ION, I just finished watching a TV version of "Jane Eyre", meaning I've watched the three big novels ("Wuthering Heights" "The Tenant of Windfall Hall") over 2 weeks, including a film on lives of Brontë family.
Jane Eyre is the only one I've actually read - 30 years ago - and I had forgotten the bulk of it.
The film about the family answered the question I had: why were all the novels written at the same time? The themes are similar, so I can understand the publisher's confusion (1) #bronte
#bronte (2)
I actually found the stories had similar themes to #kdrama ! Mainly parental deaths and marriage/love between classes.
Brontes include much more wild moors, big houses, less umbrellas, more clergy and governesses ( as were their real lives)
An interesting interlude to Kdrama, do I return to love in Korea, or carry on with English classics ( Jane Austen)?

I never read Bronté -books, I did watch movie-adaptions long ago.
Jane Austen 's Great Six I did read several times, and watched series filmed in different periods. I was by far not the first mentioning the link between Pride & Prejudice and #Kdrama in other forums.
Her other books can also be linked with it.
( I met a few JA-fans in real life, just when my K-addiction started. They were annoyed I placed some Kdrama on the same levels, film-wise 🙂 )
@hanktank61 Pride & Prejudice was one of my English O level exam books!! And I feel I don't know the others at all well.
But after a couple of weeks of TV on the Brontë Yorkshire Moors I have dived into #kdrama #dynamitekiss for some sunshine. And straight away there's a wealthy man choosing clothes for a lady - just like Jane Eyre ( and Pretty Woman)
There's some nice laughs in Dynamite Kiss too ( not many laughs in Wuthering Heights...)
1995!!!
Which wasn't really that long after my school exams (1982) but is a long time from now!!!
