I’m not saying that I’m watching kdramas, cdramas, Thai lakorns or some Taiwanese and jdramas because of the kissing scenes. If it that was the case I would keep watching American tv or movies. My first drama was in 2016 because on my Facebook appeared a video of Lee Min Ho in boys over flowers so I looked for it and since then I haven’t stopped watching dramas. For me they are more entertaining that tv here and are easier to watch too. I watched only kdramas like for two years or less and they are usually 16 episodes except for the dailies that have 100-120 episodes and the weekend dramas that have 50
The kissing in Western entertainment may be more graphic, but that doesn't mean it always good or better. For me, there has to be an emotional element or chemistry and / or the shooting / direction matters. Even in Western entertainment, costume / speculative fiction, usually does it better, because everything is heightened, the stakes are higher, the restraint is greater.
