k drama VS c drama : The Definite Comparison Guide...

While the entire world is in lock down{due to corona virus} korean & chinese dramas are getting more & more popular these days....

One of the most question whether a rookie / veteran to K & C Dramas think is which countries drama are good? what are differences between these countries dramas?  

***Note : Here I don't want to discuss which countries drama's are better!!!! , Because both countries have both their strengths & weaknesses. Here I want to compare both countries dramas. If there are any points you want me to add / missing points you can feel free to comment in comment section.....& I watched 90+ dramas as of Dec,2020 , it's my comparison as of my experience in these dramas....

K-Dramas VS C-Dramas :

k-dramas vs c-dramas / source

Both k-dramas & c-dramas have pros and cons, it depend on the drama you watch....

Below is the detailed comparison between korean dramas and chinese dramas.....

1.Duration :

As every chinese drama watcher knows some of c-dramas contain 50-60 dramas with duration of 28-47 minutes.....which is almost 28+ hours😱😱, some dramas contain 80 episodes too....I will never go towards those dramas....this is one of a major drawback chinese dramas have.

Now coming to korean dramas, k-dramas contain 16 episodes in 90%+ dramas...and duration is between 60 min - 90 min , so it's almost 17-20 hours which is manageable but the waiting for next episode is like torturing yourself.....because k-dramas release 2ep. per week and you have to wait for it.....a drama will usually last approx. 2 months.

2.Production :

Arthdal chronicles

K-drama & C-drama production systems are completely different....., k-drama has live production system i.e., the filming will go on while the drama is airing. But c-drama is different c-drama production system is entirely pre-filmed i.e., it is fimed before airing everytime...., C-drama production system is better than k-drama system as there might be mistakes in production of k-drama system as they depend on viewers expectations...

3.Screen Play...

Source

Actually most of c-dramas are taken from novels.....and now a days some of k-dramas are taken from animes...and most of k-dramas are done by pro-writers....

It depends on drama in this case either for k-drama / c-drama......becoz both countries have some of best screenplay's I've seen.

4.culture / Genre

Love Alarm starring Song kang , kim so hyun , Jung go rum 

As everyone knows k-dramas are famous for Modern & romance genres....whereas c-dramas are famous for Historical & fantasy genres...but Lately c-dramas are more focused on modern dramas......

Both k-dramas & c-dramas have their strengths in this aspect.....
