[Drama Chat] Dramaland’s love affair with webtoon diversifications
by missvictrix
Solomon wasn’t improper when he stated that there’s nothing new beneath the solar. Lately, we’ve seen loads of dramas born from webtoon supply materials. Whereas it was once a smattering of exhibits, now it’s so widespread that an unique drama is definitely the outlier.
As with most issues, with this comes the nice and the dangerous. As an example, I really like that it offers artists and creatives (who do superb work) an opportunity to go to the financial institution in a severe approach with their characters and tales. However on the flip facet, having supply materials — whether or not comparatively unknown or vastly in style — will at all times add a layer of complexity. Typically, it makes us query the thought of an adaptation totally: is it taking a written/drawn piece of artwork and translating it precisely for the small display? Or is it about drawing inspiration from a pre-existing storyline and characters and utilizing that as a baseline for transforming and reimagining? Whereas we would by no means be capable to reply that query, it is likely to be value a drama chat 😉
What do you concentrate on webtoons as a supply for Ok-dramas? What do you see as a number of the advantages or weaknesses of this as a artistic course of, or as a fan?
