These are some of the reasons behind this sudden popularity.
Stories keep the viewer interested.
People are bored with the same old tropes and the same old stories. Korean dramas have come with hope for those looking for unexpected plots. Kdramas, whether they’re comedy, action, romance, or fantasy, tend to deliver some great storylines.
They start with a certain idea and end with another. The stories will keep one guessing what will happen next, how relationships will evolve, and what the endgame will be like. They have some wacky ideas that surprise many.
Fun and quirky characters and story
Kdramas are known for their ability to choose character quirks. Almost all dramas will have characters with a characteristic quirk, which makes you laugh a lot. The Korean industry understands that people love to laugh, which is why they add a comedic touch to their stories.
The comedy here is not just about the jokes, but is drawn from everything and anything, like the gestures, expressions and habits of the characters that can make a division.
Visually pleasing cinematography
One thing that makes kdramas stand out from many other shows and dramas from other parts of the world is their visual factor. The kdramas are bright, colorful and brilliant, and sometimes almost dreamlike. Some scenes will seem cut out of some old and new fairy tale.
They put a lot of effort into how mundane things like a dinner table with food or someone’s house or a simple street with shops to one side will look on camera. This makes the viewing experience a great joy for viewers.
Fascinating soundtrack
Lastly, one factor that leads people to the kdrama category is its engaging and enjoyable soundtracks. Almost all the movies that one will see, specifically the romantic ones, have the most beautiful OST. Most of the time, the songs will match the mood of the scene, be it sad, emotional, happy, or action-packed.
The four mentioned above are the main reasons why kdramas are so popular with international viewers. But, in addition to these, there are some other factors like attractive actors / actresses; great style, family themes and tasteful romantic scenes that make people go crazy for kdramas.
