Abstract
In this article, a study was conducted on the topic of promoting learners’ empathy through historical facts and Korean daily life in the drama Mr. Sunshine. In this study, a teaching and learning method was proposed to connect the love story of a man and a woman set in the flowering period of Korea to Iksun-dong, a place that Koreans encounter in their daily lives.
 The theoretical foundation for how to connect daily life and history was found in the discussion of ‘Big C and Little c’, which has been going on for more than 70 years. The legitimacy of these two areas to be discussed together in Korean cultural education was examined and the specific areas were presented.
 With the goal of personal growth of learners through Korean cultural education, the areas of cultural education was divided into cognitive, definitional, and behavioral areas according to Stern’s classification. The cognitive domain was divided into Big C and Little c, and history was placed in Big C and everyday culture in Little c. To make Korean culture education meaningful to learners, empathy and experiential activities were placed in the definitional domain, considering learners’ personal connections.
