Well, a lot of you may have know I major in media culture studies so I am very particular about the dramas especially from China and so on. Recently, you may know that I am obssessed with the Dae Jang Geum(DJG). That's why I am able to make some basic comparisons.
1. DJG is more of a micro-level of history and CHD (Chinese historical dramas) are more of macro-level perspective on history.
2. Both Korean and China started of with mystification of historical characters to kickstart the production in historical dramas. China has a lot of dramas on historical figures like Zheng He, HZGG and so on...
3. DJG is more focused on arousing audience's emotions and feeling while CHD is more focused on arousing and challenging the wits of audience.
4. Both shows the evils of the courts and the entire palace.
5. DJG is slower in pace than CHD.
This is my rational opinions after watching and pacifying my emotions.
Very different indeed!!
Unfortunately, we do not have a rich culture to draw from. Otherwise, this is definitely a niche market for us!!
