Koreans are true masters of the comedy genre.
For those who have just started watching dramas, their humor may seem quite specific. But believe me, once you try it, it’s hard to stop.
What’s good about South Korean TV series is their fiery mixture of comedy, romance and tragedy. One episode makes the viewer laugh out loud, the second plunges into a gloomy mood against the backdrop of the trials befalling the main characters. This is why many people love dramas: in a couple of hours you can cry and laugh a lot.
Meticulous viewers often complain that Korean jokes teeter on the edge of what is permitted. The series really lacks so-called “toilet” humor, but this is explained by the specifics of the local mentality. Well, Koreans love to discuss things that are taboo and even indecent in Russia or Europe. And they do it publicly, without embarrassing anyone. At the same time, the writers know their stuff. They can even play out peculiar jokes in such a way that the audience gasps.
For example, “Laughter in Waikiki” was rated differently by Russian fans. On the one hand, most of the plot is built on humor below the belt. On the other hand, you will have to laugh a lot. If you put aside bias and prejudice, you can truly appreciate this comedy series.
And for those who are strongly opposed to specific Korean jokes, there are other dramas: light, unobtrusive, filled with sharp satire and witty intellectual jokes.
By the way, Koreans are fans not only of comedy series, but also of humorous shows. They believe that laughter brings good luck, and therefore they laugh often and from the heart. Having fun really helps take your mind off difficulties. So, if you want to relax and change your usual environment, welcome to the world of Korean comedies.
