Theres been like a craze over Korea and Japan, and now China these couple pf years. With it the food has gotten popular as well. The thing with Korean food is, there is LITERALLY no other flavour profile other than just pure gochujang or sugar. Every time I go out or make a Korean recipe I can ONLY taste gochujang or gochugaru. Other than that it's just really REALLY sweet, if you look beneath the spice and gochugaru its just sweet or plain, you can barely taste anything else. Talking about their bone broths, yes they have a taste of slight umami but a bone broth is not strictly Korean at all, and for bone broth wise it's plain. The ONLY Korean dish I've had that wasn't flavourless as hell was made by a Chinese mum, there is just not enough seasoning bro, gochugaru does not provide enough for it to be the only seasoning. I don't know if there's some mysterious Korean cuisine I haven't tried of but it is really lacking compared to it's Asian counterparts.

Overall like what you like, dislike what you don't like. I know not everything is made with gochujang, but the things that aren't are just too underwhelming for me and I personally would pick another cuisines style over that almost any day. Also Korean food made in Korea is obviously gonna taste better so I'm just talking about the westernized version.

Edit: if ur gonna say 'u dunno how to cook' I haven't cooked any just looket at recipes, i've only eaten at restaurants (not fast food istg bro) even the expesnive restaurants were not bang for buck

Edit 2: Tbh I think I would of liked it a LOT more if it wasn't as overhyped
