Recently I’ve watched a Korean TV series called’ Falling in love with Zhang Baoli’ or ‘I love Zhang Baoli’. It tells a story of exchanged life between a ‘princess’ and a ’Cinderella’. Miss Zhang was born in a rich family. Her family was known for the generation-by-generation traditional Korean dress making skill. When she was eight years old, she was run into by a car and the diver took her away to avoid the punishment. She lost her memory and lived with her new ‘mother’, who was the driver, for twenty years. Accidentally, the driver’s daughter—Miss Yan used Miss Zhang’s painting to win in a competition and Miss Zhang’s real parents supported her to study in the big city. Later Miss Yan was adopted by Miss Zhang’s real parents. In university, Miss Yan secretly bore a baby and left it to her mother and Miss Zhang. Miss Zhang was very kind-hearted. She brought up the baby and regarded her as her own daughter. Miss Yan tried to forget the past, and she wanted to live the rich new life. However, at last the truth was discovered. Miss Zhang became the inheritor of her grandma’s skill, while Miss Yan got the punishment.

When a person tells a lie, he/she will has to tell more lies to cover the secret. In the TV series, Miss Yan’s mother wanted to get rid of punishment and Miss Yan wanted to win the drawing competition and study in the big city, as a result they had to tell more lies and made more mistakes. But one day others will finally find the truth, so we should be honest.

I was also impressed by the introduction of traditional Korean dress making skill. Miss Zhang’s family was famous for the skill. They insisted on doing it totally by hand. Also, they designed it according to different customers’ needs and likes. People wearing it felt very comfortable and happy. In China, we have a lot of traditional culture and skill, if we can also introduce them in modern TV series as well as in ancient TV series, more young people will get to know the traditional culture and skill, fall in love with them and inherit them.
