(Seoul) “Korean Wave” hits a snag recently as 5 South Korean dramas with historic themes have been banned on the grounds that China suspects them to be degrading. Among the dramas banned are Jumong and Bae Yoon Jun´s The Legend that will be broadcasted in South Korea starting tomorrow, September 11, 2007. That I think would be an inauspicious manner to start off Bae Yoon Jun´s comeback to TV drama after a hiatus of close to 4 years. After all, China is a huge market and this would be a big loss to the Korean drama producers! Should this happen, then Yoonsama will have to depend on the Japanese and other Asian markets.

Recent news report regarding the rising costs of making Korean dramas will price its way out of their traditional markets as Korean dramas are now more expensive than American dramas in Japan.
