Well if you lack inspiration and creativity mangas are your go-to. And it’s not just Korea taking notes, just look at how many western acclaimed films copy and paste Japanese mangas.

What's a webtoon?
It's similar to a manga but on the webb/online.

Webtoon korean comics. Manga is a comic book made by Japanese, and I think Japanese comics are better than webtoon in terms of drawing. I wish they did Kaichou Maid Sama as a k-drama. It would be hard for them to find a blonde Usui but it would still be nice.
