Someone showed me a youtube video about Korean dramas recently, and it kind of made me think about how different types of culture are stereotyped....
Although I am an avid fan of Korean dramas and don't think ALL of them are as nigahiga says they are, I must admit, to a lot of people, they must seem that way.
The type of drama that he describes in this video really is what people think of first when they hear "KOREAN DRAMA," and a lot of people laugh at me for loving Kdrama, maybe because they think i'm obsessed with sob-stories and whatnot. But the thing is, these shows aren't all actual dramas--there's a lot of mystery genre, horror, war stories, historicals, whatever!!
Being at the receiving end of a stereotype really makes me wonder what stereotypes I might have myself about other things that i'm not even aware of.....
