Do You Enjoy Watching Dramas?

The document reports the results of a survey on preferences for drama films and television shows. It found that most respondents enjoy watching dramas and find appealing characterizations that are major or central characters with complex personalities that change over time. Respondents also preferred stories that focus more on many characters rather than one, with plots that are mysterious and set in big cities/towns. They thought more tension and suspense helps dramas more, and that protagonists should be male between 16-20 years old. Most also felt diegetic sounds should be more dominant than non-diegetic sounds.
