How to make a good dorama? Pff-f-f-f! There’s nothing easier! Take something a bit thinner, but that stretches. Something that pulls in tightly. Stuff the main character into it. Make sure he’s unusual! The military types will feel sour. Spies stink, and you won’t find a fresh businessman in daylight with a searchlight! Don’t mess up—watch out! Carefully, as much as the size allows, push in school lessons, cram business into it until it’s unbearable, and then fill it to the brim with a strange neighbor who’s obsessed with sex. After that, take a firmer carrot and tamp it all down. With feeling, with sense, and in the right sequence. Don’t forget to squint and mention chaebols! Voilà! We have a wonderful dorama!
