Why do you think that is?

• In recent years, I've watched mostly Asian cinema and TV. I like variety so I'm happy to have an alternative source of entertainment, besides Western TV/cinema (which I've more or less become somewhat disillusioned with over the years). Moreover, Asian dramas in general, not just Kdramas, provide a fascinating glimpse into cultures that, prior to my foray into this world, was relatively unknown to me. I've always been a traveler and lover of art, culture  & languages, so also for these reasons there was a natural draw toward Asian TV & cinema. Finally, it's interesting to observe the similarities and differences between and among cultures, including my own.

4. What do you think about character development in either of them?

• I find character development in Asian cinema, and often TV, more unassailable. The characters seem more relatable and human to me; they invoke a lot more emotion in me than any Western character ever had. Asian creatives are preoccupied with depicting human realism (sometimes to a fault), whilst Western movies & shows tend to appeal to idealism. In Asian cinema/TV, when it comes to their most complex characters, they are neither saints nor villains, there are many, many shades of grey. I can often find myself having very strong reactions to the actions and behaviours of certain characters, wondering how I would handle a similar situation (Temptation) OR understanding a character's motivation to act a certain way, even though I may strongly disagree with the behaviour overall (Golden Empire). In Western shows, the heroes/heroines are often presented with almost god-like proportions, morally superior & are almost never at fault. While they may make mistakes, they just never feel as profound or poignant as their Asian counterparts. As such, I'm often left indifferent, neither liking nor disliking them.

5. On average do you find that the characters in one are more developed than the other?

• Now it's been a minute since I've followed a western series so my memory may be a bit hazy. I remember years ago I was quite impressed with the character development in The Tudors, particularly Henry V & a few other characters. Also, to an extent, Prison Break (T-Bag). In general, I think I tend to like the characterizations in Asian cinema & certain dramas (genre dependent) more. As I said before, they're more relatable and human to me, but Western cinema get it right, in a way that I like, sometimes.

6. Is there anything you don’t like about Kdrama?

• Lots! Which is why I can only take them in small doses. I dislike the mass-produced, lazy, cliche, formulaic writing. Every genre has a very rigid formula from which it basically never steers clear and it gets pretty tedious and frustrating, if you watch a particular genre long enough. Somehow, I can't remember having similar reactions to Western shows, which are far more diverse in storytelling and character arc types. Due to cultural considerations, there's a limit to what can be shown on network TV in Korea. Some aspects of Korean society are completely shut out from mainstream TV. Can you imagine a drama like The Client List on Korean TV? I sure can't. Mistress was a flop for exactly the reason why a Korean The Client List wouldn't work. The subject matter was too provocative for general audiences, even on 'cable' TV. There's also the issue of maintaining "societal harmony", something that's rooted in Confucianism - the moral compass of Korean society. So certain gender roles & stereotypes are hardly ever questioned. Moving on, I absolutely hate how orchestrated, awkward and fake intimacy in Kdramas is portrayed. I also dislike meddling parents who want to totally run their adult children's lives & that these children very rarely check this behaviour (as is quite typical in real life in SK). This is another example of TV being used to condition people's behaviour .... in this case, toward filial piety, another pillar of the Confucianist value system.

7. Is there anything you don’t like about Western TV shows?

• How preachy they get sometimes. I'm relatively conservative, so a lot of this new age stuff I'm not into. I like alpha males (within reason). I don't like how feminized and metrosexual men in western shows have become. And like many others I hate that you have to wait years for the conclusion of your favourite shows. This is not to say, these issues don't also appear in Asian dramas (with the exception of seasonal shows), they do ... but I find that they're more rare or there's slightly more variety of shows that are more to my taste/values/interests.

8. How and why did you start watching Kdrama?

• I work on & off in the film industry (producer, sometimes writer/director). In 2011 I went to the Berlinale Film Festival in Berlin, Germany. I met Hyun Bin (without knowing it was HYUN BIN... LOL!). He was there with a movie called Come Rain, Come Shine. It was weird, I still don't know if I like it or not, but I saw lots of other amazing Asian films and thought cool ... I should check out Asian cinema more. But after the festival, life happened and I forgot about it all. Then 2012 rolled in, I went to another festival & saw Nameless Gangster with Ha Jung Woo (who I vaguely recalled from CR,CS). Don't really know how I could've forgotten him because the man was and is so damn charismatic on screen! His performance in Nameless Gangster was the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back. I went online to find more of his films & fell into a rabbit hole! Haven't looked back since!

