well, finally. when i went back to taiwan this summer, i was not happy to see so much korean content on tv. :| though i also criticize taiwan for always using the same group of idol actors for their dramas, therefore i don't bother much with twdramas either.
i think this is a good idea b/c it's kinda crazy to how much korean content is on taiwanese channels these days. i have a cousin who doesn't know any taiwanese celebrities and has been living in taiwan her whole life. idk i'm disappointed b/c she only cares about korean idols .__.
kinda switching from television to music, but taiwanese fans really need to stop criticizing their own artists for being to ~kpop like~ b/c i really want some new taiwanese idols/artists than the current ones now.
i also think taiwan needs more new idols. all the popular ones right now are nearing 30 or over 30. there needs to be fresher/younger faces in the industry
I think they just mean that... well I honestly can't remember the last time a new idol group came out in Taiwan that was notable.
I think the key to Korea's success is the constant massive flood of new entertainers. Before anyone can get bored of the current idols, new ones come out to keep you eating it up. Makes it really easy to overshadow the Taiwanese old-timers. Plus, teenagers now have less fondness for the idols everyone else fell in love with 10 years ago. They are out of their age group and not playing the same roles anymore. I have a hard time imagining thirteen-year-old girls swooning over F4 members playing... fathers.
Oops, sorry if my comment sounded that way. I do love all the current artists in Taiwan, but I think having newer idols debut will increase the fandom and popularity of Taiwan entertainment. Younger idols will appeal to the teen/tween fans more, and add more variety to what we have now in the entertainment circle. ^^
I want more Taiwanese dramas, too! I honestly don't like Kdramas very much because the plotlines are all too similar and the dubbing is awkward >_< Though the plotline portion may be due to how many Kdramas there are now
There should be a balance so I don't feel that limiting the amount of foreign dramas as opposed to local shows is bad in any way. I've taken to watching a lot of American shows such as CSI (though that is because I love crime shows!) and American movies instead. Or the occasional French or Russian movie :P
And seconding your comment on needing more Taiwanese idols ^0^v I seriously only follow Jay Chou, S.H.E., and to some lesser extent, Wang Lee Hom and Show Luo.
