      I grew up with 80's and 90's wuxia TV dramas from Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan; this has been a thing. Multiple adaptations of Jin Yong and Gu Long's works and even Journey to the West have always been written to fit 48-52 eps format.https://twitter.com/fozmeadows/status/1378232649110614018 …

      Whereas very many c-dramas - or at least modern c-dramas; I cannot speak to their history - are intended to be long but finite narratives. The entire point is to tell a single, detailed story across multiple instalments, not to keep adding more seasons for as long as you can.

      this is so fascinating to know! in the west, the tv default for ages was week-to-week, episodic sitcom-style stuff, and the logic had seemed to be, 'well, in the pre-digital era, you needed to make it so that new and casual viewers could just dip in and out' -

      - so I'd been wondering if the long-form, finite narratives were a new development for c-dramas, too, just one that was way more utilised across Asia than in the west. but it's really interesting to know that it predated the digital shift that sparked the content changes here!

          In Japan AFAIK it was even older. From 50s-60s there's always been this morning drama (or asa dorama) aimed for housewives. They often feature an aspirational heroine in various careers, huge titles including Oshin and Ama Chan. They're also written to fit 48-52 week format.

          Ama Chan was a somewhat an exception, it was so popular it continued for 3 seasons IIRC (hence, 3 years), but normally an individual asadora title lasts a year with different heroine and premise in the next.
