Brief 2 Reflection

Looking back on my topic proposal and then to my actual curated collection, I think this has translated well from my original thoughts to the actual listicle. I tried to make the collection a bit broad when it came to different sub-genres in kdrama, so that a variety of people could find something they liked. I can't wait to find out whether or not people actually gave these a watch. Kdrama and getting people to be more aware of the cultural diversity in television is something I'm extremely passionate about and therefore I had a lot of fun writing this.

I just hope I can convince people to get away from is the tediousness that is associated with reading subtitles. A lot of people don't watch foreign entertainment for that very reason, however a good actor will tell the story through more than what they are saying and so sometimes I find I don't even need to read the subtitles to understand what is happening.

Here is an article I found while researching, where an Asian-American University Professor named Ji-Yeon Yuh talks about why she thinks Korean Drama is becoming more popular internationally. It's worth the read if you find what I'm talking about interesting.

I really like how informal I've made the language in my collection, I wanted to create a friendly and casual vibe to my writing so that people find that comfortability when reading it. I also wanted to sprinkle my personality over my writing and make people laugh. I think with television shows among others, it's all about everyones individual opinion and taste, so I can state that my collection is definitely not without bias. Holistically, I believe my collection is about bringing an asian culture to a generally westernised audience.
