Seoul Searching

Seoul Searching is primarily a vibrant teen comedy, so Humor, Joy, and Happiness are dominant, reflecting the mischievous and fun-loving spirit of the foreign-born Korean teenagers. As a coming-of-age drama, it also evokes significant Empathy and Sadness through their struggles with identity, cultural assimilation, and personal growth. The 1980s setting and the theme of rediscovering heritage contribute strongly to a sense of Nostalgia and Melancholy for a bygone era and a bittersweet summer experience.
