Especially girls they are crazy over it , so why do you watch Korean Drama?  |
 |
| Because they're pretty guys, that's the whole appeal of K-pop and K-Dramas. |

| I dont watch Kdramas but I do enjoy some Jdramas (the ones some AKB appears lol), why? the same reason people on here watch anime or listen to jpop, its entertaining and most of them are really fun too. |

| I don't know OP but please take and absorb these wise words from thuggaaa |

| Quick answer: Really good looking actors/actresses Great sense of humor They know how to do a good love story They tend to be charming as hell, and fairly clever They're usually really fun??? Quicker answer: Really pretty asian boys. /end thread |
 |
| Why do people like To Love Ru or Sakura Trick? I'm sure its because of the amazing story behind them. |
 |
| @Clamor who the fuck is thuggaaa and what does black music has to do my thread You know they use plastic surgery , i would u dare say that if u have seen their original face , i don't mean the fake one |

And is paying someone to enhance your looks (or correct flaws) supposed to be a bad or shameful thing? I've already seen a lot of photos of k-pop idols before they got their boy-band makeover, and yeah, in most cases there's a huge difference, but honestly who cares? I doubt most drama fans are living in some little bubble where they think these people were born looking absolutely flawless, lol. Hell, even just getting a stylist and a proper makeup artist can do wonders for just about anyone. If you're unable to find them attractive purely because of the imagined horrors of the celebrity/idol transition process then I don't know what to say. |

| I don't really know, the genre I listen the most is metal but I actually love KPop and JPop. There's something in it that makes me listen to it a lot. |

|
| don't really watch korean dramas but i do listen a little bit to k-pop, mostly the group big bang. why? the songs are actually pretty cool |
AllenVonStein said: @Clamor who the fuck is thuggaaa and what does black music has to do my thread You know they use plastic surgery , i would u dare say that if u have seen their original face , i don't mean the fake one Not all of them are fake, some of them are just born ridiculously good looking, and the rest get plastic to look better. It works too lol |
AllenVonStein said: You know they use plastic surgery , i would u dare say that if u have seen their original face , i don't mean the fake one Pretty much every celebrity has had work done, it isn't just Korean ones. Hell, even Marilyn Monroe had a nose job (possibly more). It's not like this shit is news to anyone. Plastic surgery does not mean I'm not allowed to have a huuuuuge ladyboner for Jaejoong, Kiseop, and Luhan. Edit: AND G-DRAGON HOW COULD I FORGET G-DRAGON |
| Because I'm Korean and I grew up with it. Although, I don't watch it much anymore. Lots of Korean drama are trash (same love story bullshit) but there are some really great god tier ones like Giant and East of Eden. |

| i like historical k-dramas. the acting, the clothes design, the setting, the sword fight are all well-done. never cared about k-pop though. |

I don't, however, see what that has to do with prettyboy celebs. |

Most of them are like that because they're young, though, and definitely grow out of it. It's like One Direction fans and Bieber fans, they're just dumb kids with an obsession. Pic related:  |

DreamingBeats said: ^that pics..it takes weebness to a new level >.> (technically not weeb, but not sure if there's a better word) Koreaboo. I personally listen to kpop, but I haven't watched many k-dramas. I just love the kind of music they tend to put out, because it's really catchy edm stuff and the different concepts they have in videos. Not to mention the solo artists are equally amazing as the groups, because the singers actually tend to have really powerful voices, like K.will and Ailee. |
| Why do people like J-Pop Why do people like Idol Groups Why do people like anything I wonder why |
| Well I got to thank @semss for bringing me here. I guess people like K-dramas because it's different from US or UK TV shows. Also you musn't forget that many K-dramas are also anime fans, why do you think the K-dramas adaptation of Boys over Flowers, Itazura Na Kiss got very popular and led to maybe a lot of anime fans to branch out to K-dramas. AllenVonStein said: Especially girls they are crazy over it , so why do you watch Korean Drama? Also I like to add even before Boys over Flowers K-drama became well-known and popular around the world. K-dramas was gaining fanbases in early 2000's. These articles may help you get a better understanding: 2004 article from Chicago Tribune-Korean soaps lure unlikely audience 2006 article from Associated Press-Korean Drama Craze Reaches United States 2006 Hawaiian magazine article-Hello to Hallyu: HAWAI‘I IS CRAZY FOR KOREAN DRAMAS, AND EVEN PLAYED A ROLE IN INTRODUCING THEM TO MAINLAND AUDIENCES. I hope these help. |
| @Rinshansan @hoopla123 i thought u were Muricans so you are korean i guess i was wrong. what do u think of this murican here it's an old video btw , He is pissed becz USA is being brainwashed by K pop |

