The first K-drama I watched was IRIS. That show was a crime, thriller and the plot was really good but it never became as popular as these other rom-com shows. A lot of Korean shows that became popular globally were influenced by Japanese Manga and western dramas. That's why it irritates me when Koreaboos pretend like Korea is the greatest country in the world. Their pop culture is very derivative and shallow.
As someone, who was into Anime during my teenage years I have tried to get into webtoons quite a few times but I can't because most webtoons, even the famous ones, are not that good compared to Mangas. I dislike the Japanese because of their colonial past and their government but I have to admit they have more originality than Koreans.
The Japanese definitely have way more originality, by a large margin and I have said before that they have maintained more cultural integrity. There is nothing wrong with being inspired by other cultures or copying aspects of them as long as you bring something new to the table, not just outright copying whatever is trendy in the west. However that may have been the reason they were export their stuff so well, because western culture is dominant, it cannot be denied. The symbolism in stuff from kpop to dramas and movies coming from SK is extreme as seen on this website, they have totally bowed down to the global elite that desire a ”one world rule.”
Why do people glorify SK? Life there seems like hell for the average middle class person and even worse for poor people:
Highest suicide rate in the world
High rates of lonely deaths in young people
People working insane hours to make ends meet or because they have a toxic work culture. Same goes for Japan. Nobody likes working in those countries.
One of the highest alcholism rates
Spending the most money on plastic surgery and luxury goods while being to afford .
Lowest fertility rate in the world meaning they will die out soon cause nobody is having kids.
Glorifying effeminization of men while having no gaydar because fruity celebs are so normalized there.
No words
Is this is man or a woman?
Looks like gender non binary lord Farquad
Who is this appealing to?
