Perfect for fans of shows like Squid Game and Crash Landing on You, K-Drama School offers an immersive, at times hilarious, and riveting history of Korean television in this first-of-its-kind guide, analysing everything from how a war-torn country created a multi-billion dollar industry to the shows´ queer feminist visibility and more.
From the Emmy Award-winning Squid Game to streaming sensations like The Glory and Crash Landing on You, Korean television has emerged onto the global pop culture scene as compelling television-but what exactly makes these shows so irresistibly bingeable? And what can we learn about our societies and ourselves from watching them?
From stand-up comedian and media studies PhD Grace Jung comes a rollicking deep dive into the cultural significance of Korean television. K-Drama School analyzes everything from common tropes like amnesia and slapping to conspicuous product placements of Subway sandwiches and coffee; to representations of disability, race and gender; to what Korea´s war-torn history says about South Korea´s media output and the stories being told on screen.
With chapters organized by "lessons," each one inquiring into a different theme of Korean television, K-Drama School offers a groundbreaking exploration into this singular form of entertainment, from an author who writes with humor and heart about shows that spur tears and laughter, keeping us glued to the TV while making fans of us all.
Shows discussed include: Squid Game, SKY Castle, Crash Course in Romance, Extraordinary Attorney Woo, My Mister, Something in the Rain, One Spring Night, DP, Guardian: The Lonely and Great God, Autumn in My Heart, Winter Sonata, Our Blues, and more.
