few reasons wh! ilipinos cannot seem to get eno#gh of them.

love stor!. Altho#gh the stories are sometimes morid, s#ch as s#ddendeaths ca#sed ! car accidents or le#/emia, Korean dramas do not demandfrom their a#dience a high level of sophistication in e6pectation.

to see certain traits of their c#lt#res that are mas/ed ! more accepted socialnorms and c#lt#ral traditions. The ever present patriarchal societ! of Koreathat has een there ever since the 'an d!nast! has een ro#ght to the Koreanconscio#sness thro#gh the soap opera.

The iss#es of in4delit! and incest, tho#gh taoo, were given attention toma/e the viewing p#lic aware of these overloo/ed iss#es in their respectivec#lt#res.

"oap operas have for the past !ears roadened oth the Koreans andilipinos /nowledge ao#t aspects of their c#lt#res, more partic#larl! thewea/nesses in them.

Traditionall!, women in oth societiesare e6pected to e s#missive, not onl! towards their partners #t also an!onepossessing higher a#thorit! over them. The iss#e of child earing was alsodepicted thro#gh the soap opera as a reason for the degradation of women insociet!. The growing trend of co#ples getting married d#e to pre3maritalpregnanc! was a prevalent iss#e.

The mis#se of power has een highlighted. $one! is a so#rce of power forpeople. This is wh! the soap opera made ovio#s the negative relationship of

mone! and power, ! ma/ing the former an instr#ment for revenge. %n relationto gender, men have alwa!s een dominant in the decision ma/ing process inrelationships, d#e to the fact that he is #s#all! portra!ed as the readwinner.

The wea/nesses depicted the e?ects on oth c#lt#res that restrain individ#aldevelopment. $ore speci4call! in the case of women, societ! has hindered theirindependence and empowerment ! stereot!ping them as #ned#catedindivid#als who are not allowed to e6press their views and opinions. emales#ordination can then e avoided ! e=#ipping women with s/ills s#ch as gooded#cation which e?ectivel! enaled them to carr! o#t the decision ma/ingf#nction.

The importance of media as a vehicle for social transformation is f#rtherE#sti4ed.

Thro#gh the !ears television networ/s have slowl! accepted thechallenge of eing messengers of social iss#es to societ! and the seriesTemptation of Wife is testament to this role.
