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.
