Why do K-Dramas always have these decent quirky premises, but end up as really generic shit?

For example this one on Netflix.

Timid, nice fat girl, body swaps with her bitch hot K-Idol sister, and the story basically follows the timid nice girl actually being a better idol than her bitchy sister, while the bitchy sister, in the fat body learns the trials and bullying her sister has to go through except, because she's a pretentious, egotistical bitch, she basically beats down the bullies and everyone starts liking her.

Show focuses on timid sister in Kpop body like 80% of the time, while bitch in fat body like 20% of the time.

The problem is, the only decent and fun story in the show, is the bitchy sister in the fat body basically owning the bullies.

Honestly, the entire show should have just focused on the sister in the fat body, taking over the entire fucking school forming a gang and becoming a Sukeban. They even manage to make the bitch sister in fat body storyline boring because one of the bullies actually falls for her. fuck that shit.

Why do Asians into good premises, but fuck up the execution every time?

I am trying to move my Mandarin from upper intermediate to advanced by watching Chinese shows.

Holy shit I am not sure who influenced who, but CHinese TV shows are the worst thing I've ever seen

I am from the UK, we produce a fair load of crap but we also produce some comfy dramas to watch and I was expecting to find some comfy modern dramas or something from China.

NOPE

you want to watch a chinese tv show? congratulations, the only genre is people who are far too attractive to be in normal situations dealing with mundane issues like divorce. Everything is seriously over-acted, the lighting is made to make everyone look like white max models and ever scene is camp/gayish.

I actually came up with an idea for a K-drama black comedy ages ago.

Fat autist kid in high school, everyone bullies him calling him a weirdo and a freak and after one super harsh bullying incident, he runs home crying.
At home, he's like "Why do people call me a weirdo, a freak? why am I always picked on", at the same time, the News is showing Kim Jong Un and and the world reacting to another nuclear test and the kids like "look at him, he's a real weirdo and freak, but all the world powers are afraid of him and he gets his own country where people worship him, why can't I have that!?" then, lightbulb goes off.

He then models himself on Kim Jong Un, Juche ideals and plans to take over his entire school, then city.

Basically the entire show becomes about this kid becoming a psychopath Machiavellian gangster, modelling himself on dear leader, and episodes basically play out in a similar way to Scott Tenorman Must Die from South Park, he legit just fucking gets people murdered and shit, working his way up to the top of the school, while building a harem and basically his own juche cult.

I like wuxia movies, but most chink wuxia tv shows look dreadful. Low budget, full of teen models and shitty CGI. Condor Heroes 2017 looks pretty decent, though:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pIYlHN3VPM

I don't even know if that kind of show is good for learning, though. Since it's set in ancient China maybe they speak like the chink equivalent of Spartacus.

I thought 도깨비 was pretty good.

But in general, Korean audiences kind of want something different that's also very similar. So they wind up making the same show over and over and over again, but there's something very superficial that's "different" about them. Like, oh, this show is about vampires, but then not really, it's just the same K-drama you've seen a billion times.

You can buy and watch porn in Korea. Just because something is technically illegal in Korea doesn't mean anyone does anything about it. There's even PC Rooms here specifically for watching porn for people who can't get any privacy at home.

K-dramas are unironically my guilty pleasure but it's just a fact that majority of them are garbage.

Garbage that I enjoy for some reason, but still garbage. Maybe 5% is good, and even with the few good dramas, often the story goes to shit in the last few episodes. They almost always revolve too much around lovelines and romance. Which makes sense, because the core audience in Korea and foreign countries is almost exclusively female.

I think the only strength they have is that many dramas, even happy ones have downer endings. This is obviously something that isn't new to american TV either, but most American mainstream shows do have usually happy endings. That isn't always the case with Korean dramas. But sometimes it leads to weird endings, you can have a mindless, quirky, dumb sentimental drama and then suddenly the last 2 episodes go full grimdark and it ends with every character being miserable and unhappy as fuck.

The problem with Kdramas and Jdramas, is like 90% of the time, they are based on a Webcomic or Shojou manga, but then, like remove anything good about that Shojou manga or Webcomic to make it fit the mold of a TV drama.

Shojou manga, typically written by women, generally have pretty headstrong, balanced female characters, yet every single drama show, will change that character, into a super submissive, lovesick girl, for example.

Hell, maybe they will make a K-drama of Sweet Guy and not fuck it up.

>>82223669
No I think it's like that because that's what I've heard and read from people who have been to places like China. "They"(see: in general) are obsessed with looking Whiter.

>>82223554
It's to look pale not to look white. Or are people who tan trying to look black in your eyes too?

Can't speak on kdramas but to avoid alot of the schlock that you can get with Jdramas I just watch the ones that contain my favourite actor or actress or I pick by studio.
ie. wowow dramas have higher production values and are usually pretty serious whereas tbs dramas are usually episodic and drive home that kitschy ganbatte we're all in this together after school special shit from the 90's.

It doesn't matter. Listen kid you don't want to see my other side. I have a wolf inside me with a muzzle on, but the muzzle is about to come off. You broke her heart, and I will break yours. She is a nice girl, how dare you use her like this. How come people like you get to date her? Then people like me have to sit in the shadows and be the shoulders to cry on. Listen Kid, I don't have time for FUCKING games. I am a nice guy, but when you make a nice guy angry; the world shakes. Don't do it again.

But if you like stuff like Densha Otoko and GTO I'd suggest Akihabara@Deep, Gokusen, Moteki, Mahoro Eki Mae Bangaichi, Atami No Sousakan Minna Esper Dayo and Trick.
