CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Korean drama or K-drama refers to televised dramas in Korean language, made
in South Korea, mostly in a miniseries format, with distinctive features that set it
apart from regular Western television series or soap operas. Korean dramas can
be set in contemporary times or in historical settings, the Korean word for the
latter being sageuk. Different genres apply to these two types, from romantic
comedies and action series to fusion science fiction dramas. South Korea started
to broadcast television series in the 1960s, today's mini deurama format of 12–24
episodes started in the 1990s, transforming traditional historical series to this
format, as well, creating the notion of "fusion sageuks". Korean dramas are
usually shot within a very tight schedule, often a few hours before actual
broadcast, screenplays are flexible and may change anytime during production,
depending on viewers' feedback, putting actors in a difficult position. Production
companies often have financial issues. Korean dramas are popular worldwide,
partially due to the spread of the Korean wave, with streaming services that offer
multiple language subtitles.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Korean dramas are full of entertainment, with dramatic plots, adorable and
handsome male actors, both main and supporting, and have always a pretty
leading lady. Korean drama refers to TV series, it was produced in the Korean
language for Korean audiences and it is also available with English subtitles for
other viewers. Many of these dramas become popular throughout Asia, especially
in the Philippines and have contributed to the general uniqueness of the Korean
wave. Most Korean drama series has also become popular throughout East Asian
countries such as Japan, China, and Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore,
Vietnam and Thailand. Korean dramas are typically involve conflicts such as
marital relationships, relationships between in- laws, and sometimes, a complicated
love triangle, there is also a lot of comedy that would make you laugh. All
Korean dramas are now released and available in DVD copies worldwide. Korean
DVDS are now released with English subtitles for the viewers around the world.
Korean TV dramas have recently become popular in the United States, among
Asian Americans and older viewers, many of them see these dramas as an
alternative in their violent and racy content of soap operas

The overwhelming success of South Korean dramas served as a major tourism
attraction in South Korea. Many fans from the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia,
Japan Indonesia and China became touristy and a lot of people group
themselves to see the drama studios and the filming location of big productions.
Korean drama has become very popular all over the world because of its soap
operas. Korean writers have been exercising their creative muscles on writing
and a lot of people noticed it. The guys behind the production are also doing
their homework. The result is that a best production that really seen by many
people and add Korean flavor to it, which surprisingly attached to the viewers
around the world. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_drama). It’s hard to pinpoint
exactly what’s making Korean dramas really attractive to the mass. But one
thing’s for sure even, Korean producers are sticking to the age-old recipe of
good writing coupled with great production and casting. Try to watch Korean
dramas, and you will really find it very interesting and enjoyable. Abacan says
Filipinos love Koreanovelas because they can relate to the stories.

CHAPTER II
RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDY
Evolution of Korean Dramas

The South Korean TV networks began airing dramas regularly in the early
1960’s. At that time most dramas were made to educate the public and support
the military government. Moreover, TV Korean dramas began to become popular
form of family entertainment. However, with the boom of Korean dramas, the
military government began Imposing tighter controls over the “poor taste” content
and required the networks to allocate more broadcasting time to news and
educational programmers. Later on, in the year 1980’s, the variety of Korean
dramas increased, the Korean tv networks began offering trending dramas,
focusing on the lives and love stories of the younger generation to attract young
viewers (Kalbi, 2016). Over the years Korean dramas have evolved immensely.
But we can allagree that it has been for the better. The reach and impact they
have today is so much greater than back in the day ( Manse, 2017 ).

Filipino Teenagers
In a study presented by Magtortor (2013) it revealed that, the rising popularity of
Korean Culture throughout the world made a great impact on the lives of the
teenagers in today’s generation with its teledramas, films, pop music etc. In her
paper it founded that, youths are the one who are most influenced by the
Korean wave and one of those are the Filipino youths. Those youths are
exposed to the different kinds and genres of music and Korean dramas. In
going to school, you can easily observed that Korean sensations are almost
everywhere. You can notice that students are listening and singing songs in
Korean language, talked about their favorite Korean dramas then admire the
actors and actresses in the movie and sometimes impersonate their looks.
Korean Drama reaches into Asia and Beyond
In a book entitled “K-drama: A new TV genre with Global Appeal24 (p.22-
24,2011) presented that, when one of the Korean dramas “Jewel in the palace”
had its stunning success. Some of the countries in Asia that was hitted are
Japan, China, Hongkong, Taiwan, Malaysia and Philippines. Through this
success, today, there is a high demand of Korean soap operas/dramas even in
countries where Korean television networks haven’t been broadcast. By the day,

encompassing everything from dramas and movies to food and clothes. The
urban youth today prefer everything in Korean.
Effects towards watching Korean Dramas
According to Casasola(2017), Korean dramas are undeniably addictive. The plot
can go from cliché but subtitle to deep and unpredictable which is probably the
main reasons to why we super love it. The way the elements and the story are
presented in a different ways, adding the fact that Korean actors/actresses are
certainly adorable for our lives. It simply is hard to resist charms of Korean
actors/actresses and the impressive storylines that either blows our mind and
makes us extremely kilig. Casasola also claimed that they are certain side
effects after watching Korean dramas as stated:
The viewers can’t stop themselves from watching another episode.
The viewer’s playlist becomes filled with kdrama OSTs.
Cry during heartbreaking and sad scenery.
Standards in a girlfriend/boyfriend becomes higher.
Find themselves uttering Korean expressions or words.
Suddenly takes interest in learning the Korean language.

