| I prefer Korean Dramas although there aren't that many differences. I'm not sure but i guess I'm just digging the style a lot at the moment. I like Korean fashion and the music they use, I think Korean guys are hotttttt too. ^_^ |
| I prefer korean dramas. I find Korean actors better and let's be honest, generally, hotter. Also, I feel like korean dramas are more 'western' if you know what I mean, and I prefer that style when it comes to live action. |
| I prefer Japanese dramas. Korean dramas tend to be too melodramatic and long-winded for my liking. |
| I used to watch both. But after a while, once you watch a few K-dramas, I feel that that's it. The love story pattern is too similar from one to another that I got bored. J-dramas seem to offer more variety. |
| I actually hesitated. I liked both of them ~_~ |
 |
| They are different. I enjoy both. |
| I love korean drama but i watch japense movie |
 |
| I take back my vote. I vote for Korean drama. I've gotten a better taste of them over these past few months and I have to say, I do prefer them. Although both are still great. |

| Korean for drama Japanese for anime :3 |
| i prefer japanese even though my first drama was korean. jap>korean taiwan>korean taiwan?jap korean does the same formula with adding drop dead gorgeous guys, and it's love triangle plot. also there is always someone in the cast that is rich. japanese sucks at doing live actions with the exception of manga and the wallflower, but even though the people are all sexy i find japanese more realistic. plus japanese has good comedy and offer variety. people say japanese act stiff. i don't see it(unless its a live action of an anime), but i do see it in some korean drama. also i am a bigger fan of japanese music and i like the openings in the japanese drama more. plus no asian drama does delinquents better than japanese. kiss scene wise they both suck. taiwan does it the best. i can't decide though out of taiwan and japanese |
The life of a pirate is a short, but merry one. |
| Koreans for me, better acting i guess. japanese dramas just seem to make everything funny or from what ive seen so far. But its not like korea has all these epic animes. |
| I actually like Korean dramas more, too. |
 |
| I like Japanese dramas much better, and I've seen my fair share of both. I feel like Korean dramas have too much sappy and cliche romances while J-dramas branch out into other genres. I've never seen a K-drama as good as Liar Game, for example. |

| I've watched both of them an equal amount (read: equally as little), but if I had to choose which one was better, I'd have to say Korean. They're both "meh" compared to my enjoyment with anime, and atrocious compared to good movies.

| I like the Japanese actors .. Japanese dramas are the most plausible. |
| Dorama is the best... Majisuka Gakuen FTW |
| ok, both kind of dramas are good, contrair to some people opinions their acting isnt bad is just they focus in something else, that we arent use to see beyond that korean dramas are better than the japanese, couse they get more deep, the others are like a bad copy of anime..... |
 |
| They're both terrible; terribly acted and terribly cheesy lol. And all the "hot men" look like girls. Give me a European or American show any day! Now THOSE are good. |
| Japanese people are horrible at acting. |
| As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all. |
| Korean Dramas: More in Depth storylines. Good stuff. |

Now THOSE are good. right id lke to see a us tv studod do a 52 episode historoc drama eatch year hmmm that it they cannot caue us history has been done to death in mpvies ..Wow. Your grammar and English are terrible. The historic dramas that the US has done are usually very good and very well acted. Band of Brothers for example, is superb and brilliantly acted. Another good mention is Roots which is so brutal and amazingly well done. And of course, US historic movies are also usually excellent. (Gone With the Wind, Dances With Wolves etc. etc.) Even their movies about other countries are good. (Schindler's List, The Ten Commandments...etc, etc.) Come on...Asian cinema can't compete with Us or Brit (European) films. Anime films are good though, but then again so are cartoon films. |
| JDramas |
| korean overall, but some jdramas are amazing! also, hana yori dango > boys before flowers |
| Sorry but I like Korean dramas. Lately there haven't been any good japanese dramas out :( |
| Japanese dramas 4ever!! :D |
| I'm loving Korean dramas at the moment they have been so addictive. I have seen a couple of Jdramas. For the moment it has to be Kdramas for the cheesy cliche romance....haven't got bored of them. But I don't mind whether it's J or K drama as long as it has a fantastic and epic story. LOVED City Hunter by the way!!!!!! |

