Japanese dramas are mostly aired on a seasonly basis, and are usually slated to last around 10 episodes or so, with a few exceptions, and often, each episode would last around 45 minutes.
The length of Japanese dramas sparks debate amongst people; some who argue that the length is too short, and thus leave little space for character development, some who rejects that opinion, as they find the duration reasonable and that the story is well-relayed within that amount of time without unneccessary additions.
The duration leaves the Japanese to express the dramas in their own creative way, finding the best ways to reach out to the audience despite the time limit.
'Japanese drama' can be shortened to jdrama, j-drama, or jdorama. The dramas tend to focus on a wide range of genres, from life to thriller to comedy to utterly random, prodding open minds of viewers with new concepts, choosing not to focus only on romance dramas, although they do have a few exceptional ones.

Get the Drama Queen mug.A slut’s vagina. A pussy that stays open and active. The vagina of a girl or woman who has sex with anyone (or anything) with no regard of consequence. Drama drapes cause static among friends and lovers. A woman that doesn’t close her drama drapes will break up relationships and marriages, cause fights among friends and family, and spread diseases, while giving zero fucks about those affected by her actions. Nothing good happens when her drama drapes are open. Drama drapes cause nothing but problems.
Person 1 “Biff and Gertrude broke up after Biff found out that he had Syphilis.”
Person 2 “Yeah that bitch Gertrude needs to close her fucking drama drapes.”
Person 2 “Yeah that bitch Gertrude needs to close her fucking drama drapes.”

Get the Drama Drapes mug.The misuse of buddhist teachings to excuse, explain away, or deflect action against misbehavior or abuse perpetrated by a buddhist leader, teacher or organisation. Throws a shroud of confusion over the issue and makes people doubt their own perception. It's a form of gaslighting.
It has been used systematically to prevent reform and explain away abuse in various Buddhist communities. The lack of a commonly known word to call out such tactics is making fighting such tactics hard.
Examples of dharmasplaining:
"The obstacle here is fears and assumption about experience. Wanting to choose your experience. This is really just a form of aggression."
"These are just views and all views are wrong. You need to study the dharma more and realize that this is only your perception"
"These are just projections of your own neuroses onto the teacher. He is really doing this for your sake. You will understand in time."
Usually though a lot more words are used and the fact that it is dharmasplaining in action is less clear.

"He is just dharmasplaining. Trust your own judgment not his attempts to confuse you. If someone does something abhorrent it is abhorrent no matter who they are."
"Dharmasplaining became the way to deflect from institutional and leadership problems."