Moreover, according to Salmeen (2017), she stated that: The biggest impact of Korean
dramas is the culture and how well-written the stories are, also the etiquettes and
mannerisms shown. Another impact would be that they consume lot of time because
they are highly addicting.
Korean Drama in the Philippines

Yap (2017), concluded that Beyond Kimchi, Kpop and koreannovelas, koreans are
becoming a ubiquitous presence in the Philippines. Since 2006, Koreans have been the
top visitors to the Philippines. Lee said, “
Since my assumption in July 2010, I have seen growing interest by Filipinos towards
Korean dramas and kpop.”
Temblor (2016), concluded that K-Drama is known for its fresh storylines and scenic
cinematography. It has captured good following among neighboring countries and
even among westerners. Its stories appeal to the masses, especially the youth and
middle-aged. The cast usually includes an "eye candy," giving viewers more reasons to
enjoy the show by employing good-looking actors whose looks alone are enough to
sustain attention. The "kilig" factor is always an important element.
Hicap (2009), stated that top Philippines TV stations GMA networks and ABS-CBN are
leading the way in importing Korean dramas in the country which have become hit in the
10
Junior High School
S.Y. 2019-2020
2000’s. Abacan says “Filipinos love koreannovelas because they can relate to the
stories .Most of the time; the Korean dramas are quite escapist and moving. ABS-CBN's
Raymundo said Koreanovelas offer Filipino audiences a change of pace from local
programming. "Koreanovelas give viewers a different style of storytelling from usual
Filipino soap operas, or "teleseryes." Since Korean dramas are aired only two hours a
week, compared to the Filipino daily 30-minute episodes, viewers can expect a faster
pace.
Studies conducted about Korean Dramas
According to Yuchen & Yi Ci (2015),the findings of their study concluded that Eighty
percent of students in their school have watched Korean dramas. And the two main
reasons why these students would like to watch Korean dramas are the content and the
cast. Sixty-two percent of students averagely spend one hour watching Korean dramas
in one day. Therefore, it can prove that Korean dramas have become a fad among most
students in their school.Some answered Korean dramas do not attract them. In their
survey, most students in National Douliou Vocational High School of Home Economics
＆Commerce have watched Korean dramas. There are two main effects of Korean
dramas on the students. One is the students’ academic performances and the things
they adapt in watching Korean dramas such as products.
11

Junior High School
S.Y. 2019-2020
On the other hand, after watching Korean dramas, most teenagers become Korean
maniacs and actively participate in many activities, but they aren’t willing to spend their
money buying
products related to Korean dramas. From their survey they concluded that Korean
dramas are exactly popular with the students in their school, but watching Korean
dramas doesn’t bring them negative effects, no matter on their schoolwork or in their
everyday lives.
According to Naidu (2015) based on the findings of his study, From the collected data
the researcher is able to establish that audience between the age groups of 21-30
formed the highest number of K-drama viewers. The female audience seemed to take
up to more number of K-drama viewing as compared to the other sexes. Of the 100
participants who took the survey, 81% of them had watched K-dramas, thereby proving
K-dramas reach and popularity among its audience. Many of the viewer’s was able to
pick up to various habits depicted on the shows in which by these changes their daily
lives and behaviors. In his research, the hypothesis f is the null hypothesis as there is
no relationship between the age and gender for K-drama viewership. There is no age
barrier for people to or not to watch Korean dramas.
12

Local related Studies
According to Delos Reyes et.al (2017), based on the study they conducted Korean
dramas have been touching the teenagers’ personality through physical, emotional and
mental state. The effects acquired by them, affect their view of reality. Most of them are
influenced by K-drama in fashion aspect; they see that the shows that they watch have
fashionable clothes, make-up and hair. They become influenced of how k-fashion is
shown in K-drama they watch. Some of the teens tend to sacrifice their food and time
just to watch K-Dramas they like. In some cases, lack of sleep due to desire to watch is
one of the factors. Their love of watching has affected their bodies. In mental side,
because of Korean dramas, instead of using Filipino slang they now start to use Korean
expressions and terms such as “aegyo” or acting cute randomly. Some of them think
that they are emotionally maturing because of K-Drama they watch. Since teenagers
have been watching K-dramas for long time, most of them are currently following a
certain show of their choice. Some of the respondents consider watching K-Dramas a
part of their routine. It is very normal for them to watch K-Drama’s. Not because all of
them were addicted but because watching K-dramas gratifies their need for
entertainment. As the teenagers find their sense of escape in K-dramas, they have been
dependent on it.

In a study, conducted by Alanzalon (2011) at University of the Philippines, it stated there
that attraction of the Filipino fans on the foreign media content was due to the presence
of familiar cultural offerings (language, visuals, cultural capital and story). These cultural
offerings, in turn, gratified the needs of the Filipino fans, especially in terms of their
needs for entertainment (satisfied by visual and narrative aspects) and
information(satisfied by language and cultural capital).
