@Mulder99 Among Asian dramas, Korean dramas are now the golden standard due to their popularity with international audiences. Korean dramas are usually 16 episodes in length, and just the right length to deliver a compact story and character growth. I agree with Lincoln Lam that TVB should produce shorter dramas less than 20 episodes in length. The shorter format allows for a tighter story with less filler lines, less unnecessary minor characters, and less redundancy scenes such as family dinners or office gossip in every episode. Cut away the filler, and expand on what makes each series unique. This way, the drama can leave a deeper impression. Rather than write dramas with redundant filler content to fill an episode quota to fill HK broadcasting slots, the dramas should only be as long as they need to tell an unique story.
