ep53: Cracking the Korean Hallyu Code

<p>Why are Korean dramas and movies so much more popular globally than other East Asian dramas? Perhaps we're really good with the dystopian stuff (admittedly John and I did not give the romance k-dramas their due). Consider Squid Game, for example. What about Japanese Anime - these are clearly globally loved but John and I may have outgrown them. Tune in to hear two Koreans share their thoughts.</p> <p>John is one of my best friends living in Korea. We met back in middle schools and have kept in touch ever since.</p> <p>Don't forget to subscribe and/or follow me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hd_tck/">Instagram</a> or <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrcLa3Rc9VjSYKwLn2fRr6A/featured">YouTube</a> for more random thoughts, conversations, and experiences from a third culture kid that's finding his way around the world. A third culture kid is someone who grew up in a country that's different from the one his parents were raised in. I grew up in Brazil, raised in a Korean household, and was educated in an American school - all at once.</p>
