Have you ever wondered what makes Korean dramas so popular among Asians? Why do you think they stay glued to their television sets time and again to watch series after series that seem to follow the same old plot lines and twists? I believe that these shows are able establish a strong emotional connection with its audience.

And this is the main reason they find these shows so addicting. Life isn't easy. There are times when you feel really happy. But for the most part you are struggling to make a living, or nursing the wounds of your recently concluded love life. Then you watch this television show from Korea and you go: 'Hey, this girl or guy is going through exactly the same thing I am.'

So you start watching every episode of the show. Each time an episode ends with a cliffhanger forcing you to watch the start of the next one in order to find out what happens. Sometimes these Korean dramas have stories that become unrealistically depressing. Characters start losing their memories and getting into freak accidents for no apparent reason.

And all the more viewers will watch. They believe that if this character can overcome such difficult problems, then perhaps there is hope for them as well. At times, the series has a happy ending which is all well and good. Other times, the story ends in tragedy. And you seem to agree with the sad ending because that's life.

Being able to watch the lives of others unfold-even if these people are of a different culture or race-is very endearing. After all, we are all humans. We have the same emotions and the same yearning for love. The best Korean actors and actresses have the power to make you cry and laugh together with them. To make you empathize in all their endeavors.

People who watch Korean dramas do so because they want to get on the roller coaster ride of emotions that only a well-made drama can give.
