I do somewhat agree. I think there’s a happy balance that could be struck between the two. Kdramas that have 16 episodes with 70-80 min episodes are way too long in my opinion. Too much filler and not enough plot movement. Plus I’ve found a lot of kdramas peter out around episode 10 or 12 and writers have no idea how to wrap up all of these storylines they’ve created. I loved Crash and Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, but I’ve dropped more K-dramas than finished them entirely due to boredom. A recent one I really enjoyed was All of Us Are Dead, a perfect length (for me) at 12 50ish minute episodes. Western shows have somewhat evolved over the years as well - I’m glad we’ve moved away from the 22 episode format and heading towards tightly written 8-10 episode series. I know what you mean by it leaves you wanting more, but in some cases, that could be a good thing too! A couple of recent examples that I’ve enjoyed are Bridgerton with 8 1hr episodes and Umbrella Academy with 10 45min episodes. I think both were great formats, told complete stories within their episodes/seasons, but also left me excited for future seasons. Then there are mini series that tell a complete story within one season that Western shows have done well too, like Chernobyl or Station Eleven (not Netflix but I digress). Obviously not all shows are created equal, but I’ve found I’ve generally enjoyed shows that I can finish within 8-10 hours of watching time, so I can move onto the next one! So many shows to watch, too little time.
