You named one of the few I really enjoyed - Nobunaga Concerto. I think it did a good job of managing moments and…
" isn't a criticism or competition" - I couldn't agree more, well said! the article was really just seeking opinions, not trying to say either choice was better, although for each of us our personal preferences will influence how we feel about it

Dunno. Modern K-Dramas still feel much different from western TV shows in my opinion, but since I've stopped watching…
thank you for your thoughtful comments. I especially agree with " It can be seen as both positive and negative" - it was something I tried to highlight in the piece too . πŸ‘Œ

Thank you for the interesting article! I am familiar with K dramas having been binge watching them for the past…
Thanks for reading and sharing your reaction - it's nice to know that some of the issues I raised have resonated with many here at MDL

I started watching k-dramas because it felt very Korean to me and different from what I was used to. This made…
Thanks for your reply, I know how you feel. "Dae Jang Geum" was VERY, VERY Korean for sure, and still the ONLY Korean Drama I've watched that was built around a FEMALE genius. As you say, quite different from modern K Dramas.

I'm a fan of k-dramas. I think there are k-dramas aimed at the international market as well, but there are still…
Thanks for taking the time to read and reply. In terms of K Dramas aimed at the domestic market, weekenders would definitely fit that description, and I have several lined up on my PTW :)

J-dramas/movies are less accessible than K or C counterparts, I think that's why there's little viewers. My favorite…
Thanks for reading! I have an article awaiting a second edit that does discuss this accessibility issue, and its effects in a bit more depth :)

Excellent coverage, thank you! So many of the many tropes well covered, a very enjoyable read. Were I to add one it would be the "everyday marriage" that features in really good slice of life Dramas like "Yeah That's How It Is" - couple who've been married for decades and leading ordinary married lives. As someone in that position, seeing it well depicted on screen is an added bonus :)

My to watch list just got longer... Samurai Cat seems to be such a weird show, but might entice my cat loving…
IMO no one pulls off quirky concepts as well as Japan. I think it might be a nice gateway drug for your vict-, I mean, friend πŸ˜‰

i believe majority of the jdramas with less than 1000 viewers on mdl are mainly due to a lack of subs, not necessarily…
I'm sure you're right. That's one of the reasons I didn't describe any of these Dramas as "less popular" or "underrated", simply "less watched" :)
