My 2024 drama watch was dismal.

K dramas, Did I only finish 2 ? Subject to change as memory fluctuates.

Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born (Musical)
Queen of Tears

J drama

Extremely Inappropriate! (Musical)
Tiger Has Wings *

C dramas ,I have had trouble finishing them .

Real world current events took priority this year . Lots of YouTube for history, old films, old television series , news and YouTube content makers, primarily mechanics and machining .

The musicals were high on my list. I did not finish Tiger Has Wings , just due to time constraints. With the demise of the DC website , I really don’t know where I’ll find J dramas. YouTube does carry some vintage J programming, ninja series and similar fare.

The Japanese broadcasters do not seem to have much interest in the market outside of Japan , although Netflix ‘s tentacles reach there too.

K dramas ? Still putting serial killers where they don’t belong.

    I also don’t understand why older j-dramas (and even lots of recent ones) are so hard to find. Viki and Netflix have been posting more of them recently, but there are still tons of classics that have only been available on the dark side (and with that vanishing, may be unavailable period). Also, great frog!

      Ted Turner bought up a bunch of movies and created TCM.
      Would someone be able to broadcast/stream vintage dramas in a similar manner ?
      There is a huge volume of work available if you include all Asia not just K
      Would Networks demand huge fees , but be unwilling to host such ? I am curious.

      I am off on my count, as usual for this time of year.😂
      I finished several dramas at the beginning of the year, which for some reason seems like last year,🤔 Perhaps the bean count causes that. My total will be up.
      I did see some decent dramas in 2024 .
      I have to go back and look at my fan wall (spotty record keeping there) or back to WWAWTW or the Recaps to see what I was up to.

      Here’s to 2025 and good shows !!

        Tbh I rely upon the drama list in the Bean Count Thread to calculate but still forget to add some dramas. I guess in the end if we don’t even remember we watched them they weren’t that memorable. 😅 Nevertheless it is fun.
        🥂 for good, enjoy shows.
