| I like Korean and Taiwanese dramas. I would watch more J-dramas if they make it accessible. I mean a lot of people on Dramafever complained about the lack of J-dramas catalog. |
| K-drama mostly, but J-drama have a few great ones like litre of tears. also C-drama has possible the objectively best drama up to date called "Nirvana in Fire" in english, all the drama "elitists" have been praising this for a while now, though in general, c-drama ain't that great. It's kinda new so maybe you guys will hear about it more in due time. |

| I prefer Korean Dramas :) My favourite one is Doctor Stranger |

| My all-time favourite tv-shows will be always classic HK-dramas from the 90s and 80s. Too bad that back in that time internet didn't exist yet, so they aren't that well-known like the j-dorama and k-dramas nowadays. Back to k-drama vs j-dorama: In terms of romance K-drama seem to use the same overdramatic formula and I'm not a fan of love triangles. Japanese slice of life shows are more realistic and less melodramatic. However, koreans are more creative in storytelling, esp in sageuk and makjang. And I think that korean actors are overall more convincing. Especially in the shows pre-2010. The actors didn't look too idol-ish, while many from the newer shows look so plastic. Japanese don't focus too much on perfect outlook which makes their shows more relatable and realistic. |

I found out 2 weeks ago that TVB has shelved 5 of their dramas for being low quality. Also when you watch TVB production, they can't really hold candle compared to K-dramas and Taiwanese dramas. shiroi-ookami said: Back to k-drama vs j-dorama: In terms of romance K-drama seem to use the same overdramatic formula and I'm not a fan of love triangles.

But I'm starting to see K-dramas doing more creative thing like for example have you watched these dramas: The Village: Achiara's Secret (this one is a bit different from your usual K-dramas) D-day: and Descendent of the sun from KBS looks very promising: |

Nordavind said: Story: Japanese drama wins this one. Korean drama always follow the clichés and makes you bored after some time. Japanese dramas are tend to have different story and far to clichés even if genres are the same. Did you ever watch the period Korean drama like Dae Jang Geum/Jewel in the Palace, The Moon embracing the sun, and Empress Ki. Because it's hard to find a Japanese period drama (On Dramafever, we only have 2 period dramas from Japan), there's a lot of good period drama from South Korea: Also a lot of modern drama are starting to diverse to non-romance sector like for example. The Village: Secret of Aichara: Angry Mom: Healer: D-Day: Even the upcoming drama from KBS, Descendent of the Sun looks very promising: There are 2 dramas from South Korea which I never seen Japan or any other Asian (except Mainland China) were able to do, a 20 episode war drama I mean look below: I mean I never seen any J-dramas nor Taiwanese dramas able to make a war drama like these 2 from South Korea. So for me South Korea kinda win for diversifying the storyline. I do agree J-dramas has some good one but the problem for J-drama is international accessibility. |

The problem is that K-dramas, and K-pop (along with Taiwanese dramas) are taking up my J-dramas viewing times. I'm currently watching 2 of them (the J-drama version of Itazura Na Kiss, and this one I forgot the name and it looks like CR no longer has it). I tried watching J-dramas on other sites but it slow down my browser and my computer so I don't want to risk it. Also the other alternative sites that is not CR, Dramafever, and Viki have bad resolution when I watched the drama, so it turned me off from trying to watch drama. Also information about J-dramas is hard to find. I mean do you have any J-drama news website equivalent to Dramabeans, Kdramastarz, and Hancinema. Because that's how I get my news about K-dramas. Taiwanese dramas may not have these news info like their K-drama counterpart. But at least they export them and take the international market seriously like their Korean counterpart and unlike their Japanese counterpart. Also, even when J-dramas get picked up for CR, Dramafever, and Viki, it doesn't get the same # of views or popularity like their Korean and Taiwanese dramas. Only maybe 1 or 2 J-dramas get the same popularity like their Korean and Taiwanese counterpart. Itazura Na Kiss, and My Little Lover - Minami Kun No Koibito. Other J-dramas on that site don't get the same popularity, any explanation why? Nordavind said: Yeah i watched all of them but i talked about modern era dramas not historical ones.

