ABSTRACT

This article aims at exploring the convergence and sharing of cultural tastes among Northeast Asian countries by analyzing TV drama “Boys over flower”, based on the original Japanese manga and produced in Korea, China, Japan and Taiwan in the 21st century. It explores the expectation and desire of the mass who have taken pleasure in watching it in each country as well. This article argues that the sharing of the sensitivities and tastes of young women, the main consumer of the drama, by the mass of the three countries, are an important cultural phenomenon in that it reveals the emergence of “girl” as an active cultural consumer, who had been the object of a restraint and strict protection of the bourgeois family structure.
