[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't call the good ones like those mentioned here cheesy so much as sentimental. If you like that kind of thing, as I do, they are a huge step up from most American programming. American shows are so overwrought or maudlin and lacking in the humor that relieves the emotion. The characters are less interesting, too. Unlike in good kdramas, they rarely surprise the viewer with new revelations of depth.

Kdrama storytelling and character development is a little like peeling an onion, with constant revelations that deepen or challenge what you know about events or characters. The single season format and use of flashbacks or scenes repeated from a different perspective make this possible. Slice of life dramas, in particular, are explorations of human behavior, and this revelatory style shows just how complicated and unexpected human characters can be.

This is one reason the good ones stand up well to repeated viewing, because the revelations about characters in later episodes have actually built upon clues placed throughout the drama. Upon rewatching, you see so many subtle actions and expressions by characters that go completely unnoticed when you first watch.[/quote]

Ma’am. They are cheesy.

There’s nothing wrong with cheese! Just enjoy it. No need to write a florid defense of k-drama that verges on uncomfortable fetishization!
