I used to feel that way, too, but after I started watching more, I kept seeing the moments of greatness in it and then I started feeling it. But I mean, most of our big-name US actors are really terrible, so I don't think there's as much of a difference in acting/over-acting as I originally thought (I just wasn't used to the cultural aspects of, say, grief expression, etc).

I've gotten used to it, but I think there is a pretty stark difference especially in comedy. The first Japanese drama I ever watched was Nodame Cantabile, and it really struck me how... mangaish everything they do is. Like it feels like they're trying to pose like they're in a manga panel all the time, and they're trying to strain the physical comedy to the limit in the sort of exaggerated way you see in manga. I mean, look at any of the scenes where Nodame's getting hit by a paper fan.

I've gotten used to it, but every single person I introduce to J-dramas cringes the first time they watch a drama.

Oh, and I also think a lot of Asian dramas are pretty melodramatic. Like you're not gonna see a scene of some guy crying over a girl while some soulful ballad pounds in the background in Western TV. But K-dramas... hooomagerd.

I think that just comes with the fare, though, since romantic shows are so popular, and you never see stuff like that in Western TV, where it's all about cops and doctors and any romance is a side thing.
