Digna Delfino and Jomari Echano - De La Salle University Philippines -
That’s right. Such a stunning
and intelligent idea. That was the topic of the paper presented by Digna
Delfino and Jomari Echano of the De La Salle University in the Philippines on
22 May 2024. The College of Liberal Arts, De La Salle University (DLSU) in
cooperation with Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, held a joint conference on ‘Asian
TV Dramas and The Popular Mind in
South-east Asia’ between 20 May and 22 May 2024 in Manila.    https://asiantvdramasconference.com/program-schedule/
It is significant that Lee
Joon Gi’s television series have been singled out for praise. Since his rise
to fame in The King and The Clown in 2005, Lee Joon Gi, the multi-talented Top
Actor-Action Star and Entertainer (Singer-Dancer) has been selective and careful
about the roles that he plays and the television series that he is involved in.
He chooses his television series meticuluously and prioitises the positive effects
they have on society.
 Moral Integrity and Justice
are very important issues. The many important life values embodied in Lee Joon
Gi’s television series like Gunman in Joseon (2014), Moon Lovers-Scarlet Heart
Ryeo (2016), Criminal Minds (2017), Lawless Lawyer (2018), Flower of Evil
(2020), Again My Life (2022) and The Sword of Aramun (2023) provide many of life’s
lessons and are worth discussing in the classroom.     These days when children are
growing up stunted because of their diet of feather-brained celebrities and
their frivolous dramas with filmsy values, special attention should be paid to intelligent
and meaningful television series and the important values espoused by them. The
heroic qualities of the men and women in the television series like courage, loyalty,
dignity, responsibility and accountability should also be explored in the classroom.
 Children need special
nourishment for their mental, emotional and spiritual health. And Lee Joon Gi’s television
series can decidedly satisfy these needs.
