How did you get introduced to K-Drama?
For me it was our flight to NY 2 yrs ago, to spend a 2 weeks vacation, my niece brought her mom's laptop (she's only 11 ),since it was a 5 hrs. flight and I was seated behind her, my eyes got hook with interest . She's watching GOONG, downloaded all 23? episodes. Imagine I am 43 yrs. at that time , every time we get back from sightseeing & tours, my nieces & I we're all hook-up in the screen. My younger siblings thought I'm getting crazy, bec. we go to bed
very late.. Since we came back to LA, at work, everytime I happened to have a Korean patient, I ask about if she knows this &that drama.. One lady patient told me, Im not alone to get addicted to drama, she knows some mature friends and they're hook too. My 24 yr. old daughter enrolled me to the gym, bec. everytime she leaves the house she sees me in my room watching, and come back after a few hours still in my room hook to the computer.
This is what you call drama addict.

My kdrama addiction began several months ago when I heard The Devil OST.I liked it so much that it made me download the drama just to see what's it like.And I loved it .Even now it is still my favorite drama among all I've seen. That's how I got hooked.
Right now I'm researching and downloading older kdramas and I'm trying to keep up with the new ones that are coming out.But it's very difficult because I still have to find time to watch jdramas, twdramas, cdramas...(yeah, I'm an addict )

this is my first post!! i have a lot of korean friends b/c theres a lot of koreans at my school. this girl i know told me to watch full house, i was like "no way, i don't want to read when i'm watching tv" lol. but i secretly watched it anyway and i was hooked. i have seen many more j-dramas b/c theyre easier for me to find, but i'm starting to watch more korean ones now i know where to look. full house still my fav thoug!
[img]Ok so I am a 50+ year old male, living outside of NYC and this is my first post. There we were looking for some decent programming last summer and happened to tune in to High as the Sky. At first it was dificult to follow along and my wife and I would giggle at some of the translations as well as the smacking. We love when people smack each other. When High as the sky ended, we continued to watch Likeable or Not ( I hate you but it's fine) and absolutely love this show too.
One minor complaint is when the show airs in NY. It comes on at 9:20pm (2120) every M-F which gives us a 20 minutes of dead time to either find something quick or tune in to something for 20 half the show. We usually run and take the dog out and prepare some snacks.
All in all, we love the show and find it hard not to view the spoilers, only wish I knew more Korean!!

how I got into K-drama
I love Korean Dramas thanks to my friend Randy...
He let me borrow his "MyGirl" dvd set and that was it...
"Full House" "Goong" "Winter Sonata"....too many to mention!
Tragedy & Heartache are 2 things that make K-Dramas so great!

ok mines weird lollll i was browsing on youtube cause i wanted to see the last episode of full house(american show totally different from the korean one) and thats where i saw full house(korean version)and i was like wat in da world is this lolll so i clicked it but it was the last episode and i liked so i went back and saw the whole thing*...phew that was tiring..*
i found out about korean dramas through this forum i used to post on (cozycot) and decided to try one out -- the first drama i watched was also suggested from that forum and it was 'the vineyard man'. i really liked it at the time and it totally got me hooked on Asian dramas! although I wonder now if I watched that same drama I'd enjoy it as much ... because since then I've watched a lot of better ones ^_^
Actually, I just started liking Korea randomly until one day I though, "Japan has anime, what does Korea have?" then I looked about and found I'm Sorry, I Love You and watched it. I started watching it while I was supposed to be on vacation. It was soo good though, I watched 7 episodes there and then watched the rest when I returned to Canada. Then in about December I started moving toward Taiwanese dramas and now I want to watch more Mainland dramas. Dx

Um, well Meteor Garden isn't Japanese but Taiwanese. And it's one of the worst dramas I've ever seen (no offense, but if that was the first drama I've seen from other culture, I would have avoided them altogether and miss my chance of watching really good dramas. )MattotJake wrote:This is the story...

Well I got into Korean dramas when I got bored of watching Jdoramas from JEM so I downloaded Bright Girl Success Story, then found a link to d-addicts and all is history.
i guess my interest in K-drama and K-entertainment in general fired up when their tv shows started dominating the local tv programs in my country. i thought their simplistic approach to a story is breath of fresh air from all the heavy tv dramas that i have never really been a fan of. my curiosity for K-culture however began even before the k-dramas were popularized in my country. ever since i've gone to korea back in 2003 for a conference, i instantly took a liking of the country and its people. they were generally very pleasant and i really enjoy their spontaneity. the only thing that bums me out is the obvious communication barrier. not all of them can speak or understand english and although it is not necessarily a bad thing, i feel that rather limits the exposure of their vast pool of amazing talent to the rest of the world.

I was surfing one of the message boards that I frequent (it's a private forum for African-American women), and one of the girls my age had a link to her blog in her signature. I clicked it and she had posted an entry about Full House with a link to Crunchyroll.com and also to d-addicts where I found out about Goong, My Girl, etc..
I've been an addict ever since.

Which one was the first of k-drama i ever watched ?
That question was really difficult one for me... I had to ask my lil sis about it and after long thinking and searching we both realized that we were hooked by different k-dramas
Firstly, I watched only jp ant tw dramas and I was happy with that
One day my sister started to watch I'm Sorry I Love You coz someone at Crunchyroll said to her that it's worth watching. I sometimes watched few minutes with her when she complained that subs were incomplete but from my point of view the main girl character was stupid so I didn't like it
BUT! After some time I got tired of this jp and tw love stories and I wanted something with action I've found Time Between Dog and Wolf and the plot was very interesting to me. But after I saw main character pic I though "No way, I won't watch it. It's for sure another drama with handsome boy who don't know how to act..." And I started to watch another tw drama Meanwhile I watched many korean action movies and I really enjoy it. So when after some time I accidentally came across this series again I said "Let's try." And I don't regret it. It's the best drama I've ever watched and Junki is a great actor
So getting to the point I was hooked by Time Between Dog and Wolf
