K-Drama

Korean dramas (한국 드라마 ), more popularly known as K-dramas, are television series in the Korean language that are made in South Korea.

They are popular worldwide, especially in Asia, partially due to the spread of Korean popular culture (the "Korean Wave") and their widespread availability via streaming services, which often offer subtitles in multiple languages. Many K-dramas have been translated internationally, and some of them have had a significant influence in other nations. In other countries, traditional television channels have broadcast some of the most well-known dramas. For example, Dae Jang Geum (2003-04) was sold in 150 countries.

Korean dramas have attracted international attention for their fashion, style, and culture. Their rise in popularity has given a great boost to fashion lines.

The "Korean Wave," or Hallyu, had great impacts on countries around the world. With the wave came Korean TV dramas. "In the late 2000s, South Korea was producing more TV dramas than ever before."  The demand for K-drama has only increased over the last twenty years after it was nearly destroyed due to Hollywood films, Japanese pop culture, and the financial crisis that hit South Korea in 1997. (Ingyu, 2017) K-dramas continue to gain traction internationally today.

There is a tacit knowledge when it comes to the production of television series in South Korea that appeals to consumers in a unique way. (Ingyu, 2017) K-dramas have an especially large female presence that makes up their following and representation. The female fandom is specifically targeted, and tacit knowledge is applied most effectively in this area. The Korean actors show a wide range of emotions, and many adlib without prompting, even producing genuine tears without assistance.
