Perhaps not so, but the difference is that there's a much higher viewership rating of Kdramas than soaps in the U.S. The most popular dramas can have anywhere from a quarter to half of the country watching at the same time, while those numbers are impossible to reach even for very popular primetime TV shows in the U.S.

I hate them with a quiet, but all consuming passion (and I'm female in case anyone still doesn't know.) They're part of the reason I stopped watching Korean television in the first place. Especially the really sappy ones with stupid slapstick and/or female leads who are so incompetant that if they were real people they'd probably die just from walking down the street.

I also really dislike those kinds of 'harem' dramas where it's one girl, or one guy whom everyone falls for - even if it completely contradicts any logical character development or their personality in the show. That's just so puke-inducingly predictable.

I also hate western romantic/rom-com movies/dramas though. It's just such a boring genre to me, but some of the Kdramas I've tried have really encompassed everything that makes me want to switch off the television immediately. Give me a good horror/thriller/mystery movie/drama any day.

Thankfully, they're easy to avoid. (It was fun to be an extra in Secret Garden and Marry me Mary though.)

Actually it's good--think about it this way

Assume you don't understand how to get a girl to like you, because a girl herself doesn't know what's "right" for a relationship. (true, most women are confused)

Then she watches a k-drama and it's like *bam* no digestion whatsoever she just accepts the drama as truth

Now you know what you have to do. All you have to do is watch half the drama (the part prior to the inevitable terminal illness) and you have like maphack on her brain. You can see exactly how she will react to every given situation.

Dramas create a common language for men and women to understand and date each other. They fulfill the same purpose as stone age fertility rituals.

And before you complain that these rituals set up stupid expectations of you, consider that they encourage you to be tender, kind, and considerate of the girl. Isn't that so much better than other reproductive memes, like, for example, the whole ideal of chivalric male honor, which once resulted in over two thousand dueling casualties in the United States South each year? I'd sure as hell take buying flowers to keep a girl over having to pistol whip or shoot some other dude over a perceived insult in order to keep my male honor intact
Jaedong beats other players. Bisu beats other players, in PL. Flash beats Starcraft.

My gf likes watching asian dramas also, although mostly Japanese ones.
Even so, she still puts up with me. I dress really dorky, play starcraft or MMOs most of the time, watch anime and manga, am not remotely romantic or spontaneous, have no money, own a shitty car, and never do anything new with her. >_<
lucky me lol

it's kind of shocking how easily people are manipulated when you think about it. All Kdramas follow a formula, and while the viewer knows this, can't help but get sucked in anyway. Makes you wonder if we have any ounce of will power and consciousness.

romance dramas to girls are like sci-fi drama to guys.

except its easier to know that warp drives are made up... that's the problem.

As a red-blooded man, I would rather lose my life in a duel than watch half a K-drama. No woman is worth that.

Since I watch American tv/movies, I expect girls to be 5'10" or above, at least be C cups, have perfect hair, and be toned like a long distance runner.

Edit: and be funny and interesting and not have terrible personalities, I forgot about personalities.

simply girls talking about girl things in their own context

I know what you're talking about. I was a guy, and I used to be obsessed with these dramas. I really couldn't differentiate between real life and dramas. But now, I don't watch any, only ones that I really want to watch. It is really easy to become addicted. And yeah, the girls in Korea nowadays all think their some kind of princesses

It's a nice fantasy, relax. Who doesn't want to lose themselves now and then in a make-believe world? I'm sure there are some people out there who can't differentiate between television and reality, but they're few and far between... unless I'm seriously overestimating humanity.

Two tall, rich, well educated, hot men fighting over me and coming up with elaborate romantic trips to try to win me over? Yeah that'd be nice. Likely to ever happen? Nope.

That being said, I've never watched any of these Kdramas, so maybe I'm not really sure what they're like.
I admire your commitment to being *very* oily
