Yeoleobun Annyeonghaseyo!! ( Hello Everyone😀)

As we all know, the Korean entertainment industry is booming right now. The global audience for Korean music and Korean television is exploding across Asia and is even spreading to Europe and North America.

This surge of Korean cultural popularity has been called "Hallyu." It means Korean wave and refers to the way Korean entertainment is spreading around the world.

In Contemporary era, people wants everything to be unique and different. Here, it same goes with Korean dramas also known as kdramas which are made in South Korea, started to broadcast television series in the 1960s, mostly featured in a miniseries format, with uncommon features that set it apart from regular Western television series or soap operas.

Unlike soap operas which continues its typically same type of stories for 500 -1000 episodes, majority of Kdramas are broadcasted in mini dramas format of 12-24 episodes with all types of genres, that may be historical, comedy, thriller, romance, horror, drama, family, fantasy, Business and many more. And what makes it more unique is its story line! Every story comes with a unique, creative fresh concept such as heart melting love scenes, adorable actors, outfits that beg to be copied, edge of the seat action scenes, sob-inducing conflict, food that will leave you drooling, music that will be stuck in your head for days, and hilarious moments that will have you laughing till your side hurts and much more!!!!!

Also, Korean dramas are usually shot within a very tight schedule, often a few hours before actual broadcast, screenplays are flexible and may change anytime during production, depending on viewers' feedback, putting actors in a difficult position. Adding to it, production companies often have financial issues. 

Warning! K-Drama is addictive! Once you start, you won't stop! 

Why Korean Dramas Are Popular

There are wide varieties of reasons why Korea dramas have gained such a wide following from all over the world.

Here are some of the most common reasons why people become fans of K-drama:

• Eye candy 😍 - The stars of dramas are very attractive. There is a reason there are lots of sweet and clingy scenes, rich boy poor girl romance(P.S. not A rated!!), Back hugs, Piggy back rides and many more to be found in Korean shows.

• Cultural appeal - It's educational (really!). Watching foreign dramas lets you absorb information about a different culture without the hassle of dreary studying. You learn about different societal norms by watching the day to day life of the characters. Watch even one Korean drama and you will understand that shoes are taken off at the door without anyone needing to tell you.

• Squeaky clean - The majority of K-Dramas are G-rated and very clean compared to American movies and television. Foul language is rare, violence is minimal, and love scenes rarely progress past kissing. In fact, even seeing a French kiss in a Korean drama is newsworthy. Some types of scenes make more impact to viewers when the show isn't flooded with them.

• Fresh factor - Many people from the Western world watch Korean dramas just because they are different from the usual soap operas which run for a decade!! It's not the same old stale, predictable plots that have been recycled for seasons. The plots, types of characters, and even the settings in K-dramas feel new and different and, therefore, more exciting.

• Fashion Freak - The fashion in dramas has definite trend appeal. Many outfits are straight from the runway. The accessories are just as amazing as the clothes. Drama stars dress the way most of us would in our daydreams.

• Mouthwatering food - It's hard to watch a drama and not get cravings for ramen. Nearly every episode features delicious-looking dishes like rolled up eggs, hearty soups, and grilled steak. And your hand dexterity will improve with dramas because you are sure to have simultaneous chopstick cravings as well. Honestly, we all might have tried using chopsticks in case we might get a chance to visit Korea and have to eat food with 'em!!!

• Rocking music - K-Pop is considerably more well known than Korean drama series at this moment. It's not hard to comprehend it's prominence either. It has appealing beats and fun lyrics. There is likewise a powerful sprinkling of English words in K-Pop. What's more, fortunately dramas showcase plenty of K-Pop music and K-Pop stars are drama regulars.

• Addictive properties - Korean shows effectively make enthusiastic associations with watchers. Characters are created and brought through hardships so that the crowd identifies with the characters and feels similar feelings. The precipice holder endings of almost every scene leave watchers wriggle till the following scene can resolve the contention. The pressure is developed so expertly that it is all the more genuinely thunderous when the main couple at last hold hands halfway through the drama than when a full-blown bedroom scene happens in an American series.
