Since the THAAD thing, SK entertainment industry cannot tell the story about enter China market hence their estimate value shrinks.
So that US capital took the control easily, and of course the finance bro ask to lowering the cost.
Thus Hengdian + Taobao are dominating SK film industry, most of the production fee for sets and props are spent in China.
SK only got cast fee for themselves (excluding Hengdian's background actor fee)
That is exactly how multinational behemoths swallow up local industry.
But in this case, China and USA actually were competing on security issue in the East Asia however resulted in South Korea’s vibrant media industry has gradually come under the control of Chinese and American investors.
What happened to Chinese language cinema? I feel like after the golden years of HK cinema, Chinese movies disaööeared into oblivion. I tried watching Wandering Earth and honestly didn‘t like it and I think it is also mirrored in IMDB ratings - 5.9. None of modern Chinese movies have the rawness of HK movies from early 20s and 90s and Korean thrillers.
CDramas seem to have imported the Kawaii culture from Japan which just makes the movie scream that it‘s a superficial garbage with no depth.

The majority consumers reshape current cdrama, invisible hand is not on your side for now.
Since HK movie was killed by Hollywood and Kdrama is being killing by streaming media, Cdrama be not alike to them is not a bad thing.
Like it or not, censorship remains a problem with Chinese entertainment. The threat of it does suppress creativity, though lately it seems creators are becoming more bold. Still, film makers are channeled towards creating "safe" formulaic works over breaking boundaries - you're not going to see a lot of works that are "raw" because those tend to be the most dangerous from a censor perspective.
This is not necessarily a bad thing as entertainment is a vehicle for cultural values. But it does limit the global export market.

Cool I guess. South East Asia is not a place famous for people with a good taste in TV shows. These kinds of TV shows are good to market to shallow people for mass consumption but they won‘t leave any mark.we don't care about your opinion.. sorry
