Your comments about why you prefer Korean reality shows over American ones resonates with me and I often make similar points to friends and family when discussing them. I’m not Asian but I do NOT enjoy watching most American reality shows because the participants tend to be crass and raunchy or perhaps we discover they are emotionally disturbed and were probably selected to make the show exciting and unpredictable. Korean (and Japanese) reality shows don’t tend to be this way. Most participants are fundamentally decent and their love stories are quite wholesome. That’s not to say there aren’t some very insecure people involved from time to time, but the dynamics are completely different and you rarely feel like someone was included in the show for their shock value. Singles Inferno (Korea) and Love is Blind (Japan) are two such examples of very enjoyable reality shows.

Will be rewatching it rn. And mind you, each and every actor kicked it out of the park. I could kiss Jeon Yeobeen, Ahn Hyoseop and Kang Hoon's hands fr, specially Yeobeen. When I tell you her acting shook me! The actors didn't even need to speak, their eyes talked and I mean it! They were flawless. Cinematography and direction were chef's kiss. And the story took me out. I'm so sad there isn't much promotional content for me to feed my delusion but k drama gods above know how much I liked it. One of my absolute favs definitely. This is the first intense romance drama I liked so much that I can still hear my heart crying for more. It's not even an Intense romance drama and definitely not the first one I watched (I'm a hardcore bingewatcher), the actors made it so with their masterpiece of an acting. It's beautiful!

I think this a great reminder that there’s a difference between sin and conviction. If you feel Korean Dramas will affect your convictions and sway you in a direction towards sin, definitely don’t watch it. Some don’t have that conviction and don’t feel affected by watching a Korean drama, a Marvel movie, and listening to the radio. At the end of the day it’s not about legalism :)

@@mayaleex3 I would agree with you,on the one hand...I just remember myself as a teenager,when I wasn't an active Christian,and the happiness when I found korean doramas with modest plots. It was something new to me opposed to what I was watching,and sort of,making me realise that there is different content. Probably,you are right,I remeber believing to some degree that what was shown on the tv was the norm,considering that my parents and most of the people around me also were not active Christians...so,I just thought what if someone like me,years ago,came across your video without knowing about your channel and your beliefs...wouldn't it be one more,sort of,approval for them?😕

I'll try these... I lean much more to chinese dramas but they like to finish them with tragedy. In korean, female leads (charachter is fully grown ass woman) behaves like girls 10-12 years old. That's annoying. (Imagine woman of 35, and when boy kiss her, she stares at him with eyes wide open, so in shock she can't move). I often give up after one or two episodes. And I would like more passion, hot kissing scenes. I'm not talking about erotic scenes, we had enough of that in american or european dramas, but c'mon guys, learn how to kiss and do it properly.
