Mo Yan, the first Chinese author to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, is also one of them.

"I saw Dae Jang Geum [2003 South Korean TV series] a few years back. I haven't seen any recently, but I've heard of the what-not-professor [the male protagonist of "My Love from the Stars,"] Mo said.

The author was not as crazed over "My Love" as the drama's millions of Chinese fans, but he did call for the Chinese film industry to learn from the drama's success.

"Don't be too overwhelmed with just one or two Korean dramas. I think enjoying art is equivalent to dining: we all need to change flavors from time to time. If the public likes it, it means we lack products of the same sort," Mo said. "I think our producers and writers can learn useful lessons from their success."
