Kdrama Survey

The reason why I search for new reaction channels is because I am searching for an old show I enjoyed a lot or a not so popular new show. I found your channel through the reincarnated assassin anime. If I ever watch a new hot show and want reactions for it, I can easily find and end up going through multiple reactions, but I rarely look at their other reactions. In contrast, I search through the entire playlist of reactors who react to older shows because, usually, I end up finding more old shows that I like from a time when not many reaction channels existed (or at least good ones).

please react to descendants of the sun

I think the balance is good. Bcs mr sunshine must be watched at least once in one’s life

Timeless classics just hit different

i feel like you guys would love "healer - or k2 etc they are pre classic. action/romance. male lead bad ass falls inlove etc

My answer is probably not helpful at all but I like a balance between timeless classics and new shows :D

There are a lot of shows from 2020-2022 that I would want y’all to check out so I picked the older/classics option (even if it feels a little wrong to classify them as that lol), but I’m honestly good with a mix. If there’s a new show you’ve heard of that suits your interest then I think you should react to it. Then you can make the next K-Drama something that’s pre-2023. Same thing for genres too. A lot of the time romance dramas get recommended and will win polls for K-Drama reaction channels and those can be good but there are also so many other non-romance K-Dramas that I wish people would check out too. You have a pretty good mix, genre wise, of the ones you’ve reacted to, so I think as long as you keep that up and do a mix of newer and older shows you’ll be fine. I think if you solely concentrate on newer or older shows or a specific genre etc. is when you can potentially alienate people. Oh, and I know views are important but I hope that periodically you’re willing to give shows a chance that haven’t really been reacted to by big channels before, especially if you see the audience you already have recommending it. Like Beyond Evil, for example, is an amazing show and was never reacted to by any big channels because everyone reacted to Vincenzo instead (they were released at the same time). It would be nice to see someone periodically give shows like that a chance. Shows that people love that have always been overlooked by big channels.

I'd say timeless / older shows because it's so difficult to keep up with so many new kdramas, and it's not like anime where the episodes are really short. If I have time I try to check out new kdramas, but I've been watching kdramas for a while so I'm picky, something is going to have to be super fun for me to complete it (eg marry my husband) and if i'm not impressed I quickly drop the show (eg my demon lol) so most of the time I don't watch or recommend that many newer kdramas (so it's not like they're not good just most of the time I've had no time to watch or it didn't impress me enough so I never finished it). Most of the time I just really want to rewatch my all time favourites but along with someone else and get new perspectives, that's why I watch reactions for the more older/timeless shows.

I only watch reactions to shows I’ve seen and I never really watch shows as they come out so I’m never usually interested in reactions to newer ones. Maybe others are similar idk. I tend to stick to a specific genre as well and I’m hard to please so I only have a few favourites I actually look for reactions of.

As far as Kdramas go I definitely prefer the newer ones but that's because I've only been watching a couple years now.

gotta peep the kdramas during the 2014-2018 era, for me that’s when kdramas were at a high. “Fated to love you” “Oh My Venus” “Doctor Romantic” “The Healer” and a few others

I watch both new and older shows. However, I do think that some of the older classics (2016-2020 especially) hit differently. Many of the current ones tend to try to appeal to a wider market or fast release but not always in a successful way. I'm always open to trying just about any show but I do find that requests often focus on just certain shows or requests for the same ones over and over. Many shows that I consider top tier get overlooked due to more popular ones. That's fine in some ways cause I do really understand picking ones that bring good numbers. But on a personal note, alot of those shows I love were before reaction channels were even a thing. I don't have anyone in my family or friends that even watch kdramas. So when reaction channels became a thing, it has become a fun thing for me because finally I can take part in discussions about these shows and watching along brings others viewpoints or talks about things I might have missed. So sometimes, when I wish for or suggest a show, its because I truly think the show was good or that the reactor will really like it based on their other show reactions. But in spite of all that, each person runs their channel in the way that works best for them and that's the way it should be.

The thing about timeless classics is they require more time to watch. They were made before the recent streaming "standard" of 16 episodes or less, so you'd have some with 18 episodes with at least 1 hour watch time. So I'd say timeless classics but less episodes being posted per week.

Where’s the “I don’t care. I just want heat” option 😂 Ideally, I’d want a great show that also does numbers for the channel. So, I’d lean towards shows like Blood Hounds, Moving, Marry my husband, Attorney Woo, The Glory, The worst of Evil first because they are new or have hype (more likely to do numbers), something y’all would enjoy and great shows. Then I would move on to the classic bangers if nothing else is doing numbers, like Itaewon Class, Healer, Signal, Extracurricular, Strangers from Hell, Reply 1988, Stranger, Misaeng and Beyond Evil etc. There are so many great shows if you go back a couple years (2015-). Basically it’s gotta be heat all the time, if there’s nothing new in the pipeline that is good I think it makes sense to go a couple years back for the classics

It doesn't matter but I hope you thought well. I hope you're not stressed about this.

i feel like older shows are better because its easier to predict if theyre going to be a hit or a miss.

I personally like timeless/classic better than recent but, I have been watching Kdramas since 2008 so I've seen a lot that are really worth watching.

i vote for the older shows because personally right now I'm not in a position where I have enough time to keep up with lots of new shows and I'm unfamiliar with them. I'd prefer to watch reactions to older shows where it's more likely I've watched and liked the shows enough to want to watch the reactions to it as opposed to new shows that I have to invest more time into.

I swear, timeless or classic kdramas hits different! specially 2016 kdramas

With newer shows, there is always the relevancy bias, and if it's currently airing, you dont know if it stays the same in quality till the end, most dramas tend to suffer from inconsistent writing towards the end. I think its better to give dramas some time before watching them.

Is it just me or my post being deleted? all im saying is that i want them to react to Descedants of the sun or weightlifting kim bok joo. i get its repetitive but i just want to want the kdrama i love so much :)

1 Kdrama being older classic could be good choice than constantly going for "new" shows only. "My Love From the Stars" is always timeless choice :D

I care more for reactions to the "older" Kdramas as I tend to like them more but there are also some great new shows "A Shop for Killers" is a good example of this which is why I can't wait for the reaction to it.

I’m okay with both, newer ones can be hit or miss. Wouldn’t want you to miss out on capitalizing on a newer show while you can. There’s really only one newer show you haven’t gotten to yet that’ll do numbers on YouTube which you know since you bolded it in your update post. Would happily accept any of the shows that were in bold, new or classic 🙂

I honestly like both.

It probably takes more time for people to find reactions to older/timeless drama on YT, because they might not search for it immediately when it's posted, but personally I end up looking for reactions to the dramas I've just watched or my old favorites every once in a while. And in the end, will be happy to check out the reactions whether the show is newer or older. But if I can only choose one, then definitely timeless option.

Are you planning on doing a test to see if people will watch reactions for older kdramas?

Thanks for the poll!

Tbh it just depends on what the show is. I don’t care when it came out, just if I like it. I like the mix that you react to and whilst there hasn’t been anything recently that interests me, I know there will be in the future!

As long as I get to see y'all react, I don't care about how old or new the Kdramas are. Not sure why, but I only watch reactions to shows I've already seen.

For sure timeless and classics. They are proven by time and not just hyped up because of them being newer. There are so many good and gold kdramas that are just older

I'm so confused. How are timeless or classics defined as "new"? Maybe that means new to these reactors? 🤔

What is the question? Is it what we would like more of?
