What do you mean by Confucian women in Korean dramas?

Confucian female refers to a role type that often appears in Korean dramas. They are usually written as women with gentle personality, modesty and courtesy, caring for others and strong traditional values. This role image emphasizes the core values of Confucianism, such as benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom, and represents the high praise and worship of women in Korean traditional culture.

The appearance of Confucian girls in Korean TV dramas stems from the influence of Korean traditional culture, and also reflects the pursuit and desire of contemporary Korean society for traditional culture. In the rapidly developing modern society, people tend to return to tradition and seek stability and inner satisfaction. As a manifestation of this mentality, Confucian women have been widely welcomed and recognized.

However, the image of Confucian girls is not perfect. In real life, they may be criticized for relying too much on tradition and Confucianism and ignoring the importance of modern values and women's liberation. This criticism reflects the contradiction and pressure of Korean society in the aspects of tradition and modernity, family and career. However, in Korean dramas, Confucian women are still a popular role image, which adds a lot of warmth and humanity to Korean dramas.
