Korean Dramas and the Global Reach of Korean Popular Culture

« back to classes page
ClassGraphic South Korea is just slightly larger in size than the state of Indiana, yet its popular culture has gone global. Have you ever wondered why this has happened? Mentally escape with us on a journey to North Korea, South Korea, and Switzerland to discover one of K-drama's hottest television series Crash Landing on You. Each week, prior to the study group session, we will watch 2-3 episodes of the 16 total available episodes on Netflix. We will discuss the ongoing tensions between North and South Korea, their people and cultures, education, social dynamics, food, sports, and how Switzerland comes into play. Join this group if you want to learn about the lighter, social side of international affairs as well as the darker, more political side. We will work in teams of two participants for seven weeks to develop weekly discussions of the assigned episodes that are all rooted in the great joys of travel and escapism.
