This is a great post. Korea is a very facinating country about entertainment media and technology. I only perceive the picture of Korea from the drama series and of course it is superficial portrayed just some aspect of the culture, just like other countries' dramas. I see the similarity, almost identical, between Korea and Thailand in this aspect. The privileged men in the society are stricted to the minority that have always been at the top. Even though there is a wealth gap in Korea but I belive that in Thailand is significant higher. What different is that in Thailand, the rich are mostly immigrants especially Chinese ancestries while in Korea has the population of their own as the majoity. I think it is an Asian value in confucianism that is why it is different from the western value or in the US. Very interesting post indeed. Thanks for the insight of Korean culture :) I followed and upvoted you.
