Dear DramaBox: Please Credit Your Actors (A Fangirl’s Plea!)
Dear Dramabox,
Please credit your actors with each minidrama. I want to know the people who are consuming my days and plaguing my nights. I see their faces more than I see my family members, so, it is understandable that my parasocial kinship requires more breeding ground.
Don't be shy, you're working so hard to give us the perfect aesthetics and imperfect characters, why hide those who make it all worth my time? I want to know the people who shot those alluring scenes, those who lent nostalgic kdrama osts to reel me in, those who wrote the drama unfolding before my eyes and those who are making me pace around the room at 2 A.M. with restlessness over injustices done to them.
I reckon, there should be a behind the scenes segment for each drama. It will help enrich the fandom and you'll be the first mini drama app (probably) to do so. There's so much free content you're wasting away, don't you think? If two actors have worked together in more than one drama together, would it not be fun to unravel their acquaintanceship?
Rather than writing the english names of the fictional characters, you'd earn more loyalty if you wrote the name of the lead actors involved. Also, it would help fans find their faves with much ease. For example, there's this male lead I loved in Fated Flames and Prims of Truth but I cannot find any more of his dramas just by staring at the drama posters, right? It was lucky of me to find him again in Married in Disguise — but it only left me wanting to see more of him!
Rather than leaving it up to fate, let's take it in our hands, shall we? His name is Zeng Hui and he's a sight for the sore eyes. Don't hide it Dramabox, let us know him more. I understand that it only took me a pintrest search to find him but still, it'd be nicer if his name was where the fake names are, trust me.
I genuinely want you to grow your app in a way people take it as an experience. If I'm invested for a short drama for three hours, you can bet I would take one more hour to read through the names of its Director, Producer, Actors, Cinematographer, Editor, etc.
Other than that, give yourself a pat on the back. You're doing well ✨
