Korea is
riding on the "hallyu" movement - the globalization
of Korean dramas (K-dramas). Whether it's
Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, China or the U.S.,
viewers who watch Korean dramas are enamored by the
"real" acting and fascinating stories that unfold
before their eyes.
K-dramas are a refreshing change for many, and some,
like Winter Sonata, take them back to first loves.
Others like, Dae Jang Geum, tell about history in a
fascinating way with rich costumes and realistic
sets.
While some viewers may find them too "mild"
for their taste, many others will be
thrilled to find tasteful, endearing
programming that reels them in and leaves
them wanting more...and more...and
more....and then they're hooked only to find
that they are part of the "hallyu"
movement.
Buying
Korean Dramas
If
you are interested in buying Korean dramas, be
careful where you buy them. Buying from
eBay and other sites may be less expensive,
but as the saying goes "you get what you
pay for."
From
personal experience, buying off of eBay or
other sites usually results in bootleg or
illegal copies of the dramas which results in
poor picture quality. Some bootleg
copies also have very poor English subtitles,
ranging from jibberish to excessive foul
language. The only site we use and
recommend, because of the excellent quality of
the DVDs and English subtitles, is YesAsia.com.
YesAsia.com is the only authorized distributor
of Korean DVDs in North America.
