Advantages of Historical Dramas
Recently, various historical dramas are popularly broadcasted. Somebody doesn't like it because the dramas twist history in order to make their stories more exciting. Nonetheless, I'm sure historical dramas are beneficial with the following reasons.
First, historical dramas tell historical facts and interest people in history or tradition. For instance, ‘바람의 화원’ which is on air nowadays informs the audience the 18th century in Joseon dynasty and the popular black-and-white drawings of two historic painters, Shin yoon bok and Kim hong do through the pictures that couldn't found see in the literate history. As watching the amusing historical drama, people became more and more interested in the genre paintings and the phases of the time.
Another advantage of historical dramas is a tourist attraction. Historical dramas usually build a set filled with the streets and structures of the past and if the drama became popular, the set would be a famed tourist spot. By way of example, lots of people have visited the set of ‘대조영’ in Sokcho since the drama is over. '대조영' is the name of a historical character who founded a country, 발해, in the late 7th century so if you visit there, you could discover a town in those days.
The most important reason is that it could be the best advertisement for the countries. To give an example, ‘대장금’ was exported to many foreign countries such as Japan, China, Iran, Hongkong, India, Taiwan and so on. Through the exported drama foreigners became much more interested in Korea and Korean traditional cuisine which appear deliciously on the screen.
Without the possibility of distorted history historical dramas are very advantageous on account of above three reasons. Therefore, producers should make the dramas based on the thorough historical evidence and audience should watch those with interests in the reality.
