I like how it's short. Why spend so much of your life watching the same drama with ongoing plots? Long dramas just add to that negative image of couch potatoe swho watches dramas all day.

Ok, I may be completely wrong, but I vaguely remember reading someplace (many, many, many years ago) that the Japanese television studios used BBC serials (e.g. Upstairs Downstairs), as the model for the trendy drama format. Beyond the length of the series, it also affected the type of stories chosen and how they were filmed...
But like I said, I could be completely off my rocker.... ^_^;;;

Yup, totally agree, have stopped watching any Korean dramas unless it's highly praised by the majority like "My Girl". Only watch JDramas now since they don't drag on and on like the Korean ones. I do, however, love the Korean movies though.

I was going to say, programs over here in England tend to just be 10 or so episodes even though some series (like Spooks) have more than 1 series. I was thinking over here it might be because the programs are expensive and England is small Tongue

I think they aren't short - but not long either. Just... perfect ^^
Far more better than the stupid soap operas with thousands of episodes >_<

You guys have to realize something... Japanese TV also have these American-like dramas that last for YEARS. You just don't see them uploaded to D-Addicts. These include:

- Hagure Keiji Junjoha - finally ended after 18 YEARS!
- Abarenbo Shogun - Aired from 1978 to 2003, with over 800 eps total.
- Mito Komon - Even longer than Abarenbo Shogun.
- Abunai Deka - A 1980's American-style cop series. Lasted several seasons, with movies still being produced today.
- Omiya-san - completed its third season, but I expect this show to be TV Asahi's replacement for HKJ.
- Wataru Seken wa oni Bakari - Starting its 8th season this Spring. Each season is about 50 or so episodes, and has been on the air since 1990. Probably the closest thing that Japan has to an American soap opera.

I'm glad they are short, there's no way I can watch them being long. I'm not much of a Jdrama fan so watching long ones make me irritated or loose interest so I tried to ignored them altogether. So far I've only watched 5 Jdramas and they are not bad but I'm more into Kdramas. I'm a Kdrama addict!