9. Do you ever go to theatre?

• So I call 'movie theatre' cinema, and will refer to it as such from here on out because referring to a cinema as 'theatre' is just too confusing for me! LOL I used to go to the cinema a lot in my teenage and young adult years, before movies and shows became so widely available on streaming sites, both legal and illegal. Now, outside of film festivals I basically never go to the cinema unless its for 'special' occasions. Like a date or as a group event, or if I particularly want to see a film on the big screen. Also when I'm traveling I usually like to visit the local cinema at least once, just to mingle with the locals & people watch (when I'm not watching the movie of course :).
  
  Real theatre, as in stage theatre, I do. But it's been ages. Last time I went to the theatre was in London ... I want to say around 2010 or 2011. I saw Cat On A Hot Tin Roof with James Earl Jones. It was fantastic experiencing that amazing, booming voice of his up close and personal, rather than through a TV screen. Prior to that, I'd gone to some shows on Broadway in New York City. I should go again soon, now that you remind me. I love the theatre!

10. If yes are you satisfied with the cinema* of today? Please specify why yes or no?

• I don't tend to keep up with mainstream cinema. I'm particularly interested in cinema as an art form so my preferences are arthouse films & artistic genre films, in particular thrillers, mysteries & suspense. These aren't typically available in traditional Western cinema, esp the former, so I mostly depend on film festivals to find the type of films I like. These days Western cinema seem to be overrun with superhero movies & I'm not really into that. Therefore, in that sense, I've not been satisfied with mainstream cinema. I also find a lot of the stories Western creatives want to tell, I'm not interested in. When it comes to Asian cinema, I can mostly find what I'm looking for, but I'm often disappointed by how they handle romantic drama, one of my favourite genres. Otherwise know as melodrama among Asian audiences, but in the West, melodrama is a sub genre of drama. In other words, not the same. Western cinema does this genre better, which gives it that one little edge over Asian cinema.

11. Would you go more often/ enjoy it more if the plot/character development was closer to Kdrama? Please elaborate why?

• Well, no. Not in terms of plot, at least. And I certainly don't want the awkward 'conservativedness' of intimacy as portrayed in Kdramas. Perhaps characterization, which I do think Koreans tend to do better when they attempt to draw a complex character. Otherwise, Western and Asian cinema work according to their prevailing cultures. When you try to Westernize a uniquely Asian story (eg. Boys Over Flower) & try to Asianize a uniquely Western story (Entourage) ... very rarely does it translate well, because of the cultural implications. On the other hand, a show like The Good Wife might pass since infidelity is a universal experience. I also like that there's that variety to choose from, so no reason for one to be more like the other in all things. Sometimes when I'm tired of the Asian formula, I seek out Western cinema. When I'm tired of the Western formula, I seek out Asian cinema.

12. What do you think of character development in today’s cinema*?

• I think it's pretty good if you go outside of traditional mainstream cinema and watch world cinema. The most profound films I've ever watched are not from the mainstream. That is not to say mainstream cinema never produce great characters, but I think world cinema is where you find those really intricate characterizations that leave a lasting impression on your memory, and make you think of the character/movie months, years after you've seen it. I love to support these brilliant filmmakers from around the world who never get the recognition they duly deserve.

13. Do you prefer watching cinematic* works that are character or plot driven? Please elaborate why?

• If I can choose, I'd choose cinematic works that are BOTH character and plot driven because I believe this is when cinema crosses over from being mere entertainment to being an art form. Usually when a picture achieves this, it is the calling card of a master storyteller (writer/director). In general, though, I have no preference as I appreciate great artistic expressions in all forms. So if I can only get one, but not the other ... I'll take it.
  
  *Changed for personal linguistic purposes
  

1. In what part of the world do you live? (Either a continent or a country)

Finland

2. What is your mother tongue?

Finnish

3. What do you watch more often Kdrama or Western(English language based) TV shows/ movies? Why do you think that is?

At the moment mostly Kdramas. Western shows tend to never end and you are always waiting for the next season, that you may never be able to watch, because the network doesn't renew the contract or it just ends because it wasn't profitable. For older, completed shows, you'd have to buy DVD boxes that are expensive or you need to buy them internationally. I also have a soft spot for the culture; it's so different from where I'm from.

