It's not as fun as the Olympics or the World Cup, and it's mostly competition among the Big Three (China, Korea, Japan). But it can be as exciting, unpredictable, and tense as anything, and there's a reason some of the events pulled in 25+% in the ratings, like Park Tae-Hwan's impressive run in swimming or the women's archery finals opposite the Chinese team, when they were running neck-and-neck, fell behind once, came back to tie twice, then all three hit bull's eye to win the gold.
Yes, I enjoyed it too. :) Nerves of steel IRL can be as dramatic as any drama.
