This month we celebrate International Women’s Day, but we also celebrate a very important anniversary in Korea.  March first is the anniversary of the March First Movement.  This year, we thought it would be special to celebrate some of the important women that participated in the March First Movement and the actions that it inspired.

March brings Women’s History Month – and Korean adoptee women have played important roles in shaping conversations around identity, belonging, and advocacy, while also building many of the spaces where adoptees gather, connect, and share their stories.

There is a little bit of everything going on in dramaland this month.  We have silly, we have rom-com, we have revenge and thriller and legal with psychological twists.  It’s a good month to try out a number of different styles, a number of different streaming sources and see whose storytelling is the most captivating.

Please join us March 29^th at 2:00 PM when we will discuss Han Kang’s book, We Do Not Part, which deals with the Jeju 4.3 massacre.

March 8th is International Women’s Day and this month we will celebrate Korea’s female deity Mago. Mago, known as Mago the grandmother (마고 할머니), is a female deity celebrated in Korea as a goddess of creation.

Lunar New Year is only a couple of weeks away, and Koreans always take their last chances to wish everyone a Happy New Year. I always thought that it is a great thing that we get to say happy new year to everyone for a little longer.
