u all have listed most of the tings i like abt jap drama
1. pretty girls ... even extras are pretty. in which other country can u get this
2. short. 11-13 episodes makes me miss no episodes n when i do, i get really pissed. american dramas are great, their ideas, plots n filiming techniques break new grnd yearly but i wont die if i missed an episode of ONE season. the onli american show im glued to right now is ER. hongkong dramas are not bad sometimes but they show at a bad time slot (ie my studying time) n they tend to be less innovative. and they have less pretty gers.
3. themes. u all are right, most jap drama have likeable characters in which they are determined to achieve their dreams in life. in particular, i like nagase tomoya's roles in yanpapa & mukodono! they convey a lot of desirable values tat i wld like to see in my self. I think its true tat someone who loves jap dramas can not have a bad character as it wld totally be not in sync with wat u watch. They try to teach u all the right things in life
4. cinematography. although not equal to american shows, still the best in this side of asia. hero is a great example to me.
5. i like a lot of things japanese.
6. i have to say this again. PRETTY GIRLS
probably got more reasons but this is wat i can recall currently
Added: i'm a big sucker for good love stories. even though im male ... ...

Only thing i watch on local tv these days is West Wing. |
Same here. I can't keep up with all the political interactions on The West Wing, yet the show fascinates me...

My reasons I watch JDorama:
1) Pretty Asian Girls - I will admit that I have stopped watching a drama just because the lead female wasn't pretty
2) To Learn Japanese - Anytime I can be exposed to the language increases my chances of learning it (in theory )
3) To tell Anime fans Japan makes other TV shows besides Anime - I think half of them are unaware of JDorama

Heh, those are some damn good reasons, Potato-Guy... I should mention #3 to my nephew (also 19), who is totally clueless to doramas...

As for me; I find doramas are more intriguing to watch than any dramas from my country simply because I like the way they teach us not to give up on your dream that easy... | what's in it for me!? that's easy... ENTERTAINMENT!

Yeah, I for one, never would have though that I'd be watching a tv series about politics. hehehe. But as soon as i started watching it, via net downloads at first to catch up, i got hooked. I think the first season is the best though. _________________

The first season is out on DVD, I believe.
Off topic, but what about Law & Order and Alias?

Posted: Tue Mar 30, 2004 8:13 am Post subject: Why do you like Japanese dramas? |
|
|
I like them for several reasons:
1) Good acting. In the US, TV acting is looked upon as "inferior." For instance, once an actor makes it big time and does major films, acting on TV is beneath him/her. It's not like this in Japan, and it shows on the screen. Quite frankly, I have never been moved emotionally by American TV as much as I have Japanese dramas.
2) Great stories. I think this has to do with the format itself. In American TV, most series are more-or-less self contained. With Japanese drama, the format is compact 12-13 episodes, and that is it. The script writer must introduce the characters, advance the plot, and end it in a span of 8 hours of film.
3) Good production values. The sets aren't confined to studio lots. Shooting is done in various locations, camera work is as good as some movies.
