Unique Differences Between Historical Dramas In China, Japan And Korea

There are lots of fun traditional dramas that have come out of China, Japan, and Korea. Check out some of the subtle differences between them!

1. China

Most of them are pre-produced, so sometime entire scenes must be re-filmed even if the drama has entered the editing process.

Korean dramas tend not to do this as it raises the cost of production. It’s possible for Korean dramas to be finished editing mere hours before the episode airs.

For dramas set in the Qing Dynasty, actors must shave their heads for the role. 

Though costume makeup has developed, many actors still shave their heads to make the drama more realistic.
