okay. I take it back. I'm gonna need my kdrama romcoms or kdramas in general to be back to 16 eps. Let's end this 12, 10 or 8 eps insanity.
Also, I can't believe I'm saying this but I kind of miss when romcoms had serial killers lol it gave the drama an edge, or you know, actual conflict.
#kdrama#rant in the tags lol#this isn't about any particular drama airing at the moment#though i do think it applies to a couple#also i know that streaming sites are partially to blame in this whole thing#the era of bingeable series has seriously done more harm than good#ALSO two recent romcoms now have put the ex of the female lead as THE conflict in the series#and honestly? that's so dumb when there's literally so many other things to put in there#this is kdramaland! the only thing out there are plot twists and hundreds of other cliches and tropes#the love triangle used to be part of the plot NOT the entire thing#the only reason why I used to believe romcoms needed 12 eps was because they wasted time on side characters nobody liked#and there was always this period where the main couple broke up#or one of them went overseas for a year or two lol but right on the finale they got back together#and i was soooo tired of that#but now? 4-6 eps are setting the story nicely and all of the sudden it turns into a dragging mess#with no purpose no development#why is that even for? they got the formula all wrong#so for the love of god please return to 16 eps#i'll take the forced breakup or my most hated foe the noble idiocy#over whatever it is that we're getting right now
