What are the characteristics of Korean dramas?

The outstanding feature of Korean dramas is the use of comedy skills.

Basically, most Korean dramas are full of comedy scenes and characters. Comedy skills play a huge entertainment role in TV series, and the use of comedy skills is conducive to adjusting the internal rhythm of the script.

Even if the narrative of the whole TV series is extremely protracted, it is precisely because of the use of comedy skills that the audience will not feel tired during the long-term viewing.

The spread range of Korean dramas:

Korean TV series began to enter China on 1993 in the second year after the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea, but it did not cause great repercussions at that time. Until 1997, the Korean family drama "What is Love" was replayed by CCTV, which caused a sensation, which led to a large influx of Korean entertainment culture into China and gradually formed the Korean Wave.

During the same period, Korean TV dramas were introduced and broadcast in batches by neighboring countries, which triggered a ratings boom in many regions, mainly young people. 1999 Beijing reporter used the word "Korean Wave" to describe this phenomenon. Later, this word was widely used by the media, and the Korean media and academic circles also borrowed the word "Korean Wave" to describe the grand occasion of their cultural export. Later, the word spread to the west, adding a new word "Korean Wave" to English.
