I just wish we could have some Steam OT arguments re-enacted like this.
They both make really good ones, though Japan has the edge in horror. They are revolutionizing the genre.
I compare movies - like any other product or persons - just based by their own merit, and not based on their origins.
As in any product / "service" of the Entertainment medium there's gems and there's generic and / or bad stuff, it's a highly subjective topic given that beauty is the eye of the beholder.
I love Resident Evil 2 (2019) and 4 (2005), some of my favorite games, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, you can just tell they're Japanese because of that inevitable "goofy crap" you mentioned. In RE4, since it's an old game, I guess it does add some kind of charm, but they just aren't capable of making anything perfectly normal and serious, like Far Cry 2 for example. There always has to be something really weird, not unique or anything like that, but just randomly weird in a just for the sake of it in a typically Japanese way that I cannot really describe now (well, I can't be bothered, I'm about to go eat), but I just know it when I see it, it's that unmistakable and inevitable Japanese weirdness.
Mid - Korean Drama, Chinese Wuxia drama (costume dramas)
Low Tier - Western Drama, Mexican Novelas
Bottom Tier - Japanese Drama, Chinese Modern Drama (drama set in modern times)
Probably because they portray passion in k-dramas whereas in j-dramas, their version of love is just about confessing a crush.
Japanese drama does not really improve lately.
