The real secret weapon of K-dramas was 
the way they were made. Unlike in the US, where most episodes are written and shot before they air, many Korean dramas were going out on TV while they were still being filmed. 
Episode 1 and 2 would be on air while episodes 5 and 6 were shooting, and the finale was still being rewritten. 
That meant audience reaction could actually change the show. 
It wasn't real time in the social media sense, but if ratings dipped, everybody knew by the next morning. 
If viewers fell in love with a side character, that character's role could suddenly expand. 
If a subplot tanked, it might quietly disappear. 
The whole system was a brutal feedback loop where writers and crews worked insane hours, but the story kept bending itself towards whatever made audiences feel the most. Terrible for sleep, great for engagement.
