THE GROWING APPEAL of K-dramas has also made them an important resource for learning about Korean culture and social life. In this respect, Confucianism is one component of Korean culture that is frequently emphasized in K-dramas, and it's something we will investigate in this post with a focus on the roots and fundamental ideas of the notion in Korea as well as how it appears in K-dramas.
The moral and philosophical doctrine dubbed Confucianism has its roots in China and dates back thousands of years. It highlights the value of societal stability, security, and deference to power. Korea adopted Confucianism during the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), and it has subsequently shaped both Korean society and culture. In this sense, it should be underlined that Confucianism truly represents an ethic of life that has profoundly affected everything from government initiatives to cultural standards and principles in Korean society.
Confucianism's basic tenets are filial piety (respect for one's parents, elders, and hierarchy), the value of education and self-development, loyalty, and social harmony. K-dramas frequently feature these principles, giving viewers a window into the Korean way of life. Confucianism places a high priority on filial piety. The idea is that a happy family and community can be achieved by demonstrating respect for one's parents, relatives, and the law. By attempting to better oneself through learning and self-cultivation, it is held that one may attain happiness while making an impact on society. Confucianism additionally stresses the importance of commitment and a harmonious society. A happy community and the upkeep of social order are said to be enhanced by loyalty to one's family, friends, and country.
