Aw, I wasn’t thinking of you that way, I didn’t even know who you meant until you mentioned Televisa. And it’s totally fair to form an idea of something based on experience. From all accounts, Mexican viewers are stunned at Juliantina. For us Americans, the treatment is already so unusual, but for people who know the network, it’s mindblowing.
I do also get the snobby part, I had that attitude with my own local media (Pakistani) and then I saw some dramas that were actually really freaking good. And I realized how much of that snobbery, in my own case, was influenced by automatically thinking foreign, especially English-language media, was superior. And that all the little traits of a genre were part of it and not something to be tolerated. For AAM, at the beginning I’d been like, does this music really need to be playing, by the end, I was in love with that OST, lol.
But, it’s a good thing we were open to realizing we wrong to paint everything with the same brush, otherwise we’d never have given quality media a chance and really missed out. And who knows, you may have more on the way. 🙂
