The Korean Myths: A Guide to the Gods, Heroes and Legends

"So this is not as comprehensive, and it’s not meant to be, nor is it meant to be academic and scholarly. But it’s a fun read, written by this wonderful Korean-American novelist Heinz Insu Fenkl and his daughter. For more informal readers who are not approaching this from a scholarly, academic angle, I think this would be the book to go to for the major Korean myths and folk tales and stories. Absolutely. A lot of these stories have been the basis of K-dramas and K-films, so they’ll recognize them, and it’ll give them a better understanding of what’s going on. The characters and themes appear in things like K-Pop Demon Hunters . So this will just enhance the enjoyment of something fans already enjoy anyway."
