With the development of society,there are many modern career women in Korea. Korean TV dramas often focuses on these women,but the image in the media and the reality in society have some difference. We offen misread the images of these career women because of over- representation and over-interpretation of the Korean TV dramas. In Korea,women's career development is influnced by many cultural traditions and social environment. Most Korean women are well educated,which provides a good educational foundation for the career development. But on the other hand,in order to look after the family,many women had to quit their jobs and become a full-time housewife after they got married. Korean society has less protection policys for the career women. Advanced degrees and lower employment,glass ceiling in career,family roles and fertility problems,all of these are impeding the career development of Korean women. <<
