K-dramas are actually very popular.Indian and Pakistani dramas are mostly popular in this subcontinent only.Have never watched K-dramas but I hear about people around me watching them.Few days ago, there was an article about the popularity of Queen of Tears in our local newspaper.Maybe quality-wise they are the best right now?ITV is in its worst phase and PTV also just has few dramas on-air at a time which are good.
I have the same problem. I cannot enjoy pak dramas while I am into kdramas. It's like two entirely different world. Kdramas are well made and even the low budget kdramas look more grand than big budget pak dramas. Also kdramas are very progressive and have non toxic male leads.
I watch pak dramas when I want to see something similar to my culture and society. Itv is not an option and Indian webseries are way too dark for my taste.

. I watched it with my entire family and everyone loved it.
