K-drama from the perspective of popular culture
Keywords:
K-drama, Korea, Korean waves, popular cultureAbstract
Korean dramas (K-drama) are one of the essential resources of Korean culture in general, and Korean popular culture in particular. By the systematic method, comparative method, and analytical-synthetic method, the article shows that the content characteristics of popular Korean dramas are the influential factors, a significant impact, contributing to the success of the Korean wave in Asia, America, and Africa. The cultural value system integrated in Korean dramas has not only helped improve Korea’s image in the international arena but also promoted economic cooperation between Korea and other countries on the basis of trust becoming more and more solid, but also helping countries affected by the Korean cultural wave to have more bases to learn, reshape national identity, and successfully build economic development models based on popular culture products, especially dramas, as Korea has successfully done.
