Whether it's a cultural phenomena or a multi-institutional campaign, my mom and sister and (now my wife) can't get enough of the Korean dramas. My mom says it's the similarity in cultural values, my wife says it's the romance, and my sister claims she's just keeping my mom company, but they all can sit through hours of it like nuns in mass at the Vatican. I don't expect the interest to die down any time soon, and just as those in the Rock and Roll world who were predicting the fall of hip hop and rap, to their dismay, watched it get even more popular. I think Korean popular dramas will be a mainstay for spreading Korean cultural around the world for quiet some time.
