I realized that Korean dramas just don't fulfill me anymore. I am not entertained, I do not laugh or smile at all the jokes and quirky moments, I don't feel sad, I am unable to emphasize with the protagonists, I experience zero pathos from their painful life experiences, I just feel nothing.
Because I am neither Korean, nor have a Korean girlfriend -- I choose the next best thing. I used to live vicariously through Korean dramas, I've observed Korean girls and the Korean society as a whole and learned a whole lot about them and their living and behavioral patterns.
A lot of stuff could trigger self-insert for me before. Either a pretty, handsome, flower boy MC or someone else. I used to self-insert either as the beta or the alpha, depending on my current mood. All I needed to do was imagine myself in place of let's say Yoo Ah In and bam, I became Yoo Ah In.
It's worth mentioning that Korean dramas did serve another purpose to me, too. The feelings of betrayal and emotional hurt were my fapping fuel. For example, it felt somewhat arousing and very primal when a female consciously chooses a better, stronger, richer alpha male and denies the beta male or just completely ignores him. It made me self-insert as the beta less and less.
But none of this works for me anymore, I guess the novelty factor wore off. And I have to move onto something else now.
