K-DRAMA SCHOOL - GRACE JUNG KARTONIERT (TB)

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.
