The present article analyzes the popularity of Winter Sonata (a South Korean television series) among Japanese audiences, especially among middle-aged women, and the impact of the accompanying hanryu phenomenon (the current fad for every aspect of South Korean popular culture) on Japanese society. Various types of primary and archival data were collected including in-depth qualitative interview surveys from 33 female Japanese viewers of Winter Sonata. The interpretive analysis of the data reveals the reasons for Winter Sonata's popularity in Japan, and how this television drama and the hanryu phenomenon have influenced Japanese perceptions of Korean residents living in Japan, South Koreans and North Koreans. In light of the troubled historical relationship between Japan and Korea (given Japan had colonized the Korean peninsula for several decades), the impact of Winter Sonata and the hanryu phenomenon is especially noteworthy
