Korean dramas are becoming more and more popular, but Japanese dramas are facing challenges?
Many netizens who love to watch dramas have recently discussed whether Japanese dramas have "become niche". In recent years, Korean dramas are indeed good at marketing and promotion, so that it is easy to cause topics and discussions, coupled with the variety of themes, the competition between TV stations is quite fierce, and they are willing to spend a lot of money to shoot, so Korean dramas have exquisite pictures comparable to movie specifications, which is also very attractive.
However, the number of short stories in Japanese dramas is compact, and the picture is more life-like, making many netizens say that it is more like what happened in the real world, plus many late-night dramas with good texture have appeared recently, in fact, Japanese dramas are also re-finding their own ethnic groups, after all, the times have been changing, and how to attract the younger generation is also a very important issue. No matter which country's drama, the most important thing is the "script", as long as the content is attentive enough, the audience will definitely feel it!
