I've always noticed that a lot of Japanese and other Asian serial dramas and low-budget feature films are often shot in what LOOKS like 60i (could be wrong). Just wondered why it's stayed this way even as production values have gone up in them since I was a kid. It's not like they wouldn't be able to get their hands on a camera nowadays with the capability of shooting 24p, so it must be an aesthetic decision. Do they just not have the bias against the "cheapness" of non-24p that westerners often do? Is the "low budgetness" the intended effect?

And I do realize that a lot of American shows are still also shot this way, such as Days of Our Lives
