’s women-led stories are evolving as the local industry kicks some of its dated stereotypes for female characters.
“Back in the day when the country lived in great poverty and there was not much to eat, Korean women were extremely creative in providing food for their family, so in that sense, we always try to make the best of what we were given,” Kim Jiyeon, executive producer of “Squid Game,” told Variety. “My [predecessors] wrote dramas, films and songs about women. There was a spirit of resistance because there were definite barriers at that time. But now, we focus more on freedom and the identity one holds, be it [about] men or women,” says Kang.
