Aigoo. I wouldn't say that the movies are all that and a plate of Olive Chicken's Fried Chicken, but the TV shows at their best? Daebak! Well some of them. I've learned though thousands of hours of watching Kdramas to avoid among other things story lines that focus mainly on a love affair. Those start OK but about half way through they take a turn for the Emu till it drags itself back out in the last quarter if I stick around though it. I also try to avoid excessive dramaish stories although My Golden Life was pretty good [and the baker sister was 10 pounds of cute in a 5 pound 5]
Although MGL was over 50 episodes, I tend to watch the 16 or so episode ones, less chance of the second half decline.
Squid games was good, Vincenzo, Woo Young Woo, Stovetop League [not so popular but good], the Kdrama The Good Doctor was much better than the 'merican one. Big Bet, Taxi Driver, DP, too many to name.
My first was Boys over Flowers [no homo], Omni TV back in the day, nothing else doing, so why not. After a while I got hooked.
At first I used to find the first few episodes of every show confusing, who is that, what? But a bit of time, I don't get that anymore. I guess there is a learning curve.
Wish I kept a list of all the shows I've finished but meh. Kdrama on reddit has a weekly premiere post telling you what's new. Before I'g go through the South Korea listings on KissAsia, and watch anything that looks promising, sort by popularity but they no longer sort by nation. However I am caught up on the old stuff so I just need to know when the new shit is dropping.
Hardly anything on western TV anymore. The days of 2.5men, How I met your mother and Big Bang are over. Sometimes you get a bit of good from the steaming sires, Reacher, Tulsa King but it's rare.
I find the Japanese shows tend to be kinda depressing even when they are supposed to be comedic, there is this undercurrent of sadness, Ditto for the TV shows. However when they are good, they are good.
One big plus is, 10 episodes, 45 minutes, they get straight to the point which I like.
Watching Always on the Move a Chinese show, which is pretty good, but most of them, even promising ones I get kinda board of after 4 or 6 episodes in, they just don't have that. But Always on the Movie, that is some top class fecal matter.
Got some North Korean movies, I expect they will suck but meh.
