A Bengaluru techie’s heartbreaking 90-minute suicide video has sparked conversations about relationships and unrealistic expectations. Among his emotional confessions, one statement stood out: “Meri wife din bhar Romantic K-Drama dekhti thi, aur inka expectation tha ki main Korean aadmi jaisa ban jau, par main Indian aadmi hu aur main aise hi theek hu, thank you.” This statement draws attention to the growing obsession with Korean dramas, especially among women, and how they might shape expectations in ways that real-life partners find hard to meet.
K-Dramas are a global phenomenon, gripping audiences across all age groups. Whether it’s the handsome Lee doing everything in his power to win back his secretary Kim in What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim, Lee helping Lim believe in her own beauty in True Beauty, or Yoo Shi Jin falling head over heels for Kang Mo Yeon in Descendants of the Sun, these K-dramas are like fairytale romances. But first let's find out why are these shows so addictive? Why Are K-Dramas So Irresistible? One of the biggest draws of K-Drama is their picture-perfect characters.
The male leads are not just handsome and perfectly groomed (Korean actors are beautiful after all!), they are also shown to be incredibly charming, sensitive, and thoughtful. They are seeing going to great lengths to show their love through grand romantic gestures, setting a standard of perfection that is extremely hard to find in reality. These narratives make relationships seem magical, making one believe that there exists a world where problems simply vanish with love and patience, which is so far from the challenges of real relationships.
The dramas also expertly balance emotional highs and lows. They make audiences deeply invested in the lives of the characters, where they feel affected with every twist and turn. Another factor is the respect and politeness shown by male protagonists, who are rarely seen mistreating their partners, adding to their overall appeal.
They transport us to a world where love can conquer all challenges - with picture-perfect moments that feel straight out of a storybook. However, can there ever be a relationship which is so perfect? The Unrealistic Side of K-Dramas While they are entertaining, K-Dramas can set unachievable expectations for relationships. The men are endlessly patient, romantic, and willing to sacrifice everything for love.
For viewers, especially those who are feeling vulnerable or dissatisfied in their own relationships, this can lead to comparisons, creating pressure for real-life partners to live up to these exaggerated ideals. The techie’s tragic words remind us of the potential impact of K-Dramas on relationships. While these dramas are a source of joy and escapism for many, it is important to be fully present in the moment and understand that these characters are fictional.
Real relationships are built on mutual understanding, imperfections, and realistic expectations. So if you can appreciate K-Dramas for their entertainment value without letting them decide how you approach love, is crucial to maintaining healthy, grounded relationships.
