It's a matter of personal preference, perhaps. We must understand that they are serving the entire nation and not just us J-drama lovers. They require some $$$ to buy over the rights to air foreign shows, that's why local shows are prefered. Having limited resources also restricts them to air dramas selectively, that's why they tend to follow the 'trend'. Back when J dramas were more popular, weren't there many J-dramas? Now that it's the K-craze, it's natural that they would want to air Korean stuff more to follow the 'trend'.
Some of the local shows are also okay, I wouldn't say they're terrible, they're considered not bad according to local standards, but if you measure it against asian standards, comparing it to HK, Taiwan, Japanese and Korean Dramas it definitely does not shine among them.
For example, my non-J Dorama lover friends and/or non-cable using friends have no choice but to watch only local channels. As such, they're sort of forced to limit their choices of favourite dramas and actors to a local scale. So we can't really blame Mediacorp. After all, its a channel for the masses. They want to be an all-rounded station that caters to all kinds of viewers.
Perhaps we shouldn't judge Singapore's quality based on the entertainment industry itself. True, I agree that the entertainment industry here pales in comparison to others, but nevertheless, it shouldn't be too major an issue that it will cause pple to think Singapore is 'low quality'.
It's definitely not good news that less J-dramas are being shown, but it's too bad for us. If we want to see a certain drama, i believe we'd go all out to get it. No problemo for us. :mrgreen: We'll just have to compromise. Take heart, at least there STILL are some J-dramas and programmes being shown, it's better than NONE at all.
