Penelitian ini membahas ketidakadilan gender dalam drama Korea When Life Gives You Tangerines episode 1–3 dengan menyoroti kehidupan Ae-sun dan ibunya, Gwang-rye, sebagai perempuan Pulau Jeju yang menghadapi berbagai bentuk ketidakadilan gender dalam tatanan sosial patriarki. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi bentuk-bentuk ketidakadilan gender berdasarkan teori Mansour Fakih serta mengkaji representasinya melalui konsep representasi Stuart Hall. Penelitian menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan menganalisis dialog dan monolog para tokoh.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa drama When Life Gives You Tangerines episode 1–3 merepresentasikan lima bentuk ketidakadilan gender yang berkaitan erat dengan budaya patriarki masyarakat Jeju. Marginalisasi ditunjukkan melalui pembatasan perempuan pada pekerjaan tradisional dan domestik, seperti haenyeo dan pembantu, serta eksploitasi hasil kerja perempuan demi menopang ekonomi keluarga. Subordinasi tampak melalui pengutamaan hak laki-laki atas pendidikan, pernikahan, dan kedudukan dalam keluarga, terutama untuk mempertahankan posisi jongson (cucu laki-laki tertua). Stereotip terlihat melalui pelabelan perempuan sebagai sosok yang berkapasitas rendah, pembawa nasib buruk, dan pelanggar norma kesusilaan. Beban ganda tercermin pada tuntutan agar perempuan menjalankan tanggung jawab domestik sekaligus menjadi penopang ekonomi keluarga. Sementara itu, kekerasan diwujudkan dalam bentuk kekerasan psikologis, verbal, ekonomi, serta pemaksaan pernikahan. Selain itu, penelitian ini menemukan bahwa satu ujaran dapat merepresentasikan lebih dari satu bentuk ketidakadilan gender secara bersamaan, misalnya stereotip terhadap perempuan yang kemudian menjadi dasar munculnya subordinasi dan marginalisasi.

This study examines gender injustice in the Korean drama When Life Gives You Tangerines (?? ????), episodes 1–3, by focusing on the lives of Ae-sun and her mother, Gwang-rye, as women from Jeju Island who experience various forms of gender injustice within a patriarchal social order. The study aims to identify the forms of gender injustice based on Mansour Fakih's theory and to analyze their representation using Stuart Hall's concept of representation. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method by analyzing the characters' dialogues and monologues.

The findings reveal that episodes 1–3 of When Life Gives You Tangerines represent five forms of gender injustice that are closely related to the patriarchal culture of Jeju society. Marginalization is reflected in the restriction of women to traditional and domestic occupations, such as haenyeo and domestic servants, as well as the exploitation of women's labor to support the family economy. Subordination is manifested through the prioritization of men's rights to education, marriage, and family status, particularly to preserve the position of the jongson (the eldest grandson). Stereotyping is represented through labeling women as intellectually inferior, bearers of misfortune, and violators of social morality. Double burden is reflected in the expectation that women assume domestic responsibilities while simultaneously serving as the family's economic providers. Violence is represented in the forms of psychological, verbal, and economic violence, as well as forced marriage. Furthermore, the findings indicate that a single utterance may simultaneously represent more than one form of gender injustice. For instance, an utterance may represent the stereotype that women are less capable, which subsequently legitimizes their subordination and marginalization.
