The entertainment industry has grown so much in the past few years and it continues to grow day by day. Or we can say, it was already vast but people got access to every kind of movie and series now through Netflix and amazon prime. People explored the new world of entertainment, some found anime their new favorite and some people liked Turkish series, K-dramas.
It’s all about how much you can relate to a story and characters. In the past few years, we saw a new fascination rising among people, the Korean drama series or the K-dramas. After the rise of K-pop music, we saw people getting inclined toward K-dramas as well, and by the time it became the new obsession. Everyone, especially generation Z literally fell in love with the Korean singers, actors, and characters. It’s like it has become a new culture, it’s not just some people liking K-dramas, it’s a whole community all around the globe.
But what is the reason for K-dramas getting popular among people? Nothing can be this popular without any reason. There has to be something extraordinary about it to be the obsession of people, and not just people of one country but the whole world. l have tracked down some reasons why these dramas are now the ultimate favorite of some of my friends.
Interesting and simple storylines
It’s human nature, they get bored of the same thing. People watched Hollywood for years and now the plot of the movies and series was getting monotonous. Also, the stories were too complex and sci-fi that people got bored of watching. On the other hand, Kdramas had interesting, fun, and simple stories to offer.
We are living in the era of hustle and grind, people who work or study are already very exhausted with their routine. They want to see something which lifts up their moods, not something which messes with their mind even more.
Kdramas have catchy stories, people keep wondering what will happen next, how the characters will end up together, and how the relationship will grow. And everything is tension free and entertaining. They make stories that make the viewer feel good and happy. This is something you want to watch after a long tiring day.
Strong and sweet characters
The characters in Kdramas are not like the other characters shown in the English series. Kdramas make sure to add a special sweetness and a quirk to their characters. Even if you see just one episode of any K-drama, you will get hooked by the cute and sweet characters. They showcase the originality in their characters, with which people can relate. Their characters depict empathy, love, and grace. You can feel the scene and the emotions through the screen because of the way they act.
Necessary humor
They add the necessary humorous characters in every series. They know how to make people smile and laugh. There is always one specific character in every series who is there just to make people laugh and everyone knows if this one character is on screen they are definitely going to enjoy the scene. These characters can literally make your day.
The classy dressing
Another reason for the popularity of Kdramas is the classy and sassy dressing. Although Korean actors look extremely attractive whatever they wear, I truly believe that no one can carry suits the way these Korean actors do. Even if it’s cardigans or sweatshirts, they just nail every look and every color. Not just suits and cardigans, they look cute in school uniforms as well.
The formal wear worn by the female leads in K-dramas is just a goal for every girl. The office wear, the dress shirts, and the skirts are just perfect and the way they carry them is totally plausible. They totally changed the fashion and styling game for girls. Every girl, even if she’s in school, college, or working in an office, can take inspiration from Korean dramas. From jeans and oversized T-shirts to formal attire, they just know how to pull it off.
Eye-pleasing scenes
Kdramas are different in terms of cinematography as well, the scenes they film are different from Hollywood scenes. K-dramas are colorful and eye-pleasing, it often feels unreal sometimes. At times, it feels like this is some kind of fantasy happening at the screening. Everyone can get mesmerized by the screenplay of k-dramas, the colors they show, and even the food they show on the table is pleasing.
Their markets, their roads, and their homes are so simple yet beautiful. Seeing a different culture and different places makes you wanna go there and experience the things yourself. The romantic scenes in the dramas can get you awestruck and you feel like you can watch this whole day and this should never end.
The chemistry between the characters
Every Korean drama gives you new goals for a relationship. The bond and the chemistry shown between their characters are unmatchable. You get emotionally attached to the characters and the story, with each passing episode the energy between the characters keeps unwrapping and it becomes more and more intense. You just can’t get enough of them and whenever both main characters are on screen together they create a magic that leaves their viewers spellbound.
People just can’t get over the little intimate acts of the main leads. It’s different from physical sexual intimacy, it’s something more than that: the positive act of affection. They made everyone fall in love with them and their on-screen chemistry. These Korean dramas have set some standards of love and bond for the people. Literally, every girl wants to be like a K-drama heroine. Because they are just so simply beautiful and cute.
It’s not like they are super realistic, this is also a fantasy. But a fantasy everyone wants to live and everyone wants to be in. Because at some point, we all have dreamed of the same things which they show us on the screen. And everyone just lives their dreams with them and sees them happening and working out for those characters. These were some of the main reasons for k-dramas gained this much popularity.
