Lock Making in Korean Drama
Novelist Adrienne Leslie discussed lock making and the revealing and nuanced use of locks  in the Korean historical drama, Il Ji-Mae:The Phantom Thief. Held in conjunction with The Korea Society Gallery’s latest exhibit, Talismans of Protection from Chosŏn Korea: Antique Locks, Latches and Key Charms, Leslie discussion touched on how the drama uses special effects reminiscent of CSI to take viewers inside the inner workings of ancient Korean locks, and by extension, inside the inner workings of  Chosŏn society.
