Why are Korean live action shows just as weird and dramatic as anime?

[stoneinfocus]

I just watched one for the first time and their expressions and gestures were so awkward. Seriously what is up with all the overacting?

Most K-Comedies and reality shows (plus just kpop and korean pop culture shows) have lots of flashy fun images designed to make the audience laugh.
It pulls it off well normally.

i've only watched Korean war/horror movies and most of them are pretty good (but yes they do overact) eg Taegukgi and the Host 2006, i think they made an anime Wonderful Days that was halfway decent

I'm talking more like TV comedies and dramas. Apparently they've started putting them on Netflix so I tried watching one about some K-pop boy band and all I remember is a girl pretending to be a boy and going into the boys' bathroom to pull down some jerk's pants only to do an entire freeze frame sequence of their reactions when she finds out he's from the boy band like?? why????

[darkroomindiegames]

Maybe Harold Zoid directs all their programs over there?

Cultural differences, it's also why Japanese people make those pigeon noises when they are shocked and stuff.

I have noticed that trend in a lot of Anime. They always seem to have a very overstated reaction to things when it comes to the opposite sex. Like they've never seen a set of boobs or an ass before. I guess it has to be a cultural thing.

while that's not my thing,i've watched some of thier movies and yes they overact (watch the Japanese Yamato movie) some serious overacting there,but the basic plots are good and it makes a nice change from Hollywoods rubbish...subtitles never hurt anyone

I've seen worse.
So far "slice of life" dramas are the worst they can produce.
Horror films by them are solid, though. (Train to Busan)

Cinderella and the four knights.
Flower boy next door.

(I got these from a local TV channel, and they were pretty obsessed with the Korean culture)
