How did you get introduced to K-Drama?

I think for me,

I was reading some Korean news stories about how Winter Sonata became very popular in Japan. Considering the history between these two Countries, the fact that a Korean Drama was a major hit in Japan got my curiosity up. So, i decided to check out Winter Sonata by Googleing and downloading from this site.

And after watching the first few episodes of Winter Sonata, I was instantly hooked. I've never seen anything like this, not even in American TV which is pretty bad to begin with.

Well K-Drama has conquered Asia, and it's becoming more popular in America, thanks to internet, and Korean stations in American cities.

for me it was the owner of a video store...hehe The man told me that I "needed" to watch it and if I didn't like it I can ask for a refund...hehe Roll Eyes

so I took it home and completely got into the Korean wave...haha Whistling

and I took my sister along for the ride... we're totally addicted now... Cool

The name of the Drama was Endless Love AKA An Autumns Tale... with Won Bin and SSH in it...haha that was the first time I realized how hot Korean guys could be... Whistling

Well, anyways... that was how I got into the wave Laugh

My best friend, who is half-Korean, kept telling me about this wonderful drama that she used to watch and cry over with her mom. The drama? Stairway to Heaven. Not long after seeing that, I read online about Densha Otoko and thought it was the cutest story ever. Having seen these two excellent dramas, I was hooked forever!

me?..well, my lito sister downloaded a korean drama for the first time...she didn't know what it was but everyone kept saying it was a great show... when the download was complete we watched it together...it was Full House! we were so surprised to see Bi/Rain!!!... which was kind of ironic because we just saw his music video at the korean music countdown on TV that nite(we didn't know he acted as well^^;;)
...and ever since then i've had a craving for kdramas^____^

I downloaded a Korean Drama thinking it was a Japanese Drama (for some reason I overlooked that imporant fact), but to my suprise I turned out to like it, so now I look out for drama from both salut

I'm still pretty new to Kdramas though.

I've known for their existence and potency for a while, probably since the time the recent Korean Wave made big news internationally. I was acutely aware of their addictive properties. For that reason alone, I stayed away from them. I knew that I would be sucked in if I caved.

Only very recently did I finish a whole kdrama. It was Full House, of course. I was actually curious to find out what made Song Hye Gyo so extremely popular around here. I considered it a sort of investigation more than entertainment. Although now, I have a somewhat higher respect for Bi. I tend to be skeptical of the abilities of a singer who turns to acting, or vice versa. In America, it's rarely a good career move when a celebrity switches modes of media. I can put down a list of failed singing careers of actors, and failed attempts at acting by singers, but I think you all already know it all.

I've moved on, now watching All In. I had actually planned to watch All In first, but Full House ended up downloading a whole lot faster, and I was getting too impatient.

Started watching Kdrama when I ran out of Jdrama to watch. Full House was the first that hooked me.

Started watching Jdrama when I lost interest in Anime (Still not sure if I outgrew anime or the quality in general has deteriorated).. Densha Otoko was the first that got me interested in dramas.

I was just surfing the web and kinda bored when i happen onto the jtv site. Was sorta curious what kdrama was like. So i downloaded Bright Girl, and liked it. But generally i dont watch that much kdrama, because its usually just about love triangles.

Was bored one day while watching tv and just skipping through channels. I eneded up watching stopping at the korean channel. It was the 4th episode of "Stairway To Heaven." And it started off from there..