| J-dramas def. Please, please don't start hating on me. Not because I'm sensitive or anything, this just is my own opinion, and I would like to express it. You would be wasting your time to tell me I'm wrong and stupid, because 1. I don't care 2. you make yourself look hateful and narrow minded. I don't wish to keep quiet about my own thoughts when I see so many ignorant, shallow comments about how in Kdramas the guys are cuter, and that's why Kdramas are superior to ugly-men Jdramas. On a side-note, both Jdramas and Kdramas have great actors. DO NOT say orientals all suck, because that is such a disgusting stereotype. I hate it when people judge a drama because 'the guy/s are so ugly, I couldn't watch it!' That's so horribly close-minded, and just a terrible way to choose a drama. Don't a lot of people unused to Kpop/dramas think the men are gross and girly? Yet, fans adore their biases. Japanese faces are different, and after you get more used to them, you see why people think they're good looking. I started out in Kpop/dramas, yet I'm now more in love with Jpop/dramas. They both have great things, but I like Jdramas/pop more because I feel like they put more heart and emotion into it. Jdramas have more variety, for it's not always romance, not always the pretty guy with the pretty girl. Another thing is how Kdramas make their female leads in a princess/damsel role. Not always, but generally they do. I love that in Jdramas, the females are more independent and motivated. A great example of this is in HYD and BOF. BOF was my first drama. EVER. And, oh how I LOVED it. But, once I watched HYD, it became my absolute favorite drama. BOF ruined Makino/Jan-di's character so, so much. Instead of strong, wonderful, and independent, MAKINO, Jan-di sobbed SO MUCH. During the piano scene, while Jan-di looked at Gu Jun Pyo longingly and said that all she knew was love, Makino gazed defiantly at Domyouji and told him that she wishes him happiness. At the end, Jan-di literally threw herself into a pool because a world where Gu Jun Pyo didn't remember her wasn't worth it. Hana Kimi and To the Beautiful You. This one is short, since I didn't finished TTBY, but something I noticed is that the main girl in TTBY came to the school because she just completely adored the sports guy. While in HK came to Japan because even though she still admires Sano/sportsguy she thought is was her fault that he got hurt. I watched HK a long time ago, so I'm not sure it was exactly that. I wouldn't mind if someone cleared that up for me, if my memory fails. (^-^) Ikemen Desu Ne and You're Beautiful. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE YB. It was the original, the first. I really, really like IDN though. Now that I've seen it, I would say they are on the same level. YB is more light-hearted, more silly and cheerful. While IDN is still funny and happy, it's more inspirational. IN YB, the main girl did not do anything spectacular. Yet, in IDN, the main girl came to an orphanage every. single. day. She did her best going there to entertain the children just so A.N. JELL could perform for them, despite all how skeptical everybody was. I love both J and K dramas, that's true. But Jdramas to me make me feel more, for me they are more deep. There's more internal conflict, family, going against the world, motivation, just an amazing variety going on. Kdramas are more focused on romance. While it isn't bad, it gets repetitive. That is my opinion. I just damn near wrote a whole essay to prove that my opinion is thought out and not blindly stated. Everybody has their own thoughts and it's a repugnant thing to easily dismiss and degrade that. I am not trying to put down Kdramas fans, I am telling you I hope you can open up your mind past Jdramas looks, I hope you can stop putting down what other people love insensitively. I may be overreacting, but I'm really tired of this blind, negative criticism of Jpop/dramas. If you actually read through my my over-the-top ranting here, I applaud you for making it through and thank you. |

If you actually read through my my over-the-top ranting here, I applaud you for making it through and thank you. u r a nut ^^ i see your issues with Jan Di - she rots hardcore. She robs Tsukushi of her Tsukushi-ness! But have u seen the anime? It is seriously better than any of the J, T, or K dramas/live actions. (Just saying) I know this is supposed to be a debate between the two, but both K and J drama have their merits. I've seen a ton of each by now and enjoyed them thoroughly on both sides. I truly look forward to what each country has to offer. I almost shit my pants when i watched Coffee Prince. The end was problematic, but the vast majority of it is incredibly well acted and written. And then I think of Hana Kimi -freaking hysterical! but soooo well done. But i digress! (sorry) lets just all get along and watch some good dramas, k? :D (happy post, tx if you actually read) |
drinkbeer said: hong kong dramas > japanese/korean dramas Ambient_ said: I've watched both of them an equal amount (read: equally as little), but if I had to choose which one was better, I'd have to say Korean. They're both "meh" compared to my enjoyment with anime, and atrocious compared to good movies. I've dabbled in Jdramas and a few Kdramas here and there. To be honest, Jdramas have the worst acting to me and I can't stand it... especially anime adaptations. (Q__Q so fakeeee) Korean dramas... well they're primary romance which isn't my genre, and their variety shows aren't as funny as the Japanese ones. And like someone else said, it seems to get repetitive when they're all romance. Kdrama acting is better than Jdrama acting for me, but I still feel like its stiff. I would prefer Hong Kong drama acting despite their stories (Asian dramas can be sooo cheesy). <-- Not saying they suck. If you like Kdramas and Jdramas, good for you. I'm not you. And most people I know who watch Kdramas watch for the pretty boys/ actors... (aka. fangirls). I find that disappointing, but I know that isn't everyone. Japanese variety shows kills me though. Love them. 50/50! They all have their goods and bads. I just prefer anime to all of it. :D |
| I don't care what type of drama. I don't care about the actors or actresses despite my friends gawking at them. Maybe I do care a little, just to bring on the conversation with my friends but other than that, no personal preferences. As long the story's good, I'm all in. |
- I've always... always been watching you... This whole time... Because you were there... That's why I was able to try hard. So you could have some balance! So you wouldn't treat me like a kid! So you would see me as an actual girl! Even while you were gone... You were right here! You were right here in my heart! |
