Korean Drama

has been popular in Burma(Myanmar) since a while ago. Actually, it is not only in Burma, it has been well noticed throughout Asia. It is a new Korean wave. Their success is because of the newer generation Korean directors and script writers being trained in western countries. These newer generations of the film makers went back to Korea and they successfully implemented their own culture and traditional values into their knowledge of film making.
I wish something like that could happen in Burmese(Myanmar) film industry. I hope one day to see the artistic idea of originality and quality materials in Burmese films. It is a long way to reach to the standard of our own since Burmese film industry just keep copying and remaking any successful films that they can reach. Copying is always a good start to learn, but nothing original in the life long portfolio of the artist resume??? One should seriously consider on their status (as an artist). The knowledgeable older generations of the artists like Sayar Gyi U Thuka, the talented camera men like Sayar Chit Min Lu, or the genius script writers like U Win Oo, has been gone and Burmese film industry has been crowded with little stars of less artistic interests. Most of today stars' concerns are to be rich and famous, no matter what it takes to reach to that status. Reputation, integrity, knowledge, or talent is very hard to find among the mix crowd. I don't mean to bring down all the stars .... I am sure there would be a few hidden talented quality stars among the crowd. I hope one day these talented stars would be able to shine brighter than ever for the sake of art and creativity.
