Korean movies have been inspiring not only the Nepalese teenagers but also the film industry. This article is sadly very accurate about the Nepal film industry. Blockbuster movies like " Sano sansar", "Mero auta saathi chha" etcetera are the movies that are highly influenced from Korean dramas like "My sassy girl" and " A millionaire's first love" . These movies were rated as immensely watched Nepal movies during the following decade. Hollywood and Bollywood were once a sensation but now a history. so, why Korean movies? simply, it's because Korean movies are based on ordinary subject matter and feature strong plots. Youths of this generation get easily attracted to the subject matter put forth by Korean movies. while the impression of getting more attraction are similarly shared by most of the directors. However, film festivals and other cultural influence could be imposing fact reasoning increasing Korean movie influence in Nepal.
In Nepal people not only watch Korean movies but also try to imitate them in every possible way. They talk, walk, eat, dress up and even take pictures the way Korean stars do in Korean movies. It is just very annoying! It's not that I have anything against Koreans, in fact I am very fond of them. The ones I have a problem with are Nepalese people who try to act like they are Koreans. Why can't they just be originals? I am a Nepali and I am proud to be one. I can't understand why Nepalese people want a Korean twist in everything they do. I have watched the movies mentioned above and they are the exact copies of the Korean movies so I wouldn't exactly agree to the statement that the film industry of Nepal is "inspired". NO THEY AREN'T. Copying the entire movie (including the dialogues) is not getting inspired. I really wish Nepalese people would get over trying t copy Koreans and instead put all that effort to improvise the situation of Nepal, in any way possible!

I totally agree with you. It really is annoying to see people act like koreans. And trust me it's not only Nepal, it happens in my hometown too. They try to speak in Korean. It's just embarrassing to even look at them. By the way, I love your last sentence.
