We’re in between seasons 3 and 4! Today, Joanna has a conversation with Professor Ernabel Demillo, Department Chair of the Communication and Media Culture Department at Saint Peter's University and host of the Emmy-award winning "Asian American Life" show on CUNY-TV. We talk about: * The many different genres of K Dramas. * The K Dramas we’re watching now: Tomorrow, Business Proposal, The Glory. * What Ernabel thought about Mr. Sunshine, including the cinematography, the characters, the music, Korea history, and culture. * The process that Sung Hee and Joanna use to create our episodes. * The K Drama elements that we find in most K Dramas, e.g., umbrella scene, piggyback ride, back hug, deep lean. * How Asian American Life is still the only monthly magazine show on broadcast TV devoted to the Asian American diaspora. * How Asian American Life explores social issues through the Asian American lens, but also celebrates Asian-American achievements and milestones. * The themes that “Asian American Life” covers: identity, Asian-American “firsts,” food, entertainment. * How Asian American Life covers the rise in hate and crimes against Asian-Americans in the US. * The Hallyu wave. * Netflix’ investment in K Dramas. * 25, 21, the K Drama that K Drama Chat will recap and analyze in Season 4. Next week, Sung Hee, Joanna and Jeanie (Sung Hee’s sister) will talk about K Drama elements, Korean language, and why subtitles on K Dramas often don’t quite match what’s being said.
