What makes Korean drama so unique.

From the moment I started watching Korean drama K culture, I had a reason to stay glued on and become a loyal follower. The main reason being their ability to entertain and also give a full insight of their culture and way of life.

This is in reference to the cultural Korean drama that they air oftenly. Their modern themed dramas are also entertaining. Even if I am not any close to speaking a full sentence in Korean, my personal favourite word that I do not miss a chance of including in my sentences once in a while. 'AIGOO'

Even if the world is generally prefers to broadcast in English, all the Korean dramas i have watched have been in their language and that sets them apart from the rest.

Sungkyunkwan Scandal
Culture nowadays has been globalised but to see  nation that takes pride in theirs even until today is really refreshing. Most cultural practices have diverged and the world almost has the same practices. But their ability to capture the cultural set up and make it understandable to foreigners is really out of the ordinary.

Korean dramas that got me saying 'AIGOO'

Sungkyunkwan Scandal
Its amazing how much a girl can be transformed to look like a guy. The scandal in this movie is that a girl enrolled herself in a boys institution. It had me fooled the first time I saw that character. This drama highlights the struggle of women to be empowered in the community and it clearly sends a message that what a man can do a woman can do.


Jewel in the Palace 
This is one of the longest Korean dramas I have ever watched. I loved how 'Dang Jung Geum' always pushed through with the challenges she faced. Definately empowering for ladies.

This drama has Lee Min Ho as the lead actor and he never disappoints considering the reputation from City hunter. Its a cultural based doctor and warrior romance.
