Kekkon Dekinai Otoko!.... and I immediately went addicted to Abe Hiroshi's Kawano character

after that, i felt condemned to perpetual j-drama watching

My friend made me watch LIFE and first I was like I don't wanna bother to watch it because I was pretty sure I wouldn't like it and what did happen after I saw few eps...I fell in love

And after that I have seen more Jdramas.

Gokusen 3 is the very first JDrama I've watched. I've only watched the first episode and I am really enjoying it. I know I'm rather new to this, but great TV is great TV... The Japanese game shows attracted me to this site, but I think I'll be staying for Gokusen 3 and the community. It helps that the show has a little bit of comedy in it. Are there any shows that anybody can recommend that has a bit of comedy splashed into the show?

mii-t · Post by **mii-t** » Jun 25th, '08, 05:22

The first j-drama I watched was the last one-third of Kokoro. I happened to see it on TV one day before work and the lead actress, Nakagoshi Noriko, really caught my attention - I though she was incredibly charming. The episodes were only 15 minutes each so it was easy to watch each morning while having breakfast before I went to the office.

Then I happened to catch the second half of the k-drama Super Rookie. I recognized Eric from Shinwha and again the lead actress caught my attention (Han Ga In). After watching a few other k-dramas I stopped watching dramas for a while.

I was pretty much just watching what was on channel 18/19 here in Los Angeles and happened to catch Sailor Fuku to Kikanju. While the series was not that great, I really liked Shinichi Tsutsumi so I Googled him. I was lucky enough to discover the treasure chest of drama information that is D-Addicts. That started the ball rolling again and I've been a j-drama addict ever since.

I haven't gone back to k-dramas in a while, they tend to be a little too dramatic for my liking.

mier85 · Post by **mier85** » Jun 25th, '08, 05:40

First K-Drama I've watched was Attic cat,
and first J-Drama was "Forbidden Love"

Ever since I am into both, Japanese & Korean drama~~

And thanks to d-addicts, I can keep up that hobby ^^

Ruka707 · Post by **Ruka707** » Jun 25th, '08, 18:36

The first J-Drama in my life was Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon.
I loved the anime, and I was curious. Well, it was a bit strange for me at first

pn0yb0i · Post by **pn0yb0i** » Jun 26th, '08, 05:42

My very first was Trick (Season) followed by Densha Otoko, and Akiba@Deep (TV-Nihon fansubs).

[Tokusatsu doesn't count as a "Drama" but its on the firsts list]

After that was Gokusen Season 1 (and all the other SARS realeases)...

missyu76 · Post by **missyu76** » Jun 26th, '08, 06:06

My first drama I ever watched was the Japanese drama "1 Litre of tears." Then my first Korean drama was "Beautiful Days" and my first Taiwanese drama I ever watched was "It Started with a Kiss." Even though I have seen many more dramas after that, those three hold a special place in my heart. Especially 1 Litre of Tears!

I've actually already replied in this thread, but then I remembered this Asian tv-series I used to watch years ago. So I started fiercely to google it, and I finally found out what it was. It was a HKdrama Wind and Cloud. I totally had the hots for Cloud, Peter Ho. It was a totally crappy program, but strangely addictive.

Sarah Marie · Post by **Sarah Marie** » Jul 30th, '08, 19:42

The first one I ever watched was Hanjuku Tamago, which is one that no one ever seems to carry and most people don't seem to know it even exists. It had a young Tomosaka Rie on it, and a young Uchida Yuki. I really liked the series and wish it had been put out on DVD.

chack · Post by **chack** » Aug 2nd, '08, 21:40

I believe it was, Hana Yori Dango... online that is.
Offline, it was Glass Slippers/Autumn Tale? [=

Don't quite remember but I think it was madam of white snake the old version. I don't remember my first Kdrama, could it be autume tales?

ikbenlief · Post by **ikbenlief** » Aug 7th, '08, 19:30

The first time I watched Kdramas is quite "recently"... that is Goong (aka Princess Hours). I had read the manwha and I was curious about the live action version... and I loved it.

marnnoi · Post by **marnnoi** » Aug 9th, '08, 21:19

It was Coffee Prince. It was the first time that I really intently watched Kdrama, and becoz of it I started watching Drama (but Jdrama instead, hahaha)
For Coffee Prince was also the first drama that I watched it non-stop, from 8 pm until 2 pm of the next day, w/o skipping any shot (some shots were re-watched)
I was quite impress to this Kdrama

For me it was:

Kdrama: Hotelier (so much better then the Japanese version though the hotel in the Jdrama is one I'd actually love to stay in...)
Kmovie: I can't remember what it was, so it probably wasn't that interesting...
Jdrama: Gokusen...but I happen to be one of the few who like Gokusen 2 better then the first.
Jmovie: The Returner which I liked before I even started watching any other kind of Asian drama or movie.
Twdrama: Romantic Princess
Twmovie: I haven't watched any...

nikkibell84 · Post by **nikkibell84** » Feb 7th, '09, 18:57

I can't actually remember which was first, so -

Nobuta wo Produce (jdrama). I watched it a couple of seasons after it came out. I don't even remember why I watched it, but I just did. I really love it to this day. And after watching it, I searched for series that the three leads had been in, and it snowballed from there. I now watch at least three-five dramas a season.

Full House (kdrama). Again, have no idea why I watched it. I watched it either before or right after NwP - can't really remember. I do remember liking it a the time. Of course, now that I think about it. . .

It wasn't as great as I thought it was. Good, but not great.

After that, I started watching more kdramas and twdramas and was surprised to find that both countries really enjoy 'formula' dramas.
