I was very pleased with today's session when I learned how Korean TV Drama and comedy has found great acceptance throughout Asia and various European countries. It is a shame that although the Korean TV shows demonstrate a great deal of creativity and innovative ideas, these are not well known in the USA. While Hollywood might see this situation as a potential rate decrease of popular American TV shows, this could result in a positive outcome, which bring new and fresh ideas for marketing more products and increasing ratings of new TV shows. On the long run, this could bring more revenue to the film and television industry, since we live in a diverse world. As a Latino woman, I grew up in the tele-novela culture, where TV drama was often the preferred afternoon family activity after dinner. We transmitted the taste for these programs at the same time that keeps families together somehow. Nowadays, novelas, food shows, comedy, and talent shows are the 'norm' to keep people entertained in America.
I would incorporate K-TV shows and short films in an English class to practice character and plot analysis skills during think-pair-share activities and small group presentations.
