With the big Korean wave, many people have been familiar with things related to Korean, like K-pop, Korean foods and culture and of course the dramas. Almost people around the world, especially Indonesian these days is already make Korean dramas as their main entertainment.
There are many reasons why people
are so attracted and even addicted to Korean Dramas. Some people found the
stories are well-written and the etiquette and mannerisms are also interesting.
Not only that, it was also wonderful to watch a culture immersed so beautifully
in the traditions of the past with carriers of the modernization of society. Some
people are also found that the dramas show that we are all the same -
anxieties, worries about love and life, and that we all seek the same peace and
respect in the world. We all strive to put the best of ourselves and we all
struggle whether it’s approval or promotion.
Besides having good values that made
people attracted to it, watching korean dramas also also have negative impacts like
consuming a lot of time because they are highly addicting. But, it all depends
on what kind of drama it is, or what kind of student is watching it to find the
effects. For example, if a very studious student is watching a Korean drama but
still manages to get 100s on every test, that is considered neutral as it has a
0% effect on that student’s life. Negative effects may happen, when a student
gets caught up in watching dramas, leaving no time to study. This leads her to
not score very well, which brings a negative outcome. But the essence is same
to whatever distracts the student, if she has a movie series or books that the
student likes, and completely has no focus on studying, the same outcome
arrives. So Korean Dramas are not to blame for distraction, but rather the
student’s ability to focus. The outcome is no negative
affects from specifically watching Korean
dramas. However, there is a positive effect from watching Korean
dramas: Allowing the mind to expand diversity and knowledge of South
Korea, to learning the language slowly. It is very important to respect
the growing diversity as of right now, so Korean Dramas are a perfect way to
get to know South Korea more, and explore their customs and traditions, or
trends through K dramas.
There are some things you need to know to overcome the addiction. First thing,
if you are addicted to something, means you are feeling lonely. So try to make
many friends, move to places, play your favorite games, talk to near ones and
do whatever you want to do, which makes you happy.
You are finding your happiness in
other world (not real world), where you and your favorite characters only
present in that abstract world. you are letting those characters to take your
mind and heart. First, think that they are only dramas and movies. The
characters are not real, watch the making videos of dramas and movies then you
will realize that those are just an act.
Each Korean drama episode start with
curious start, and they make all the boredom/unrelated scenes in the middle and
end up with a nice twist, so that we enthusiastic about the next episode. So
don’t watch episode to episode, watch like episode 1 to the middle of episode 1
and from the middle of episode 1 to middle of the episode 2 like wise. So you
can’t be addicted with curiosity. Don’t waste much time on dramas, by using
above watching method as there is no curiosity you can watch the drama whenever
you feel bore or whenever you got free time.
Just like how you would overcome
other addiction issue, to stop your addiction to korean drama, you need to find
other things to do whenever your addiction knocks in, and really try to focus.
Even washing the dishes helps. On the first week, you might have to force
yourself. It gets easier over time, though, and after few weeks, you’re finally
free.
