INTRODUCTION

Background of the study

Korean Dramas are televised dramas made in South Korea. They

are usually made in a miniseries format (16-24 episode) and the

subject can be contemporary (comedy, romance, action, science,

fiction, medical) or historical (most of them depicting Joseon

Dynasty and its kings, military leader and battles). Korean

Dramas are popularbecause of the story focused on family,

beautiful background music, and/or beautiful Hanbok in the

historical dramas.

Korean primetime television is fundamentally different from

American television in that the default format is not a multi-

season series. Instead, its one season, contained arc- what

American viewers would consider an extended miniseries, or event

series. Due to the heightened situations and emphasis on romance

that characterizes many of these dramas, Korean Dramas have in

the past been written off by American journalists as “soap

operas”. However, this ignores both the acting quality and the

scope and depth of genres produced, procedurals, fantasy, period

dramas, war epics, high school comedy, and horror, to name just

some of the popular genres. Koreans have influenced many

different places around the world known as K-pop (Korean Pop).
