Subject and Genre
Japanese drama occupy subjects which are considered taboo in K-series. Japanese drama is more revolutionary inside their subjects; their stories may involve a lady having sex with multiple partners, a person and a lady having sex because their real lovers don't provide them with the "comfort," and many more.
Korean drama is restricted to three genres: historical, family, and romance, which is often attributed to the historical pride of Koreans inside their history and their desire to educate Asians and, ultimately, the world about the Korean culture.
