What is a drama?

For those of you who have never heard of a drama or have heard the term but don't know what it is, we will explain everything to you.

Dramas are like a TV series or soap opera that are performed by real actors and actresses and are shown weekly in Japan.

There are all kinds of dramas, but they usually have structured stories that have a beginning, middle, and end. Some dramas are longer, with over 100 episodes, while there are shorter dramas (especially in this age of streaming).

And there are dramas for all tastes, that is, it doesn't just follow one line, there are dramas of the dramatic genre, romances, horror, period and even the so-called taiga dramas, which are the dramas with the biggest budgets.

Japan is an extremely popular country when it comes to creating content. Anime is the country's most likely profitable product, having a huge popularity, but dramas have gained a lot of space and won fans all over the world, which could mean that in the future it will be as famous as anime.
