known in the whole word. The Korean
drama’s lovers are not only teenagers but also
adult people. From the young people to old
people, korean dramas are being their favorite.

7. KOREAN

8. Thesis
Korean dramas have good stories that contain good
morals and inspiring things to their audiences.
Besides that, Korean dramas also have handsome
and pretty players. These things are the reasons
why these dramas are being so famous. However,
these attractive dramas still have negative impacts.

9. HAS POSITIVE SIDESALSO NEGATIVE SIDES

10. Arguments
As I said before, Korean Dramas have good
actress and actors. That thing is the K-Drama’s
excellence that can attract the K- Drama’s lovers.
Sometimes, K- drama’s lovers only attracted by the
player’s performance. This is not supposed to be
like that. Movies, dramas, theaters, etc are made
to amuse people and to give moral values.

11. Good dramas sometimes can make the audiences
cried. That thing is normal, but to take the sorrow
too deeply in to your heart until you really hate the
player that is not good. K-drama lovers sometimes
did that. They are not only love the K-drama but
they become so fanatic.
Arguments

12. Arguments
Sometimes, they copy the actor’s style in to their
real life, stalk all details about their favorite
actress or actor, and willing to spend much money
only to buy needless goods about their favorite
actress and actor.

13. Recommendation
We can’t deny that the player’s quality is the
attractive point. But, become so fanatic is really
not good. You may follow the player’s good
attitude, style, etc. but, it is not mean you have to
be same as the player. You have to be yourself and
do your best. Then, you can be better than the
player does.

14. Finally, I am going to remind you that Korean-
drama is only a story. And the aims of a story are
to give moral values and also to amuse people. Not
to give sorrow in your life and not to make the
audiences become obsess to be same as the
player.
Recommendation
