But Korean dramas are the happy medium: they are TV miniseries, of length varying from 8 hour-plus episodes on the short end to 50+ episodes on the long end, so they have space for plots and subplots and ensemble casts on one hand, and the mandate to develop characters and resolve their plots on the other.
This is exactly the reason that kdramas are my favorite right now! I can get properly invested without feeling the depressing awareness that the series will go on a million years with no proper resolution and eventually jump off a cliff.
(I'm curious what your SKKS headcanon is! I actually was really pleased with the epilogue - it was a way more progressive ending, especially for the ladies, than I was expecting.)
