The most popular K-Dramas are the formulaic 1 guy and 1 girl, with a 3rd person for a love triangle. Don’t worry though, true love wins and the 3rd wheel finds someone as well. Eg: Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha.

CCP would heartily endorse these brainless plots. Consumers would eat it up.

Not everything needs to be Infernal Affairs. The vast majority of Korean TV isn’t Infernal Affairs. I will admit that China could never make Parasite, but that’s ok. The metric we’ve chosen is popularity, not Oscars.

Side note I’m a bit sad that Hong Kong can’t make Infernal Affairs type of movies anymore. It would show the Party in a bad light.

Oh yeah, I'm sure they will have their success as well, their drama series with the emperor in imperial China (whatever it's called, I don't know) is also very popular. It's just that relative to their massive size, they will stay underperforming as long as the CCP cuts every head which steps a little outside their comfort zone.
