Netflix’s actors are not being paid in accordance with the success of the content they’ve provided—which is not exactly surprising.
For anyone who doesn’t know, there’s a whole genre of television (as I understand it) affectionately called K-Dramas that come out of South Korea. I’ve only watched Vincenzo myself, but my partner has been addicted for most of this year so I’ve seen bits and pieces, and honestly…they’re really, really good junky tv. Junky in the sense that they brazenly use a lot of cliches and liberally run aground of logic for the sake of better spectacle or happier outcomes. But I feel like American TV sucks at that kind of thing these days, and it’s really entertaining.
And there are (probably) hundreds of these shows on Netflix, with a super passionate fanbase. South Korea is unbelievably prolific and the shows have really high production values, great performances, and a lot of heart. They deserve a lot of recognition (and compensation).
