We Filipinos had always loved watching Korean and Japanese Dramas. It can make us laugh. It can make us cry. It can even make us mad and frustrated sometimes. Our emotions are easily stirred by the story plots of these K&J dramas over and over again without us realizing it that it has the same story plot as the other dramas we've already watch.
Example:
 |
| Coffee Prince. A girl disguise as a guy to help the leading actor |
 |
| Hana Kimi. A girl pretending to be a guy to enter the school where her favorite athlete is studying. |
 |
| Sungkyunkwan Scandal. A girl disguise as a guy to be able to study in a university |
 |
| You're Beautiful. A girl pretending to be a guy to help her brother. |
These are just some of the popular K&J dramas that features this kind of story plot. A woman disguising herself to be a man.
This plot just keep on repeating and repeating, with the writers recycling what the previous similar drama have shown. Despite the fact that this story line have been overused in the K&J novelas, we still continue to watch it because they make it appear like it's our first time watching something like that.
Haven't you noticed that these kind of story plot emerges in the mainstream one after the other but these dramas still manage to get high rates in Television? Personally, even with me realizing this, I still like watching dramas that have this kind of story plot. I never get tired of it and I don't know why.
Well, maybe I do know. Because even though there's nothing new in the story plot of that particular drama or we can't get any good knowledge from the story itself, as long as the actors are good-looking and famous, we patronized it. Am I right or am I right? :P Some of the K&J drama fans only patronize a drama if their favorite actors and actresses are in it. They will first love the actors, then later comes the "loving the plot" stage.
