Drama, as a form of audiovisual literary work, serves not only as a medium of entertainment but also as a representation of cultural values in society. One of the cultural values found in Chinese dramas is Confucianism. This study aims to analyze the representation of Confucian values in the character Nie Xie Guang in the Chinese drama Shine On Me. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through documentation and the Simak Bebas Libat Cakap (SBLC) technique. The data consisted of dialogues and actions of Nie Xie Guang representing Confucian values, while the data source was the drama Shine On Me. The data were analyzed based on the context of each scene and the concepts of Confucian values.
