More importantly, since high school, American streaming services and Youtube have pretty much fully comprised my options, and it’s often difficult to get a hold of Asian films and TV due to copyright restrictions. I ended up not having much patience for the movie and exiting out of it halfway through, but the next recommendation drew my attention — A Netflix Original Korean drama. I didn’t know what was more bizarre: me getting recommended Korean television by the algorithm, or American streaming services distributing K-dramas. Therefore, I’d imagine it’s nearly impossible for any non-Asian Americans to come across Asian television by accident. I wonder how exactly the company got the memo that bringing Asian television to the American market would be a hugely profitable decision.
