No, it's a generalization. Just like in any other country, there are people with a wide range of experiences. Some Koreans lead very happy and fulfilling lives without any major sad events.
Korea has a history of war and division which has left deep scars. Families were separated, and many people had to endure hardships during and after the war. Even today, the division still affects the lives of Koreans in various ways. So, it's not surprising that many have sad stories related to the past traumas and the ongoing situation.
The first main element is the struggle between personal desires and family obligations. In Korean culture, family is highly valued. So, when an individual has their own dreams that deviate from what the family expects, like a girl who wants to travel the world instead of getting married early as her family wishes, it creates a sad contradiction. Second, the influence of social hierarchy is an element. Lower - class individuals may face contradictions when they try to break free from the limitations set by their social status. They may have big dreams but are held back by the prejudices of the society. Third, the fast - changing modern world also brings elements of sad contradictions. Old - fashioned businesses may struggle to adapt to new technologies, causing a contradiction between survival and the inability to change.
One sad contradictions Korean story could be about a young artist. In Korea, there's a strong emphasis on success in a traditional career. This young artist had a passion for modern art, which was seen as non - traditional. His family wanted him to pursue a stable job like being a doctor or a lawyer. He was constantly torn between his family's expectations and his own dreams. Despite his talent, he faced many rejections in the art world which added to his internal conflict. Eventually, he gave in to his family's wishes but lost his creative spark, a sad contradiction between family loyalty and personal passion.
One common theme is sacrifice. The father might sacrifice his own well - being for his daughter's future, or the daughter could sacrifice her own desires for her father's expectations. For example, the father working long hours in a dangerous job to earn money for his daughter's education, but at the cost of his health.
One possible sad story could be that the father was a hard - working man who got seriously ill. The daughter, still a young girl, had to watch her father's health deteriorate. She tried her best to take care of him, but in the end, the father passed away, leaving the daughter feeling lost and alone in the world. She missed all the times they could have had together if he hadn't fallen ill so suddenly.
You should check out 'Love Is Hurt' from 'The Heirs'. It's a touching song that captures the pain of love in a Korean drama. Another good one is 'A Sad Love Story' from the drama of the same name. The song perfectly complements the tragic love story.
Another sad aspect was the destruction of entire villages. The war brought destruction everywhere. Villages that were once peaceful and prosperous became ruins. People had to flee with nothing but the clothes on their backs, and many starved or died of diseases during their flight.
