I hope I answered your questions. These are my experiences with such, and as such some elements may be untrue for some or largely different.

Regarding the bold part, a lot of wuxia dramas are like that too. So as I said, it should've been easy for tokusatsu fans to branch out to wuxia dramas. Also, the same can be said for wuxia fans, they can transition to tokusatsu too because of the martial art and costume too. So it shouldn't be hard for tokusatsu fan and wuxia drama fans to overlap.

Why? Because I'm an example of a person who grew up watching wuxia dramas as a kids, and I transition to tokusatsu (because of the martial arts), and K-dramas (because I grew up watching drama in my wuxia drama as a kid). That made it easy for me to be a tokusatsu, K-drama, and wuxia drama fan.

Also because I'm Asian-American, that probably play a role into being able to watch any entertainment/media from East and Southeast Asia.

But the general fan who just wants to watch the superhero isn't going to watch this K/C-Drama just because this guy can also do it too. The charm of the man in the cool superhero suit is gone.

Uh actually, there are some superhero K-drama and C-drama out there, you just had to know where to find it. I know because they exist (well for K-drama).
