Filipino Teleseryes vs. Korean Dramas

Written by Kring Elenzano on August 11th, 2011. Posted in Film and TV, Humor and Crack, Korea, Pop Culture

I know many people who enjoy watching local teleseryes and Koreanovelas. I may not be one of them but I sure am surrounded by family members and friends who literally spend hours each day following the lives of the dramas’ characters. I recently gave ‘Secret Garden’ a chance and watching it inspired me to this. With “extensive research” and hours of reading synopses, I came up with a chart, which showcases and differentiates the cliches of Filipino teleseryes and Korean dramas. Yes, I made this shit myself on Photoshop and I don’t know why I suddenly have so much time in my hands (I don’t).

Admit it, you know it’s true.

Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against TV dramas, I just love films a lot more. People have told me my love story is so much like a Koreanovela. BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Trust me, it’s not. I doubt Jimmy will kill himself so he could donate his eyes for me (Stairway to Heaven) or you know, wear expensive, fancy tracksuit while kissing the whipped cream off my upper lip.
