Binge-watching K-dramas? Expert says, it's good for mental health
Hindustan TimesIf you've ever binge-watched an entire season of a K-drama like "Squid Game" or "Crash Landing On You", one Korean-American expert has good news: it's likely improved your mental health. "We all have family pressures and expectations, conflict, trauma, hope," she said, adding that watching heavy topics being successfully managed on screen can change people's ability to navigate real-world challenges. American schoolteacher Jeanie Barry discovered K-drama via a family funeral, when a friend recommended a series -- 2020's "It's Okay to Not Be Okay" -- she thought could help her after a difficult time. K-drama - or television and cinema generally - can help viewers "gain insights into situations from a new perspective, fostering healthy values and providing solutions to their issues," he said.
