What do you get when you combine a broken family and betrayal, throw in some adultery and revenge and top it all off with a dash of violence? A daytime soap opera.
Provocative, exaggerated and often unbelievable story lines have defined daytime soap operas almost as long as they've been in existence. The formula is a no-brainer: The more dramatic, the better. Sprinkle in a few scenes where a mean mother-in-law slaps her son's wife on the cheek or a guilt-free man lashes out at a woman with chauvinistic, insulting remarks and chances are the ratings will soar. While this is nothing new in the world of daytime soap operas, these racy and controversial elements are quickly creeping into prime-time dramas as well, when children are more likely to see them. They're also getting even more provocative - and therefore controversial - as shows go all-out to gain more viewers. The trend has even given birth to the word makjang, which literally means "blind-end", implying that things hav...| More | ||||||||

Staff Reporter The government is vowing stricter control on television materials amid growing viewer complaints over sex, violence and indecency. Although the strengthened decency standards will be enforced to all national, local and cable channels, the Korea Communications Standards Commission (KCSC) said, the dramas and game shows on national networks clearly seem to be the biggest targets. It remains to be seen how television stations will react to the plan of heavier fines and sanctions, as they have been moaning that the commission's decency rules were vague and curbing creativity.

The debate over taste and decency has reached a point where extreme dramas and blunt game shows have become part of daily vocabulary here. "Extreme dramas, based...| More | ||||||||

Korea Times Correspondent Even before K-pop, Filipinos were long fans of imported dramas. Soap operas and drama series have become a staple for daytime and primetime viewing in the Philippines. In the 1990s, Mexican telenovelas became the mania, with huge hits like "Rosalinda" and "Marimar" attracting ratings above 50 percent. Asian dramas, including Korean, have become hits in the 2000s. The huge demand from viewers for Asian telenovelas has prompted Philippine TV stations to import Korean and Taiwanese dramas. Top Korean drama series (locally called "Koreanovelas") like "Lovers in Paris", "Full House", "My Name is Kim Sam-soon", "Stairway to Heaven" and "Coffee Prince" were imported and dubbed in Filipino, instantly becoming hits. The success of "Dae Jang Geum" (or "Jewel in the Palace") in Korea was also replicated in the Philippines and many other Asian countries. The Taiwanese drama "Meteor Garden" was also a ratings success when it ai...| More | ||||||||
