LOVING KOREAN DRAMAS!
LOVING KOREAN DRAMAS (KDs)
by DJO ‘67 with contributions from Regina Boncan Francisco ’70
How I Started
For several years now my younger sister (who had retired earlier than I did) was telling me to start watching the Korean dramas (KDs). I simply informed her: “Nope, I’ve heard of those KDs and I know that once you start it, you will get hooked on it!” At that point I was still working and had no time for all these dramas.
Fast forward to 2020…..
Time to retire! So I retired on the last working day of Feb 2020 which was a Friday. Lo and behold that Monday, Covid-19 happened and the lockdown was in place! My retirement plans (travel, volunteer work) all just flew out the window due to the pandemic and the lockdown.
Well, isolation led me to explore KDs!
KD #1: CLOY
Upon recommendation, I started with the blockbuster of 2020…Crash Landing On You (CLOY). Oh wow! What a beautiful, romantic and tearful storyline – political issues between North and South Korea, different cultures between the 2 countries, a dashing and handsome Captain from North Korea running into a beautiful, successful South Korean businesswoman and chaebol heiress who while paragliding in Seoul is swept up in a sudden storm, landing in the forbidden DMZ of North Korea, theme of forbidden love!
Everyone was talking about the tear jerker, CLOY!!
“You’ve got to watch CLOY!!”
The world fell in love with CLOY!! I fell in love with CLOY!!
The KD Addiction – #2 to #300+:
So, I got hooked!! Since I had the time now to watch these KDs (sometimes till the wee hours of the morning), it was one KD after another. The addiction has started. I had to organize how I watched it. I definitely don’t watch it when it first comes out since I don’t want to wait weekly for it, takes too long to discover what happens next. What I decided to do is wait for the series to finish, then I binge-watch (a standard drama series has 16 episodes, some less, some more) and it will take me 1-3 days to complete a series depending on the number of episodes. When I like a certain main actor (or should I say “fall in love” and I’ve fallen in love with so many now), I search for all his series and binge-watch him so I can familiarize myself with him: know his K name, his stats, everything about him.
Okay, I know, I know, that’s too much time on my hands now! So between March 2020 to the present Jan 2022, I have watched a little over 300 series from Netflix, Rakuten Viki, and YouTube. I’m so addicted to it now that maybe I need to go to a KD Anonymous group meeting!!! KDs have now been granted certain hours of my daily routine (darn these other duties!) BUT after my morning prayer time of course. I just don’t watch Romantic Comedies called ROM COMS. I also watch doctor series, thrillers, detective stories, and I love the historical times – the Joseon (pronounced Choson) Era!
The Culture of Love:
Most Korean Dramas have the element of a love story be it during the Joseon Era or the present time. Though these KDs are factual in their culture, close family knit ties, and are portrayed through these dramas (and I verified these with my former American-Korean co-worker and he concurred), I find the KDs very wholesome, sweet romance, learning the Korean culture such as respecting the elderly, and very clean storylines. (I’m sure there are raunchy ones too which I avoid). These storylines give you a “feel-good” sentiment which is why it is easy to get addicted to these KDs. Actors and actresses are well chosen, shooting locations, cinematography, film editing and musical themes/backgrounds are superb and well done. This is also why we all fall in love with the dramas and continue to watch them one after the other. We may even say that we could live in a “fantasy world” through these dramas even for a slight moment.
The Love Songs:
Oh, the Love Songs! They have the most romantic lyrics, sweetest melodies and the very best singers who emulate so much the meaning of the romantic theme of the drama. Most Korean Dramas have several love stories within a storyline. It be between the lead man and lead woman, between the best friend of the lead man and the cousin of the lead woman, and so forth. The elderly too are often shown to have a love story!
Common Elements/Scenes in a Storyline:
Yes, it’s true and I can attest that most of these dramas have the same elements:
– dwelling in deep romanticism and fantasies, with the assumption of an everlasting love
– strong portrays of attractive male characters
– media aesthetics and romantic/love music to immerse viewers in the emotional experience.
There are also common scenes in KDs:
– back hugs
– hands patting the back to console an aggrieved or hurt person
– piggyback rides especially when they have had too much to drink and hangover stew
– going crazy and throwing tantrums
– second lead who also loves female lead but never confesses to her
– love triangle
– wrist grabbing
– female lead tripping on something and the male lead catching her
– male lead will be very intelligent in his career usually will be a chaebol (wealthy family clans), etc.
The Culture of Food and Drinking Soju:
Part of the Korean culture is the love for good food and sharing a drink.
In all KDs, eating Korean food is always featured and enjoyed by its characters. Most common shown are Spicy/Fried Chicken, Kimchi (fermented cabbage), Jjajangmyeon (thick noodles in a dark sauce), Tteokbokki (rice/fish cakes in chili paste sauce), Spicy Instant Noodles (ramen), Bibimbap (salad of rice, veggies, beef and egg), Gimbap (Korean sushi), Samgyeopsal (pork strips sizzling on a grill), Japchae (glass noodles) and the numerous appetizers of cut vegetables such as radish, bean sprouts, eggplants, cabbage, onion leeks, tofu and at times dried fish.
The art of drinking Soju and Korean Beer. Most KDs would always feature the Korean culture of enjoying a drink of hard liquor. It is culturally accepted as a way of bonding, forging and cementing relationships both personal and business. Soju is made from grains of rice, wheat and barley. It is the most famous and enjoyed alcohol drink in Korea. Many as shown in the storylines, combine Soju with a local beer which is a Korean drinking game.
Keeping Track:
There are several KDs that I have re-watched over (CLOY being one of them – I think I’ve watched this about 17 times now); and every time I re-watch a drama, I find something new that I had missed the first time around.
To further inform you of my KD addiction, I am currently updating a grid (part of this follows) of what I have already watched according to different categories:
Title of Series, Year it Was Shown, Main Stars/Roles, What Social Media it was Watched From (Netflix, Rakuten Viki, YouTube, etc…) and Comments.
(Note: There are still some KDs that I’ve heard that have good reviews, but they’re shown on other media channels which I don’t have).
Do all these sound familiar? Sure! Even though we know what their tactic scene will be, but we don’t care, we still watch them continuously. I know these KDs have been around for such a long time (especially in the Philippines, I was informed), but just blew up within the last couple of years. They are just producing these projects as fast as anything that I informed my co-KD conspirators that even to my dying day, we will never run out of them to watch!!!
Gamsahamnida! (Thank you!)
