Asian Dramas: Product Placement

Asian Dramas: Product Placement


In all Asian dramas, there is going to be product placement. Haven’t seen any or just remotely never notice? Product placement is something I always look forward to while watching an Asian drama. I know most drama lovers probably could care less when watching their favorite drama. I constantly look for product placement whether it’s the vacuum, fridge, jewelry, hair accessories, plush toys,  drinks, chips, or one of my personal favorite Subways. 


What is Product Placement? 

Product placement is the product you see being used or worn by the actors or actresses. The company of the product placement sponsors the drama and in exchange, the product gets a feature in the drama. 

Some product placement is visible and some aren’t so much. Then there are those that are just being thrown in our faces. This is more common among the Chinese TV dramas. However, I understand why viewers are annoyed by product placement. It’s quite unnecessary and ridiculous. The writers for our beloved TV dramas have to create a scene for the product placement.
