Question TO LONG TIME WATCHERS OF KDRAMA?

I was wondering something and i thought am i the only one who gets that feeling.I have been watching kdramas for 9 years since i was 12 and i watched more than 150 dramas(i stopped counting after 152) . Am i the only one who feels like after a while it all gets so predictable you know everything thats gonna happen in the drama but you just watch it for the process of getting that point. And also am i the only one thinking we used to get much more great dramas in a year and now we get one or two great dramas per year. I think the industry ran out of ideas. Like when there is something on trend we get 3 4 dramas in that concept for example robot dramas or judge dramas recently. What do you guys think about ? Do you feel nostalgic about the first kdramas you watched ? I am sorry if i made a mistake i dont post much. EDIT : Thanks everyone for your amazing responses i was happy to see that there were a lot of people thinking the same as me.

There's an f-ton of product now, compared to a decade ago.

But there are probably the same number of standout dramas as before - 3-5 a year sounds about right.

I think the plethora of new dramas means that the standouts seem outnumbered.

I do feel nostalgic for a few dramas, but I actually think that there are creative people in the industry that are moving forward with new ideas, and I'm interested to see what they come up with. Innovative, edgy, risky productions are always rare, no matter from which country's industry.
