Introduction Communities across the world boast of cultural heritages that are presumably rich. Each ethnic grouping tends to perceive its own culture as superior to other cultures. However, the important aspects to understand about culture entail what it covers together with the essence of its being. The Oxford Advanced Learners’ Dictionary defines culture as “the customs and beliefs, art, way of life and social organization of a particular country or group” (Para. 1). The world is divided into a plethora of groupings in terms of races, nations, and ethnicities, which translate into a myriad of cultures for each of these groupings. The Korean culture is part of this vast diversity cultures. This paper examines the Korean culture via three Korean dramas, viz. The Princess Man, Painter of the Wind, and Sungkyunkwan Scandal, whose setting and plot depict ancient Korean Culture. The paper’s focus is on the education of women during the Choson or Joseon Dynasty. The Choson Dynasty This dynasty existed in what is now known as Korea and it lasted for five hundred years (Sung-jin Para. 2). The Choson “society was one in which the Yangban (aristocracy) wielded tremendous power” (Hee-sook 113). The literature that exists on this dynasty indicates that women were highly discriminated against. The ruling class of the Choson Dynasty applied Confucian philosophies to rule the dynasty (Hee-sook 113). The Choson culture demanded a lot from the womenfolk of the dynasty. The Yangban women were expected to behave in a particular manner slightly different from a commoner woman, but still be a woman. For instance, they were prohibited from visiting the temple monastery, hosting shaman rituals, and engaging in direct contact with men (Hee-sook 115). The ordinary woman was expected to play a subservient role to the men in all circumstances. One the most dehumanizing restrictions of this dynasty was that women were never allowed to remarry after a husband’s death, a law that was enforced in the pretext of preserving the chastity of women on a national scale (Sung-jin Para.2). Clearly, this dynasty was bent on making women’s life unbearable, which has been depicted quite clearly in the three dramas that are used to manifest the day-to-day lives of women in this dynasty. The Education of Women in Choson Dynasty Different classes of people were allowed into varying categories of formal education, but only men benefitted from meaningful formal education. The aforementioned pieces, viz. The Princess Man, Painter of the Wind, and Sungkyunkwan Scandal paint a picture of the Korean way of life in ancient times. An analysis of each of them separately and comparing it with what the annals say about the education will confirm that indeed what the script writers placed in those plays reflects what took place. The Princess Man The princess Man is a Korean drama series that was broadcast on several TV stations and was touted as being very good. It is plotted on a famous Korean historical event, Gyeyu Jeongnan , in the Choson dynasty. The fine details of the plot development are not of much importance to this paper, but may be highlighted at points where they are necessary to elaborate a co
