This thesis explores how Korean TV series have gained popularity in Italy, particularly in the post-Covid period. It begins with an overview of what K-dramas are, their origins, and their cultural impact in South Korea. The focus then shifts to the global spread of K-dramas after the pandemic, with particular attention to the Italian context. The aim is to analyze how audiences become engaged through streaming platforms, develop interest in other cultures, and consume non-American media. The case study of Squid Game is examined, starting from its direction, moving on to its distribution, and concluding with its influence in Italy.

The focus then shifts to the global spread of K-dramas after the pandemic, with particular attention to the Italian context. The aim is to analyze how audiences become engaged through streaming platforms, develop interest in other cultures, and consume non-American media. The case study of Squid Game is examined, starting from its direction, moving on to its distribution, and concluding with its influence in Italy.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