| The story is always really over-dramatic and funny. (Sounds familiar? So is anime). |
| Koreaboos are scary as fuck! Has anyone actually seen K-drama? It's fucking TRASH! The acting is abysmal....but who cares cuz they all look soooo pretty! And K-Pop? It's like going back to 1999-2000 when we had boy bands here in America talking about "Baby this and Baby that"... Look, if you like that....OK, cool....but stop acting like that shit is something special or unique! |
God bless CopperCab....what a brilliant Troll he was back in the day. |
| I hate their asses. But hey, we like japanse cartoons, who are we to judge? |
| Korean dramas are just terrible. I've seen a decent amount, and they all have the exact same cliches. It feels like I'm watching the same old shit. Not my type of shows. K pop mostly sucks, but I know that Psy and G dragon have some damn good songs. I can't really fuck with that k pop shit though. Grown wearing makeup, plastic surgery, skinny jeans, etc. Fuck that feminine ass shit. |
deg said: pretty people lots of dudes that looks like a lady too thats fangrils get wet over They are wearing lots of makeup so they deceptively seem to be effeminate, but they are under a strict training regiment to stay in shape so under those clothes most kpop stars have six packs and could wreck your ass. They are both pretty and strong, what else could you ask for in a man? |
| Because nowadays TV station import Korean dramas... |
| Imagine being a dude in Korea and actually looking masculine with a square face, masculine, and with body hair... You're fucked! Only effeminate hair-less dudes wearing more makeup than girls are getting all the pussy! Well played K-Pop. |
| Wow, a bunch of people bumped a 4 year old thread just to tout their ethnocentrism. CRINGE!!! I'll tell you why I like K-pop. They're bringing in international producers to constantly push the boundaries of music, and music messaging through music videos, in a way that has not been imitated in any other country. In Korea, indie, R&B, and ballads are big, and because they're one foot in the hip hop culture, they're free from all the trappings of American hip hop that's so obsessed with violence and success. And part of that is the same reason Japanese metal bands could effortlessly switch between metal and pop, whereas metal bands are constricted to this lame "hardcore" badass front that's been steeped in the industry for too long. I guess that's why Marty Friedman of Megadeth moved to Japan! But back to Kpop. Nowhere else will you hear production with so many layers and instruments that seem so fine tuned to push an emotional effect. The production is where Kpop bands have left Jpop and Cpop -- and American pop -- in the dust. They have hired American industry heads and learned from the best. Whereas American pop music is often that same old loop throughout the whole song, Kpop infuses various genres of jazz, soul, big band, rock, reggae, and others, where every song has a drop and chorus instrumentation that sounds significantly different. They've mastered adding snares and percussion to develop subsequent verses, to keep the production on the edge. To summarize, Kpop isn't lazy like American music. And as for dramas, I don't really watch dramas, but Korean movies have taken that old movie feel and mastered the formula. And if you hate the actors because they have a better skincare regime than you, then that's your own insecurity speaking. |

Romaki26 said: Kpop is a lot of fun to listen to. Western music just doesn't have that kind of energy. Try Scandinavian metal. It will give you an energy to sack a village or two. |
| Great concepts and performances that you can't find anywhere else, plus pop is great when you can't understand the lyrics.. |

Lots of Korean drama are trash (same love story bullshit) but there are some really great god tier ones like Giant and East of Eden. ah.. East of Eden. that was one of the first k-dramas I've watched/borrowed from the library, it was addicting. Never watched Giant before. I miss those old makjang/melodramas I hardly see them nowadays (the last makjang I saw was The Last Empress back in 2018-19) I am still addicted to watching those kind of plots/villains even if it's cliche/draggy. I spent more time watching k-dramas for the past few years than anime but for some reason I started losing interest in most 2019-2020 k-dramas. I just couldn't get into a lot of hyped/popular dramas even though they're highly rated on MDL, like Hotel Del Luna, Crash Landing On You, Hospital Playlist (slice of life bores me lol), etc. iiibunnykitkat said: -Really good storyline -Good acting -Romance genre K-dramas makes me gaga -Attractive, pretty men agreed (for the ones I enjoyed but some are still meh). For some reason I was never really interested in most American tv shows/dramas even though I live in Canada - maybe since I'm Asian I'm naturally more interested in Asian things. When I was younger I loved anime but then I got into some k-dramas in 2013 and started watching lakorns too last year. The men - well I like how most of them are clean shaven and keep fit, plus they dress better too, I find Asian fashion more appealing than American clothing. The last rom com I enjoyed was Perfume even though the ML is not a stereotypically good looking guy. As for K-Pop I like some songs here and there, I like listening to K-drama OST songs & BGM. |
