[Drama Chat] K-drama add-ons

by Unit

When it comes to dramas, I’m mostly a “watch the show and move on” type of viewer. I never really cared about the extra stuff until Queen of Tears came along and I fell into the rabbit hole of add-ons. I watched almost all the promotional interviews, the cast’s reactions to the episodes, their talk show appearances, behind-the-scenes footage of the drama, the special episodes and the likes. I especially liked the behind the scenes and special episodes because it made me appreciate the hard work and effort that cast and crew put into the show. (Plus I will never say no to seeing goofy Kim Soo-hyun’s NGs and ad-libs.)

My entire week revolved around Queen of Tears when it aired, and I knew I had lost the plot when I waited on YouTube for the cast and crew to arrive at the wrap up party. Lol. It was a fun and immersive experience, but it was also exhausting. And while I can’t imagine doing this on a regular basis, I still think it’s worth the investment for the right drama.

How do you enjoy your dramas? Do you watch the full run of episodes and move on, or do you consume the extra content in addition to the drama?

I don't usually check out promotional content like interviews and reactions, just because they seem to get repetitive (minus the mafia games Netflix hosts!). When I obsess over a show though, like Lovely Runner, I try to investigate anything and everything that could possibly be uncovered about it. BTS scenes of the directors, producers and actors working out the script and screenplay are always good fun!

I'm not enough of a social media butterfly, so I usually only watch the add on content that other people have posted. I would probably watch more add ons, but its a chore to try and find stuff that is subbed, and I'm not interested enough to watch unsubbed stuff.
I did watch a Salon drip episode with the QoT leads that someone had posted, and I really enjoyed that. The actors talked about stuff that was not drama-promotion, and it was interesting. KSH seems a bit of an obsessive type. No wonder directors love him if he engages all that focus to whatever he is doing. ( as well as being handsome of course)
