PART 2:
I have also looked for years onto the topic of what a feeling or an emotion is. I have been seeking to definite the myriad of emotions we feel. The ground-breaking work by Paul Ekman on facial expressions (born out of Charles Darwin’s work) and then having culminated in the « Atlas of Emotions » (a project sponsored by the Office of the 14th Dalai Lama, http://www.atlasofemotions.org) is to be mentioned here.
Also of course, Daniel Goleman’s many years of work on Emotional Intelligence, but also the typology which is way older, originally expressed in C.G. Jung’s works, and then standardised by the work of Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Myers Briggs, universally known as the Myers-Briggs-Type Indicator (MBTI) — the latter appears repeatedly (often laughed at) in K-Dramas by the way, and now, beyond the blood type, it appears to be fashionable in South Korea to ask for one’s MBTI to derive some sort of immediate understanding of the other person in front of them … I remember my American colleague telling me about 10 years ago (he was in his late 40s then) that they had been hit around the head by the school psychologist with their respective MBTI type; he found it annoying. I also know that my once employer, McKinsey, used MBTI at one time for their consultants in London to make up effective consulting teams — with great success I might add.
Lastly, there is the work by Bradley Nelson, « The Emotion Code » which I find useful and would want to mention here in this context as an energy healing method.
As you say, @seeker, K-Drama offers a universal emotional connect which is unique in the world. However, I find this too rarely expressed and analysed in depth.
Emotions have of course fascinated and engaged humanity since the beginning and have been the subject of many a research and experiments, whether scientific or spiritual.
Generally people are uncomfortable with the thought that anybody can analyze / judge them on the basis of their emotions. But there is definitely merit in such analysis. While MBTI may be derided as a pseudoscience, it too has its significance other than merely a great conversation starter. 😂 Just kidding.
I am also fascinated by the idea of physical healing through emotions. We all know happiness indeed contributes to overall well-being and K-dramas have now for years been recognized as “healing”.
It is really enlightening how most people engage with DB on an emotional level and how much our appreciation for K-dramas have deepened with our discussions with people from all over the world.
In one of my first posts on DB I had decided what K-dramas mean to me and how much they have influenced my live perspective.

For me K-dramas have over the years worked as a great teacher of life lessons and provided free therapy. 😂
One of our Beanies had a great post where she asked “what does DB mean to you?“.

I do believe that I have learned a lot from K-dramas and often post comments / screencaps from various dramas with the title “K-drama Lessons”.