Then it shouldn't be an issue for you since that show has English subtitle. In case if you didn't know, the show is on Viki. |

mdo7 said: **snip* Okay, I get it ^^, personal timeslot also problem in mine, talk as entertainment in general(movie, tv series, or anime) it's already been long watchlist to begin with, it's just matter priority :) as u're prefer more k-drama ... And yes proper resolution on other site was sometimes problem too here even for me, example I'm really like mahoro ekimae(a really good midnight slot j-drama), but it won't get any better resolution I bet, -- my guessing for that Like usual the viewer of j-drama itself is so cult nowaday, even not all of anime fan even like to watch it and many of them pick k-drama Also mostly the viewer themselves that did not have problem watch both (like u) tend to watch k-drama first rather j-drama, bcoz it's good to you and more accesible, it's normal, and yes , I think I will do that too, if those title ur mentioned on the list only the option for me on those sites... Talk quality, I think the story did not have the many problem between drama(whether j-drama, k-drama, or taiwan drama) only it talk tasted to some typical storyline/genre or how viewer feel about other nation, humanly, on gestures or behavior, like here in my place my friend will always thing that japanese acting is somehow overreact and wooden or like to claim all the actress they've seen as JAV(they too watch porn I guess, hell japan AV so popular here in bad way) o.O, but as I'm more familiar I'm not feel that much.. Also mostly have few on production value compared to k-drama In correct way I have no idea though why it's not so popular beside it overwhelmed by other and overwhelmed by k-drama, but I think it's related the decline of many japanese fanbase + narrow accessibility, but of course j-drama have lot enough(in term of cult) in other regular site from what I've seen, talk "psycho-drama" it's always update for the latest j-drama, for info about the titles I just sacrifice my time searching in anyplace I can find though.. |

Yes good way to describe my issues and problems with J-dramas. I watch Taiwanese dramas as I stated. I'm also branching out to Mainland Chinese dramas due to my love for Wuxia/Kung fu and period drama. semss said: my guessing for that Like usual the viewer of j-drama itself is so cult nowaday, even not all of anime fan even like to watch it and many of them pick k-drama It get worse, on a Onehallyu thread one person even asked why fans of K-dramas aren't branching out to other Asian dramas like not only J-dramas, but also Mainland Chinese dramas. But I've seen evidence of K-dramas fan branching out to Taiwanese dramas despite Taiwanese pop culture ain't as big as their Korean counterpart. This is why I don't mind if J-dramas get Korean remake. I mean I doubt Dramafever, CR, or Viki will ever get this drama:  If South Korea can remake this drama, then I wouldn't have a reason to watch the original J-drama. Same thing for Ama-Chan, none of the legal streaming site is able to acquire it. So if South Korea can remake Ama-Chan then it would work for me  For the Korean remake, I wouldn't mind Rena Nonen's character can be played by Uee of After School (given her excellent swimming skill in real life):  So if a J-drama get a Korean remake, then I don't need to bother with the J-dramas unless the Korean remake got popular and Japan decided to make the original available, I'll watch the original. semss said: In correct way I have no idea though why it's not so popular beside it overwhelmed by other and overwhelmed by k-drama, but I think it's related the decline of many japanese fanbase + narrow accessibility, but of course j-drama have lot enough(in term of cult) in other regular site from what I've seen, talk "psycho-drama" it's always update for the latest j-drama, for info about the titles I just sacrifice my time searching in anyplace I can find though.. It's not only J-dramas that suffer from lack of popularity, dramas from Hong Kong (like TVB, which is very well-known in Asia) also suffer from lack of popularity. I mean since 2014, DF have been showing HK dramas, and none of them got the same popularity like their Korean and Taiwanese counterpart. God even 2 of TVB's best dramas, War and Beauty (on Viki): and Heart of Greed (on Dramafever): Despite both of them won many awards and being critically acclaimed in all of Asia, both of them didn't get the same popularity like their Korean and Taiwanese drama counterpart. So this make me question if people would watch the original drama if South Korea remake them. I say this because I found when 3 Taiwanese dramas got Korean remake, fans of K-dramas started to watch the original Taiwanese version on Dramafever and Viki (the opposite also worked too like for example a lot of K-drama fans watched the Taiwanese remake of You're Beautiful when it became available on Dramafever and Viki. And yes it got popular amongst fans of the original K-drama). When Bu Bu Jing Xin/Scarlet Heart was announced to get a Korean remake, it got a lot of buzz and attention from K-drama fans (it also got US co-production and investment involved). So I'm hoping the Korean remake can get popular enough amongst non-Asian western audiences so the original Chinese drama can get pick up on Dramafever and Viki. So this make me question: would people on Dramafever and Viki watch TVB's War and Beauty and Heart of Greed if they get Korean remake? If the Korean remake of those 2 TVB drama got popular, would people start watching the original dramas the same way K-dramas fan ended up watching the 3 Taiwanese dramas after it got Korean remake? What do you think @semss?? |
| To tell the truth, I haven't seen any Japanese dramas but I have seen a lot of historical Korean dramas on TV, and they were all great. The costumes were really nice, the setting was greatly done too, and the acting was amazing. Korean dramas are definitely great. |
| @mdo7 Yeah I agree with that, if somehow a remake version can lead fan have interest to the original version. I have np with that, even for ama-chan , and Ama or traditional woman diver itself also available on korean culture from what I've heard, though it sound problematic bcoz of it was NHK show and the format, which is asadora, which is not like usual drama Ur recommend sound good, just make sure she can go traditional there, but here I still side with nounen rena Jejeje ^^ ----- As for c-drama, taiwan drama, or hk drama I'm not too familiar(maybe only taiwan drama have booming here long before, at my sis era, talk meteor garden),but shipping popularity with remake it shouldn't bad idea ---- The problem with remake maybe, did it caught k-drama producer, I mean if ppl in korea not interested/not so popular there in s.korea I've heard before that nodame cantabile already got that treatment remake, and that happen I think bcoz it have huge following in s. Korea (it's like them love juri ueno there) |

