In the wake of my father’s death and my mother’s dementia, I felt a strong urge to reconnect with North Korea, a land shrouded in mystery, and sought a way to explore my roots.
K-dramas became my personal bridge to understanding Korean culture; through family epics with emotive storytelling, I found a way to connect, even with language barriers.
The global success of shows like Squid Game reflects a growing interest in Korean narratives, illustrating the power of storytelling in bridging cultural divides and connecting with diaspora audiences.
What began as a guilty pleasure transformed into a meaningful exploration of my heritage and identity, revealing how deeply intertwined personal stories can be with larger cultural movements.
