K-Dramas vs. J-Dramas?

[Destiny]

Which one do you prefer?And why?

[Symphonyâ„¢]

J-Dramas because the actors and actress can act and the stories are not recycled every drama.

[Skibop!!]

Never watched a j-drama before.... any recommendations?

Kdramas for people... they tend to be more good looking

Jdramas for people+plots : way more original and concise 

 

thus Kdramas cuz I'm shallow

[SATANIC SLUT]

i found both equally bad tbh

 

but i choose k-dramas cuz the people are more good looking oop

[NickyGolightly]

For me it depends on the drama I've seen really good and really bad of both 

[PALEMOCHI]

J-dramas tbh

I am not a huge drama fan but in general J-Drama's

 

They are shorter which can hold my attention, and the plots are more original.

 

With K-dramas there are some that I love, but that is because the characters are really lovable, the plot is usually a repeat of something else, and some go on too long and drag it so I forget about finishing them.

[creampuff]

J dramas by a long shot.

Family Game  if you would be into something more edgy 

Blood Monday is pretty good, from what I remember 

 

For something more light heart, fun teen drama you can never go wrong with Gokusen

[♡SEOLO♡]

i like both but i think i like j-dramas more bc the plots are more interesting and there are more variety, but k-dramas have better scenery and more good looking people

 

that sounds sad AF, any happy ones?

 

romcom: hotaru no hikari (2 seasons + movie), zettai kareshi

 

comedy: atashinchi no danshi, my boss my hero, legal high, deka wanko

 

mystery/suspense/police/drama/crime: tokyo dogs, keizoku 2 spec (+movies), liar game (2 seasons + movie), kagi no kakatta heya...

[BEEAION13]

K-dramas definitely . You can find some gems if you don't ONLY  watch the popular trashes like BOF or Heirs  and they have more good looking actors/actresses . 

 

J-dramas actors exaggerate way too much and that's a big turn off for me 

[..............]

Nodame Cantabile was all kinds of perfect. But overall I prefer Kdramas, better cinematography.

[camelliabloom]

J-dramas because it's really hard to find a K-drama that isn't typical with the same storylines with emphasis on families and forbidden love

 

[KinkySanta]

J-dramas because they aren't as predictable as Korean dramas

[pelusa]

I watch way more kdrama than jdrama, so I picked the former.

There's only one jdrama I've truly loved but then again I haven't watched that many (or maybe I've just watched the wrong ones.  Popular anime/manga adaptations basically). There's also the availability issue as well, it's easier for me to just stream stuff on viki.

[liya18]

so many culte j-drama: hana yori dango, hana kimi, Ryusei no kizuna, nobuta wo produce, gokusen, 1 pound no fukuin, proposal daisakusen, tatta hitotsu no koi and so on...

korean dramas suck
