Taking a gander at some of the films I've reviewed, I'm sure it's clear that I do love Korean films. However, I LOVE Korean dramas as well and I've even reviewed one K-drama so far, Flames of Desire. I'm on my eighth K-drama and I'm NOT getting bored. They get better and better. After my exposure to K-dramas, I have a hard time appreciating American shows. Yes, there are a few American shows that are gems and can't wait for them to return this fall. However, I think a lot of American television shows over sexualize everything and I find the humor to veer towards crass rather than classy. K-dramas are quite the opposite. There is passion and there is romance but there is hardly any kissing and there is almost no sex and little (if any) violence. Because of this absence, the writing and plot are clever and there is a healthy focus on the interpersonal relationships between the characters. In addition, the "bad" people don't get away with their behavior which feels oh so good! Even my traditional mother loves K-dramas now!! I've decided to begin reviewing K-dramas so be on the look out! (The pictures are a hint as to which k-drama I'm currently watching. Can you guess?)
