I still get annoyed when drama productions pick a Korean title and then choose an English one that isn’t either a direct translation or at least an approximation in meaning.

Week five of tvN Mon-Tues drama Doom at Your Service has not been kind to the series, recording a continued drop in ratings (episode 10 got 2.473%) despite delivering the type of fan service that would usually be enough for viewers.

I wonder if short dramas will become more common place, what with shorter attention spans and the fast pace of entertainment consumption. KBS aired the period drama Youth of May very timely premiering in May for a 12-episode run which wrapped today.