(Western means for me mostly American, I don't watch enough British shows)

4. What do you think about character development in either of them? 

Both mediums have their downsides. Western series span multiple seasons worth of character development: lots of things happen. But sometimes writing gets worse and/or characters stagnate: writers must be scared that we would stop watching if the main couple finally got together without misunderstandings etc. In Kdramas they have lots of fixed tropes (well so does western media) but they produce so much similar content that they are easier to spot. Filming and writing week by week and changes that come from immediate audience feedback can sometimes be hurtful for consistent character development. But you also know that there will be end and with good and consistent writing, character development is easier to see. Both mediums still bring unforgettable characters to life.

5. On average do you find that the characters in one are more developed than the other?

I think western dramas have the problem of stagnation but usually if the show is a short series with an ending, the characters get more development than your typical Kdrama. But the really good, outstanding Kdramas usually win regarding character development: in my opinion shows are more focused on characters in Kdramaworld.

6. Is there anything you don’t like about Kdrama? 

The usual tropes and sometimes very old fashioned ways of thinking that can be found in dramas. Many dramas also lack good female characters.

7. Is there anything you don’t like about Western TV shows?

Multiple seasons with writing that keeps getting worse and worse. I'd like to see more short series.

8. How and why did you start watching Kdrama?

I was an avid manga and anime fan and at that time I also watched some j-dramas from Crunchyroll. They didn't blow me away at the time. One youtuber that I followed started to react to this one small kdrama called You are Beautiful but never finished. So this one evening when I didn't have anything to do I decided to check it out, because I remembered that the show seemed completely bonkers and hilarious. And rest is history! It's actually kind of funny that my first kdrama was by accident the typical gateway kdrama. It was also great bridge from japanese content since the ML is so tsundere.

9. Do you ever go to theatre?

Rarely. I would like to go more: my friends aren't really interested in those things and many of them live too far away. Also tickets are expensive.

10. If yes are you satisfied with the theatre of today? Please specify why yes or no?

I'd say yes. Many plays are adaptations of books, I'd like to see more original content. But I guess adaptations attract at least some audiences. Theatre as an art form has more impact when it takes risks. Last performance I went to, actors were naked some of it. It was quite an experience. Magnificent story though, based on a book, again.

11. Would you go more often/ enjoy it more if the plot/character development was closer to Kdrama? Please elaborate why?

I'd say no. I like to keep my interests seperate. At least I don't think it would translate well to Finnish theatre.  But I think it might be worth the risk and fusion works are always interesting.

12. What do you think of character development in today’s theatre?

I don't go to theatre enough to make assumptions.

13. Do you prefer watching theatrical works that are character or plot driven? Please elaborate why?

It's mostly about the final execution, but usually I love both character driven and plot driven works. Character driven works tend to work better because in plot driven works, if the characters are too flat, you might not care about the plot part, but good characters can save a lot. In theatre I don't like too abstract works; I like to do some thinking but in the theatre I want to experience and feel the weight of feelings and actions on stage, and not be confused all the way through. This is mostly because you can't rewind the stage performance the way you would a movie that needs analysing.

1. In what part of the world do you live? (Either a continent or a country) - Philippines

2. What is your mother tongue? - Tagalog

3. What do you watch more often Kdrama or Western(English language based) TV shows/ movies? Why do you think that is? - I watch Kdramas and Chinese dramas more than  Western ones. I feel like Western dramas tend to just do all the sing and dance to extend the series. Also, I feel like I just lost  interest in watching Western dramas . Kdramas are just right especially for people who are busy with their lives. Just 2-4 episodes a day is enough to be able to finish a drama in 3 or 4 days. 

6. Is there anything you don’t like about Kdrama? Sometimes, you feel that the episodes are not enough and you keep wanting for the drama to be extended. 

7. Is there anything you don’t like about Western TV shows? Length

8. How and why did you start watching Kdrama? I grew up watching dubbed Kdramas on TV because it became very popular where I'm from. I think I was like 10 years old at that time, but I just started binge watching 2 months ago. LOL! 

9. Do you ever go to theatre? Last time I went was 2 years ago. LOL! 

10. If yes are you satisfied with the theatre of today? Please specify why yes or no? Yes, I am. It's the people that I have  issues with. Some are just very inconsiderate while watching and I just get pissed and distracted the whole time. 

13. Do you prefer watching theatrical works that are character or plot driven? Please elaborate why?  It's always the plot for me.

1. In what part of the world do you live? (Either a continent or a country)

Europe

2. What is your mother tongue?

Greek

3. What do you watch more often Kdrama or Western(English language based) TV shows/ movies? Why do you think that is?

After I started listening to Kpop I started watching Kdramas and certainly two years later I would tell you that I am mostly watching Kdramas. In the movies section I watch both western and Korean movies, but again mostly Korean. 

