this show is getting really popular. How did it pull off this huge audience?

Korean entertainment is on a roll lately

Kpop - BTS got hugely popular outside the usual kpop audience and got nominated for a Grammy

Kmovies - Parasite got critical acclaim and won a lot of awards

now finally my favorite of all three

Kdrama - Squid Game it is topping Netflix in a lot of countries. Let's see how much more popular it gets

i honestly think people got bored of english speaking content. same-ish actors, remakes, reboots, superheroes, that's the content we've been getting for quite some time. they can't even properly do romance. debatable scrips and gazillion sex scenes. i don't think people are prudes, they just got bored of it, me included.

as for k-content, both kdramas and kpop work differently than american industry, it's new, different, interesting, and has high production. the hype around bts and parasite certainly helped a lot. other foreign content had success too such as elite and casa de papel, and if you ask me interest about foreign content will only grow

Deserved, my sisters all hate/aren't interested in kpop/kdramas and still follow her which says something

She's so gorgeous and has so much potential as an actress

I think this is true. I can't remember the last time I watched a US show let alone enjoy it. For a long time the only English speaking show I watched was Game of Thrones and yeah... That didn't end well.

People these days are more open to shows in other languages and cultures and are discovering that more times than not they are better than English speaking ones.

US shows these days are so badly and lazily written that I've completely given up on them. And they only seem to make remakes of stuff now instead of any original stories.

Netflix is really helping with this. Thanks to them shows like Money Heist, Dark and The Untamed were given a massive international audience.

I personally never in my life thought I'd be watching a German TV show (I didn't even think that was a thing?) but Dark ended up being one of my favourite series ever.

I got interested in Squid game after seeing viral pics of her on Twitter. I had been seeing people mention the show randomly for a few days then I saw her pics. I was intrigued and immediately went to watch it. She's really gorgeous.

I didn't know she is Jennie's friend. There are at least 5 viral posts about her on my time-line everyday.

i can't remember it either. rip game of thrones, how to ruin your show in one season. it's still better than the finale of how i met your mother tho. if you never watched the show imagine how terrible it was if got finale was better. the writers ruined 9 seasons in 10 minutes. i'm not exaggerating, it's literally 10 minutes. they erased 7 seasons of character development in 10 minutes. beat that! i haven't watched a single minute of the series since, it's unwatchable. forever bitter.

anyways...

you're german? i know that SandyBee3 is/lives in germany (one of those two :)). i'm not familiar with german cinematography but i occasionally speak with a german girl on tumblr. she told me that german tv shows are terrible and most of them are cheap soaps (again, her words). she expected dark to be a mess but was mindblown how good it was. she would have never guessed that was possible lol.

which reminds me i need to watch s2 and 3

I'm the furthest thing from German lmao. That's why I was shocked at finding myself watching a German show and being mind blown.
