Just like any other country, the DPRK entertainment industry hinges on a whole variety of different soap operas and TV dramas. From stories of anti-Japanese heroines of the 1940s, to modern daily life stories following local communities and families.
But beyond the entertainment, DPRK media is littered with messages and symbolism, with the medium of television dramas a chance to see what values are considered most important in the country, and what lessons each show is seeking to teach the viewer.