About the series : They have a conclusion, a certain amount of episodes and most of the don't have seasons and that means that I actually finish them and I don't stop on the 5th season for example in a western series (mostly talking about the US ones). They also don't try to entertain people with violence and I admire the fact that they have great character depictions and growth (not all of them obviously) in a small number of episodes.

About the movies: I am more into the psychological/drama genre and Korean movies are great in that subject. Their characters are most of the times as human as possible with their doubts and flaws (Taxi driver), some don't tend to have heroes (Oldboy, I saw the devil). I don't know what to say exactly but the are more of my taste.

4. What do you think about character development in either of them?

Both western series and Kdramas have good character development (obviously depending on the series), but what I like about a good Kdrama is that you get attached and see the characters growth in a smaller amount of episodes without seeming like it is done poorly , something that I believe is difficult.

5. On average do you find that the characters in one are more developed than the other?

See question 4

6. Is there anything you don’t like about Kdrama?

I don't like the fact that most of them belong in the romance genre, even though in the past years this has changed with series like Children of nobody, The guest, Save me and many others. That includes clichés like constant misunderstandings, seeing the kiss in 3 different angles, the girl being dependent on the guy and others.

7. Is there anything you don’t like about Western TV shows?

Besides the amount of the episodes that I mentioned, they overuse violence for entertainment purposes. Also, that may sound weird, but even though some have (or could have) a great meaning they mostly don't leave any impact on me as much as Korean dramas do.  

8. How and why did you start watching Kdrama?

I started listening to Kpop and after that I wanted to learn a few things about their movie and series productions as I like both so I started with movies like Oldboy and then mostly because of BTS I watched my first drama, Hwarang. In a way Korean dramas play better with my feelings.

9. Do you ever go to theatre?

I rarely go. It must be something really interesting for me to watch a play as the greatest plays are far away from where I live.

10. If yes are you satisfied with the theatre of today? Please specify why yes or no?

I can't judge that as I rarely go.

11. Would you go more often/ enjoy it more if the plot/character development was closer to Kdrama? Please elaborate why?

I believe that the theatre is a great art and a good play is a good play. I would go only if something seems very interesting to me and comparing theatre with Kdramas is impossible firstly because they are too different things (Kdramas-> 16+ episodes, theatre -> 2+ hours). Plus without watching a play I can't be sure of the character development.

12. What do you think of character development in today’s theatre?

See above.

13. Do you prefer watching theatrical works that are character or plot driven? Please elaborate why?

Probably both. A good plot is meaningless without character development and a character can't grow if not of the plot.

1. In what part of the world do you live? (Either a continent or a country)

Sweden.

2. What is your mother tongue?
Swedish

3. What do you watch more often Kdrama or Western(English language based) TV shows/ movies? Why do you think that is?
I watch more kmovies than kdrama or Western series/movies. Why I prefer kmovies over the others is because I like how Koreans make their movies, especially the dark and tragic ones. Also theor comedy is my kind of humor, I've never understood Western comedy, especially not American, Brittish or Swedish comedy because it's often sexual jokes or cursing words.

4. What do you think about character development in either of them?
They've often more character development in American series because they've more episodes (often a lot of seasons) so they can take their time to do it, while I don't think kdrama have that much of it - it depends on what you watch etc.

5. On average do you find that the characters in one are more developed than the other?
It's kinda the same question, so just look on the answer on the question before.

6. Is there anything you don’t like about Kdrama?
What I don't like is that when they have a strong female lead, she often become weak later during the kdrama, like she has turned 180 degrees just because she likes someone and be incapable of doing almost anything. For me, that's a big downgrade, so I often drop those dramas and try to finish watching it some other time.

7. Is there anything you don’t like about Western TV shows?
Look what I wrote on question 3.

8. How and why did you start watching Kdrama?
I wanted to give it a try back in high school because I had listen to kpop for like 3 years back then. I knew about kdrama, but it took time for me to try it because I thought it would be like Western drama series. Ofc I saw that it really wasn't the same thing when I tried to watch it, but the first kdrama (Boys Over Flowers)  was a disappointment for me because I thought they had change too much of a story that I like, I had read the original story (manga) before. 

9. Do you ever go to theatre?
No, I've never been a big fan of it. Last time I went on a theatre was back in 2016.

- I skip the rest of the questions because it's only about theatre -
