Abstract

In the current society with rapid economic development, the aestheticization of daily life is playing an increasingly prominent role. The popularity of Korean dramas in recent years is one manifestation of the aestheticization of daily life. Aspects such as the plot, characters, and the love portrayed in Korean dramas have caused a strong response among audiences, bringing higher aesthetic demands and psychological satisfaction. Some details often overlooked by audiences in daily life are artistically expressed in Korean dramas, enabling audiences to discover the “truth, goodness, and beauty” in life, prompting them to seek and cherish the present real life.
