korean dramas
What is with the obsession with chaebol dramas?

1. [+1,261, -64] Koreans may hate on chaebols but they all have fantasies about them
2. [+835, -162] Because the viewers are women ㅋㅋ
3. [+683, -59] Because people live vicariously through watching wealthy men and women... and it's fun seeing a bit of Cinderella elements mixed in
4. [+440, -90] Probably because people want to live vicariously through the TV in a world that they can't live in. Although I don't know what that'd mean...
5. [+84, -7] I just want more diversity
6. [+76, -3] There's only ever chaebol dramas anyway. I really want a drama for once without chaebols or makjang in it. We can see chaebol fights in real life already.
7. [+49, -2] Is there even a drama without chaebols in it?
8. [+41, -4] Money is everything in the world after all ㅋㅋ
9. [+36, -4] The main viewerbase are ajummas so the dramas need to have cool looking male leads. Nevermind if they're dicks, as long as they treat the female lead nicely, women will eat it up ㅋㅋ
10. [+37, -17] Because it's not like men watch dramas... it's only women who watch it so the dramas just give them what they want
11. [+18, -0] Dramas are ruining perceptions of reality. Women are still waiting for a handsome 180 cm+ prince even though barely 1% of them exist in reality ㅋㅋ
12. [+13, -0] Have you noticed that dramas have depicted commoner families in the same way for the past decade... they all gather round the table to eat in a house that you can see the lawn on... same characters, same speech, same script, same ending...
