"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
