My Dearest unpacked with a Confucian lens

What this episode covers

In the second installment of our Confucian series, Sarah and Grace dive deep into the 2023 historical drama My Dearest. We discuss what made the drama "so Confucian," different characters and their varying levels of adherence to Confucianism, including our anti-Confucian hero and heroine, and try to clear up the confusing plot points and timeline. We had a lot of fun unpacking our joint favourite drama of 2023 and hope you enjoy listening it too!For a preview/another take on the drama, check out our sister pod's earlier discussion at Apple Podcasts or Spotify Podcasts