To be honest, don't worry about about terms in English you don't understand when you watch it in English subtitles.

It make the adaptation easier to translate to for the Korean remake. Regarding the format for the Korean remake, yes I'm aware of the Asadora drama being unique from other Asian drama. I got a way to adapt Ama-Chan from a 15 minute 156 episodes to maybe 20-30 episodes (each of them should be an hour) for the Korean remake. If you can combine 4 episodes from the original, and adapt it to a 1 hour format for the Korean remake. I think it could work and the story in Ama-chan is easy to be translated and localized for a Korean setting. That's the only way it'll work. semss said: The problem with remake maybe, did it caught k-drama producer, I mean if ppl in korea not interested/not so popular there in s.korea I've heard before that nodame cantabile already got that treatment remake, and that happen I think bcoz it have huge following in s. Korea (it's like them love juri ueno there) Actually I know couple of K-dramas that didn't do well in South Korea, but became successful outside of South Korea. Have you ever watch the Korean version of Itazura Na Kiss? That drama was an example of flopping locally but was internationally successful. So you see in case if the remake didn't do well in Korea, it can do well outside of South Korea. The Korean remake of Ama-chan can do well in South Korea, and also as long as the cast for the Korean remake has big name cast it can do well amongst international audiences. As I said, if you want K-drama and Taiwanese dramas fan to branch out to other Asian dramas, you have to remake the drama into a popular format and I see Korean dramas is the only one that is widely accepted outside of Asia. |
| @mdo7 well idk the popularity of the manga/anime for itazura no kiss in korea before, but at least it caught producer attention or production house there first, then I guess it just problem of time to be realized, even if it end to be not successfull domestic compared to foreign market... k-drama and k-movie already adapted couple from many japan resources long b4 (talk anime, manga, j-drama), But I still in doubt for ama-chan besides the format(I'm thinking like that too about the episode ^^ which is fine), because the licensed by NHK maybe not as easy as it sound, maybe, bcoz I've not heard any side already adapted their drama from what I've known(for NHK) , but if korean production house have interest, it's just matter of negotiation I guess.. *i found it's find for shipping popularity for content like drama series or movie because it was adaptable medium from what I've seen |
