Dramas are a part of our culture that people can enjoy peacefully without going out. That¡¯s why everyone watches dramas easily, and many people enjoy dramas. This is one reason that makes people watch dramas, but the biggest reason we are crazy about dramas is that dramas resemble our lives. However, it can be asked whether the drama resembles society or society resembles the drama. What do you think about it?
Society is influenced by dramas Dramas are based on our lives. Therefore, dramas frequently show our daily lives. It is because a drama cannot gain the people¡¯s sympathy unless it discusses real society. That is why the problems of society that we usually think of are reflected in dramas. Drama producers implicitly criticize social problems in dramas. For example, in the drama ¡°Tae-hui, Hye-gyo, Ji-hyeon,¡± it describes how various families live with other people. Unexpectedly, it seems that it reflects people¡¯s daily lives. However, the drama suggests the problems of society through scenes of children in private education, the head of a family turned into a penniless bum, and a mother¡¯s influence on teachers in school. Also, the drama ¡°Hit¡± has dealt with serial murders recently. As you see, society is shown in a drama that then influences society which then influences drama.
Dramas are influenced by society A drama is affected by society because the drama is built on society. However, the dramas often come to have an effect on the society. For example, not only did most clothes in the drama ¡°Style¡± became fashion trends, but also the word ¡°edge¡± became fashionable. The drama affects people in a part of their culture. When you see a drama, most scenes resemble our society because the drama was made on the basis of society. Moreover, people put themselves and the drama¡¯s heroes in the same class and act and dress the same. This is due to ¡°transference psychology.¡± Seeing ¡°Brilliant Legacy,¡± people dream of love like the one in the drama. Also, seeing ¡°Queen Seon-deok,¡± people imagine that they become the character ¡°Mi-sil.¡± Because of this element, the TV audience becomes crazier about the drama. If ¡°transference psychology¡± occurs in a drama that is positive, it will not become a problem. However, if this ¡°transference psychology¡± happens for an immoral drama, serious problems will occur. As themes of dramas change to sensational ones these days, scenes of immoral intimacy, violence etc. often appear. The audience experience ¡°observational learning¡± from those scenes. They learn violence and immoral intimacy from scenes of the drama, and they think that this behavior is also expected. As a result, people can easily show an unrestrained nature with a violent propensity. However, more serious problems can be brought about by negative scenes that people see, and people can become insensitive to these scenes.
Each drama and society has to give and take influence. Because there is a close correlation between dramas and society, resembling each other is natural. However, it is good that it is in a give and take relationship, but there is also a bad effect. How about considering that society exists in dramas when you watch a drama? Then you cannot ignore scenes in the drama.
