Abstract
La presente investigación indaga en la construcción de la protagonista femenina
surcoreana en tres K-dramas: Secret Garden (2010), Master’s Sun (2013) y Strong Woman Do
Bong Soon (2017). Además, es de tipo cualitativo y de carácter descriptivo con una vocación
interpretativa.
Con el fin de identificar y analizar la representación de la protagonista femenina, revisé
la constitución de la subjetividad femenina, las nociones de género, identidad y estereotipos;
así como el contexto surcoreano y el rol de la mujer, como base para las producciones
audiovisuales de ese país. Sobre la base de ello, analicé a las protagonistas de los K-dramas
para identificar las características físicas, emocionales y relacionales de los personajes
femeninos, así como los elementos de ornamento, que contribuyen a su construcción.
Los resultados indican que en general todas las protagonistas cumplen con los cánones
de belleza occidentales. No obstante, en la representación física del personaje se pueden
detectar cambios respecto de la representación occidental y la propia representación de la
protagonista de los K-dramas. Además, la noción de belleza en estas representaciones no tiene
que ver solo con aspectos físicos, sino también cuenta con una dimensión emocional subjetiva
que está relacionada con el despliegue del aegyo. En ese sentido, se genera un proceso de
ruptura que es visible a nivel relacional tanto a nivel familiar como a nivel de pareja y a nivel
laboral. En los tres casos analizados, se observa que en la representación de la protagonista
surcoreana se rompe con estereotipos de género en relación a su independencia.
The present research investigates the construction of the South Korean female protagonist in three K-dramas: Secret Garden (2010), Master's Sun (2013) and Strong Woman Do Bong Soon (2017). Furthermore, it’s qualitative and descriptive in nature with an interpretive vocation. In order to identify and analyze the representation of the female protagonist, I reviewed the constitution of female subjectivity, the notions of gender, identity and stereotypes; as well as the South Korean context and the role of women, as a basis for audiovisual productions in that country. Based on this, I analyzed the protagonists of K-dramas to identify the physical, emotional and relational characteristics of the female characters as well as the elements of ornament, which contribute to their construction. The results indicate that, in general, all the protagonists comply with Western beauty standards. However, in the physical representation of the character, changes can be detected with respect to the Western representation and the representation of the protagonist of the Kdramas. Furthermore, the notion of beauty does not only have to do with physical attributes, but also has a subjective emotional dimension that is related to the deployment of aegyo. In that sense, a rupture process is visible at the relational level at the family level, at the couple level, and at the work level. In the three cases analyzed, it is observed that the representation of the South Korean protagonist breaks gender stereotypes in relation to her independence.
