An interesting difference between #JDrama and #KDrama fandom. Every.Single.Time I jwatch a K-actor's Insta live, there are ALWAYS commenters saying stuff like "Speak English" - no "please", and no acknowledgement that the celeb has the absolute right to use their L1.
I've been watching a #JDrama actor's Insta live for the last 10 minutes, and it's all Japanese. I don't speak or read Japanese but I love that J actors aren't hassled by entitled fans demanding they speak English

It's definitely been a very stimulating discussion and a great way to stay awake in the early hours after midnight, thanks!

It's an interesting paradox you have created for yourself - insisting that only the writer's perspective is the correct one UNLESS their perspective is that theirs is NOT the only perspective.

In that case, you are saying that you are right and they are wrong, which contradicts your assertion that theirs is the only correct pov.

"If it is an art, then we have to view it and understand it from the creator's perspective."

This actually gets debated A LOT, in many forms of art: Is the creator's perspective the only valid one, assuming we can be sure we know what their perspective is? I've seen many writers say that once they finish a work, it's no longer theirs but belongs to those who consume it. It's an interesting question, one that will be debated forever, I think

@youronlyone @KDramaQn

None of those series appealed to me, and am surprised by your praise for the IRIS sequel. In the 11 years I've been watching #KDrama, that one has been universally lambasted as an absolute turkey. You're literally the first I've ever heard praise it.
I HATED the 1st Strong Woman for its brazen misogyny, so was never going to watch a 2nd season. The ONLY #KDrama I've wtached with more than 1 season was Forest of Secrets - which, to be fair I scored S2 higher than S1

@KDramaQn @youronlyone There are A LOT of recent shorter #KDrama series that are clearly built around at least the possibility of a 2nd season, and I tend to shun those as I INTENSELY dislike that element of "Westernisation".
But having drifted toward #JDrama (where 12 is LONG) in large part because of all the saggy bloated filler in >=16 ep KDramas, I love the nice tight feel of those #KDramas that are written short and complete. "One Day Off" is a beautiful example

@youronlyone
Page Turner was not a Web #Kdrama it was a KBS production, possibly from a screenwriting contest, I think?

Check Out The Event may have been a web Drama as MDL lists both iQiyi and MBC as the networks responsible. Neither Drama was a compilation of shrot web episodes though

@youronlyone In case you haven't seen any of these, here are the 4 short KDramas I've scored at least 9/10

@youronlyone Dailies are still ~120, of course. I really hope 12 does become the new norm, but there are still plenty of 16s being made, sadly. It was great to see a 12 episode Drama, Knight Flower, set viewing records for its network slot. It might help accelerate the trend.

@liztai No one using spoiler t warnings. Lots of discussions about currently airing Dramas I have on my PTW list, had to come back here to avoid the spoilers :)

Just popped in to Bluesky to check the #CDramas and #KDramas feed there and fled quickly, with renewed gratitude for the many here who use spoiler tags liberally. A life saver for me since I don't watch Dramas as they air

@liztai Here's an example - both by the blogger and the commenters :)

Reading about the makjang meltdown in the closing stretch of #MarryMyHusband is a great example of confirmation bias: Crossing it off my PTW list at the same as I thank it for validating my inflexible rule to NEVER watch a #KDrama while it airs
