People should be able to watch what they want and expressive their opinions but not in a rude way of course.
it's not bad that other ethnicities what asian stuff. its a good thing that our culture is spreading. besides people have the right to watch whatever they want. and if those people have something negative to say about it just tell them to not watch it anymore if they hate it so much.
i guess i don't mind other people watching asian stuffs. i just don't like people criticising us asians. that is just so unnecessary.
more caucasians are getting into the asian culture, at least the ones i know. aint a damn thing wrong at all.
i would mind if their purpose is to find flaws so they can make a judgement on the entire culture. they should genuinely enjoy the show, good or bad.
i think its a good thing if other ethnicities watch asian dramas if they like it, it often shows that it is succesful. what i can't stand is other people watching it so that they can take the piss out of the culture or to laugh at the accent. that annoys me so much.
to me it's not a problem cuz i have a Swedish friend who watches k- and j-dramas so it doesn't bother me...
there is nothing wrong with other race watching asain drama, what is up with that korean guy, it should be a compliment that other girls are watching their drama...
I think there shouldn't be such a fuss...i mean, us, asians watch english films as well and we all criticize some of them. so, i guess it's pretty fair in the end.
I think it's up to yourself. Personally I think it sometimes is good that series have English subs, I'm a Chinese in Sweden and I don't always understand everything that they say in Canto.
everyon has the right to watch it i think.. i'm german so i need english subtitles because i don't know any chinese.. and my japanese is poor.. lol ^^
n n... those girls were just complementing korean guys being cute... i would be damn proud if i was the korean guy! well said! n its so much fun if non-asian ppl enjoy asian movies as much as we do! i hav this guy friend.. n he's a south african white.. n he loves asian dramas!! n its so fun.. cos he could even recmmend me wot drama to watch~! but i guess everyone have their own point of view
This topic is kinda dumb... It's like asking how other people feel about watching shows like grey's or anything like that! Sooo racist
Plus everyone has their own opinions It's not only non-Asian people making these comments, plenty of Asian people do too because everyone has their own opinions and you can't ignore Asian people making these comments and just focus on the non-Asians making these comments, it's just not fair. "What?? Asian people are watching Hollywood movies and English shows??" See?...
I think everyone should be able to watch whatever they want to watch. We can't stop people from making comments and everyone is entitled to their own opinions, we just don't have to agree with them. I love asian dramas and I used to try to get some of my "other friends" to watch then but they found them boring so I quit. I didn't get offended, I just realized that everyone has their own interests. Another things I realized is that even with subtitles, you lose alot of the meaning and the hidden jokes behind what is said if you don't really understand the language and that is why "others" make negative comments about asian dramas.
the Korean guy got mad b/c the Vietnamese girls called him hot? ... something here is very very wrong <_<
I think its great i mean thats y subtitles are there for. Its great to learn about other cultures and thru their food and tv show movies whatever are a great way to go.
of course it is unless they are using it deliberately to make a mockery out of it. otherwise its fine.
