This study adopted the cultural proximity perspective to examine the relationship between the cultural values presented in Taiwan's idol dramas and their popularity among Taiwan's and Asian audiences. This study purposely selected 17 Taiwan's idol dramas and classified them into four types: (1) The dramas that were popular both in Taiwan and in Asian countries. (2) The dramas that were not popular either in Taiwan or in Asian countries. (3) The dramas that were popular in Taiwan, but were not popular in Asian countries. (4) The dramas that were not popular in Taiwan, but were popular in Asian countries. This study employed the method of content analysis to understand how cultural values presented in the idol dramas were related to their ratings in Taiwan and in Asian countries. The data analysis shows that the four types of idol dramas did differ significantly from one another in terms of certain cultural values. More findings were discussed in the thesis.
