The Tokyo skyline glittered through the floor-to-ceiling windows, all steel and light, a city that had long ago perfected the art of looking forward. Hwang Dong-hyuk sat across from three men who understood him better than anyone in Seoul ever had.Takeshi poured the whiskey. Three fingers each. No ice."You've seen the numbers," he said. "Episode one alone. The debt. The desperation. The violence of simply existing in your world." He smiled. "It plays in Omaha. It plays in Jakarta. It plays everywhere we wanted it to play."Hwang nodded. He'd written the script for a decade, been rejected countless times. Then these men found him. Saw something in his work that Korean broadcasters couldn't—or wouldn't.Kenji spoke next, quieter than Takeshi. The strategist. "The romance episodes in your original draft. The backstories between the guard and the player. The moments of kindness.""I remember.""We were right to cut them. Weren't we?"Hwang thought of the scenes on the cutting room floor. A young guard bringing water to an old player he recognized from his neighborhood. Two contestants sharing a moment of quiet before the next game. Human moments. Korean moments."Viewers don't need them," Hwang said. "The games are the story.""Exactly." Kenji leaned forward. "This is the model now. Not just for one show. For everything. You understand what we're building?"Hwang understood perfectly. He'd understood from the first meeting.
For decades, Korean drama had been defined by what Japan could never quite master—the pure romance, the family saga, the tearful reconciliation. Korean television had built a global audience on the back of stories where the worst thing that could happen was a terminal illness or a chaebol mother's disapproval. Wholesome. Predictable. Korean.The Japanese survival genre had always been different. Darker. More willing to ask what people became when everything was stripped away. Manga like Kaiji didn't flinch from the ugliness. Battle Royale didn't pretend children wouldn't kill each other. Liar Game understood that trust was just another weapon."And now," Takeshi said, "you've dressed our stories in your faces. Your actors. Your locations. And the world thinks this is what Korea makes now.""It is what Korea makes now," Hwang said. "I'm Korean. This came from me.""Of course." Takeshi's smile was patient. "And yet, without our Kaiji, without our Liar Game—would this exist? Would any of this exist?"Hwang didn't answer. They both knew the truth.The second round of whiskey came."The next phase," Kenji said, "is the romance. The thing you're best at. We need you to kill it."Hwang's glass paused halfway to his lips.
>>218165058What a whore!
"Not literally. But make it ugly. Make it transactional. Make it something people are embarrassed to want." Kenji pulled out a tablet, scrolled through images. "Look at what's in development now. Fifteen new survival shows across three platforms. All greenlit because of you. How many have the kind of love stories that made your industry famous?"Hwang scrolled. Saw the loglines. Saw the concept art. Saw bodies and blood and desperation."None," he admitted."Exactly. And the ones that do"—Kenji pointed to a single title—"this one. The producer wants a romantic subplot. Two contestants protecting each other. Very your country.""What happens to it?""Nothing. It gets buried. Lost in the noise. And when it fails, the next producer learns. And the next. Until no one tries anymore."Hwang set the tablet down. Outside, Tokyo gleamed. He thought of Seoul, of the dramas he'd grown up watching with his mother. The slow burns. The yearning glances. The love that took sixteen episodes to confess and a lifetime to fulfill.He thought of what he'd helped create instead."The violence isn't the point," he said quietly. "Is it?"Takeshi's smile widened. "The violence is the delivery system. The point is what it replaces."Later, walking to his hotel, Hwang's phone buzzed. A text from his mother in Seoul.Watched your show. Too much blood. When will you make something beautiful again?He stared at the screen for a long time.Then he kept walking.
>those jpgyeah, I'm gonna read AI pby schizo whining about squid game for the 15,000 times, just you wait
Mental Illness.>>218165722
>>218166461Around Japanese never relax
>>218166613Because they'll cuck you?
>>218167496Much worse. Unnie you haven't seen Eyes of Dawn?
>>218167528I did but coincidentally I dropped it when the guy's gf cucked him with the Japanese policeman and he walked in on the policeman leaving her room.
>drops one of the greatest korean television shows because of his mental illness more proof nobody should listen to cuckzy's nonsense
>>218167702They should have thought about that before breaking the kdg rule
>>218167619The idea that someone could sit through the FL getting brutally raped, the ML being forced to shoot a child at point blank while the mother watches, and all the abusive commanding officer scenes, only to get filtered by the sex pest detective plotline is incredibly funny to me. I don't even care if it's true or not
>>218167800He's talking about something that happened in episode 1 or 2, so the idiot didn't even get to any of those things.
>>218167838Those things are all present in the first episode (even the scene he's talking about), which is why its so funny. It opens with the FL being raped and you have to get through the scene where the asshole commanding officer makes the ML shoots the kid before you even meet Park Sang-won's character and his japanese gf
cuckzy is finished nobody should take him seriously after disparaging a kdg sacred cow
New rule:1. If there's a portrayal of Japan and it's not negative, no watch

no handbag drama, no watch
they should make a male-coded version of it about a watchmaker
>>218168949>muh handbag https://youtu.be/Si5pQHRRH5w
Did bopeep abandon kdg again ?
>no romance no watch>men shouldn't watch romancewhy do we still accept people that only watch a tiny portion of all kdramas? they know very little about the topic of this general; basically they are ntl-tier, always shitposting about things they know nothing about. in truth, they should have their membership revoked.
>>218169625you don't understand the philosophy of no romance no watch you're the one talking out of your ass
We might see waterboarding in season 2 Made in Korea.
>basically they are ntl-tierhalf those posts probably are ntl, he has literally nothing to add to these threads, so just repeats random shit and tells himself he's contributing between schizo breakdowns.
no romance no watch is a cudgel against the unwashed global masses and their genre preferences that would overtake kdramas if there's no pushback, same thing on a smaller scale in this general. it doesn't literally mean you can only watch shows with romance, but it's an acknowledgement of the major draws of kdramas before squid game ruined everything.
>>218169666you are a fake kdrama fan
>>218169803I've never watched squid game and you're a massive sperg.
>>218169824the real fake kdrama fan is you, the one that doesn't really like anything and would stand on the sidelines while kdramas are destroyed because nothing matters more than keeping your detached nothing matters attitude.
>muh squid gamethis poor chap has been on a 6-year long melty because of a tv show existingthey should put him in a cage and study him to advance neuro cognitive sciences

I don't understand why people on kdg are always fighting. It's sad.

>>218159282>Newfriends chart: imgur.com/a/92Ub01U>Thriller/Dark/Action: imgur.com/a/h8ZuG3nStop adding these.
>>218170745go away
>>218169899nta but you are delusional if you think a few dozen mostly white western males on kdg viewing preferences make or break the SK entertainment machine. And you continue to declare yourself the kdrama messiah. The only way anyone can watch, appreciate, criticize is through your dogma. Delusions of grandeur is a symptom of schizophrenia.
