Love it or hate it? Korean Dramas

Hello guys and girls, It's been a while since I last posted a blog post. Before starting today’s post I have a small announcement to make. It is that I am going to change the focus of my blog from fashion to lifestyle. So from now on, I will be sharing everything I like and I’m passionate about through my blog. I hope you will keep reading my posts and get inspired.

  Today I will share my thoughts on Korean dramas. Korean dramas are very popular especially among girls around the world. They are very popular in my country too. (I’m from this small island called Sri Lanka. You can find it on the map looking like a water drop below India.)  Although I’m not a crazy Korean TV drama fan, I have watched many Korean dramas and I have enjoyed them too.

  One of my favorite Korean dramas is full house. I first watched it when I was in 7^th or 8^th grade. I went to this English tuition class every Saturday and I ran home every Saturday right after the class to watch this drama on television because this was my favorite drama at that time. I even downloaded it and watched it several times later on and that may be the reason why I don’t enjoy it anymore. Because you can’t laugh at the same joke more than three times. But anyway that was one of the cutest and funniest TV dramas I have ever watched. And showing this drama on local television channel was the first step to introduce Korean dramas to Sri Lanka.

  There are so many reasons why Korean dramas are so popular. I think the main reason is that they are very well organized and they clearly have a specific story. And I really like the ending of many Korean dramas that I have watched. Most of them had a very satisfying happy ending. I love watching movies or TV series with a happy ending because they make me feel happy and hopeful about life. And most of them are really inspiring. But to get inspired by them you have to focus on the background of that drama instead of only concerning the love story. An example of this is the Korean drama, ‘Baby faced beauty’. It’s a story about a talented fashion designer who is trying to achieve her dreams. This gives us the chance to sneak peek into their fashion industry too.

  One of the things that I really admire about the Koreans is their fashion sense. It’s clean, cute and elegant. They don’t hesitate to wear cute short dresses, glittered heels or cute and elegant accessories which make them look even cuter. Not only girls but also guys wear really nice and cute clothing. We can see their fashion through Korean dramas, which is another reason for Korean dramas to be even more popular.

  But most of the guys find Korean dramas stupid and far away from the reality. I also agree with this to a certain extent. But I think this applies to most of other TV dramas and movies too. I mean just think of all those hero movies that guys love watching. (I know girls like them too) They are also nowhere near the reality. But it’s true that we cannot have that magical relationship that we see in Korean dramas all the time in real life. But in a real relationship, both girl and boy can be sweet to each other and care for each other just like the typical couples do in Korean dramas.

  Finally, I want to say that there is no rocket science behind why girls love Korean dramas so much. Korean dramas wake up that dream that we girls have planted in our hearts when we were so young by hearing all those princess stories. And Korean dramas make us feel like it’s possible to have a magical love story in our real life too.
