South Korea is one of the largest countries whose cultural exportation effects are acknowledged by the rest world. Its culture products are popular in the Chinese market, especially the Korea TV series. Undoubtedly, the massive entrance of Korea TV series into Chinese market has exerted huge influence on Chinese TV series market. From the perspective of marketing, the thesis analyzes the marketing models in which Korea TV series enters the Chinese market, such as direct sale model, business agent marketing model, Network channel marketing model, DVD CD marketing model and exposition marketing model. The effects of all the marketing models have also been analyzed and evaluated objectively in this thesis. For instance, Direct Sale Pattern has an advantage on saving the import and agent expenses which only exist in the traditional model. Therefore, marketing cost can be reduced in this model. Agents should run the risk of marketing and funding with the business agent marketing model. The superiority of network channel marketing model and DVD CD marketing model is that audiences take more initiative. However, both models have strict standards in receiving condition and have certain limits in audience group and coverage. Exposition marketing model is much easier to collect industry information, grasp domestic and oversea trend accurately and get quick response. Then taking the historian drama “Da Chang Jin”, which received the highest viewing ratio in China, as an example, I conclude that the TV series should choose the dominate medium as its marketing g agent, and make full use of the dominate medium’s advantages in comprehensive resources. In the end of the thesis, the conclusion that Chinese TV series should employ direct sale model has been made on the basis of the above analysis.
