Emotions: Longer, Positive Endings
Most dramas & media in general usually have the 3rd act drama, where there's drama in the last 2-4 episodes, & once it's all resolved, the happy ending is only like 5-10 minutes.
(GENERALLY) KDrama Writers writing the most tragic ending vs CDrama Writers writing the most upbeat ending.
These are the East Asian Dramas that deliver that positive warmth for a much longer runtime.
