Why Are Korean Movies Than Filipino Teleserye?
I wonder how many Korean movies were translated to our national language had influenced large number of people. Because of its powerful impact to Filipino audiences, I have seen people who tend to across dress of Korean trends, behave like one and adapt their lifestyle. At some point being a Kdrama fan will always have their own style of expressing one's admiration over Kdramas, it may be extreme or not. There is only one question in my mind right now. What is really the reason why fans value more Korean dramas than Filipino Teleserye? One kdrama fanatic is Carol Asis, a B.S.Ed. student who’s a certified kdrama fanatic.

However, sometimes she noticed herself becoming a Korean in nature – behavior, language and in lifestyle. Instead of “pagmamano”, a Filipino way to respect elders, she tends to bow and greet her parents “Anneoyong Haseoyo”. She deeply grieves when she found out that her “oppa” has a girlfriend, married or even in break-ups. Carol also has a huge Korean dream — to live in Korea, wear hanbok dress (Koreans’ traditional dress) and be marriedto her oppa.
Another self-confessed admirer of Korean dramas is Cezel Estoperez, a 21 year old entrepreneur graduate. According to her, it is the social media platforms influenced her to be a Kdrama fanatic. Boys over Flowers and Full House are the Korean dramas that made her enter the kdrama world.
She was amazed by how Korean people filmed the story, the script as well, as how they directed the drama caught her attention the most. Cezel also said that she always get annoyed yet thrilled of how Korean drama end each episode and every line makes their viewers relate to it and make them excited yet sad at the same

    Various books have been banned from school and unbanned as time goes by, due to the changing times, like “Catcher in the Rye” it was one of the most controversial books when it was released due to the language and the life that Holden lived. Censoring has become a natural way for channels to cover up things they don’t want to be seen or heard. Many forms of censorship have also taken place in school to make sure students are introduced to material the school board and teachers don’t find suitable for them. Censorship also stops people from enjoying things as they are meant to be enjoyed, from censoring words to censoring actions others have done for the sake of story and art. Censorship…

    Today, when we talk about Japanese or Korean women, we picture someone who is educated, who is empowered, who is independent; We picture women clad in fashionably short skirts, equipped with newly polished nails, a face decorated with make up and newly done hair, strutting in the streets of Tokyo or Seoul. However, what is unknown to us is how Japan and Korea’s women of today came to be. The women of today didn’t just come up out of nowhere. They are so to speak, socially and historically constructed, a product of change, of events and incidents that took place many years ago and is gradually “in process” and “being formed” even until this very moment. What are remarkable is how both these women despite being from different countries; share some similar aspects in arriving at where they are now.…

    Kim Kiduk

    Kim Ki-duk's films are not easy to watch, or, as one critic has stated, they 'tend do make one uncomfortable' (Kim, S.H. n.d.: para. 1). His style and aesthetics are unique among Korean filmmakers, his movies are filled with symbolically charged, surreal imagery, while his bizarre stories always revolve around marginalized characters and social outcasts such as pimps, prostitutes, hoodlums, and murderers. In fact, Kim's consistent choice of provocative themes and controversial characters that are far away from any kind of mainstream has already become one of his very own, distinctive trademarks. His stories are often disturbing and violent, but at the same time extraordinarily complex and puzzling, having the tendency to leave the audience with more questions than answers, and confronting them with multiple possibilities of interpretation. In that sense, Kim Ki-duk's films also display various postmodern elements: they cross genre boundaries, cite and allude to other cinematic or literary works, and withstand the traditional conventions of narrative structure, often neglecting such things as logic or…
