I've always been fond of time travel stories, about people travelling into the past or into the present. There was one year (2012) in which there were almost always a drama airing with time travel:
Faith,
Rooftop Prince,
Queen In Hyun's Man,
Time Slip Dr. Jin and
Operation Proposal.5 dramas with this topic aired in the span of a year.
Last year dramas with vampires started one after the other:
Blood,
Orange Marmalade and
Scholar Who Walks the Night. Also, two dramas started airing at the same month with characters who have multiple personalities:
Kill Me, Heal Me and
Hyde, Jekyll, Me.
Yesterday I created a list of remakes I knew about and found out that in 2012 there were 4 dramas that were remakes of Japanese dramas. Every now and then there is one, but 4 seems to be too many.
Have you ever encountered with a similar situation while watching dramas?
What is your opinion about this? Are they coincidencies or do TV channels really focus in the same topic as their peers?
