As soon as it became clear that Korean storytelling translated globally instead of buying finished shows, Netflix started commissioning Korean originals
with budgets in the 20 to $30 million range. Meaning a single Netflix series
could cost 10 times more than a typical 16 episode broadcast drama.
For Korean producers and creators used to operating on razor thin margins, this felt transformative.
So on the surface, the drama industry appeared to be making a comeback. Bigger budgets, more international attention.
But for Korean producers, this new scale created a different kind of trap.
Since they never get to share the upside and just get a fixed fee, the only way for Korean producers to earn more money was to take on bigger projects with bigger budgets
so that their 10 to 15% producer fee would be larger in absolute terms.
But here's the thing. Once you're betting 25 to30 million on a single project, you cannot afford to take creative risks
because if you fail, you might not get grin lit for another highbudget project
from Netflix anytime soon. The Netflix trap means more money leads to less experimentation.
More sequels, more adaptations, more predictable formulas.
Original storytelling becomes the riskiest investment you can make, which is exactly the opposite of what an industry supposedly in his golden age should be
