Social Class: Who Rules?

Sungkyungkwan Scandal. Rich Man, Poor Woman. Coffee Prince. Hana Yori Dango. Gu Family Book.

These asianovelas have it's own different story lines. However, they have one thing in common. And that is the idea wherein rich people always get the upper hand. We're not saying that all of the asianovelas we have cited above featured that idea in the whole series, but they may have included bits of it somewhere in the story. Actually, almost all of the asianovelas have that "fact" included in their story line. There's always this poor character  who was being bullied or harassed by the rich people and ending up doing what they are asking of him/her. 

And why is this a fact? Because it is indeed happening in our society. The idea, that is: the ruling class will always have the power over the working class, has been implanted to the minds of the viewers by showing it through the media, specifically these dramas that we fell in love with. It became sort of a reminder, i guess? 

Repetition.This idea just keep on repeating and repeating in all the Korean and Japanese dramas that we watch and we ended up believing it and it's just the media's way of relaying that message to the working class that the ruling class will always have the power over them, on way or another.
