I watched a few dorama when I was in elementary school in Japan, but I can't remember their titles because of lack of interest (Didn't pay too much attention, got bored and stopped watching etc).
The first drama that I clearly remember watching is Japanese dorama: 「Coach」 in 1996. I was still in grade 6, but it really moved me. I was hooked on dorama since then, and I probably won't be watching dorama now if it wasn't for this series.

My first korean drama is Autumn in my heart (a.k.a Autumn Story), My first japanese one is the classic Oshin (that was a good 20 years ago). But I think the weirdest one is Moero Attack, about a bunch of japanese volleyball team with killer spike attack techniques (spinning triple sommersault, kaleidoscopic-splitting volley ball). I wonder if anyone watched it also ?

ahweigor · Post by **ahweigor** » Aug 16th, '05, 19:10

im a newbie to kdramas, but my my korean friend made me d/l my name is kim samsoon and said autumn tale was a must!
since i've only watched 2 kdramas to date, i prefer samsoon only cos the lead girl cracks me up.
my first jdrama was beautiful life...strangely hooked to it even tho i watched it in japanese not understanding a single word.
just as oddly when i watched my first hkdrama dubbed in vietnamese ^^;

azra · Post by **azra** » Aug 17th, '05, 03:58

My first kdrama is Winter Sonata. They run it in my Country but dubbed the whole series in Chinese. But I bought the CDs to hear the original language.
My only jdrama is Son-in-law. About a macho singer but a nerd in reality. So funny.
I prefer kdrama.

My first would be Meteor Garden then Autumn Fairy Tale.
I haven't seen any Jdorama but will get there when time permits.
I wish they would just put out all of them on dvd (w/ English subtitle).
I think downloading is such an incovenience for me but I don't have a choice.
I'm still grateful..
But I feel bad for making fun of my friends and cousins who got me into this.
Now, I would flip California state upside-down just to find dvd's.
Hah! such a hypocrite.

My first drama was Good Luck. I watched all 10 eps over a few days last week. Since then, I watched 2 other complete series, Orange Days and Pride. I'm waiting for more Lunch Queen eps to be uploaded, as I've already watched the first five that are here at D-Addicts.

Moomin · Post by **Moomin** » Aug 29th, '05, 01:46

My first drama was probably Love Generation. Japanese dramas were so popular in Asia years ago (still popular but not as popular as it used to be, I guess) and lots of people bought JDrama VCDs back then. Someone told me part of the reasons why they were so popular was because they had realistic settings (ie. messy rooms). Haha...

My first drama was a Jdrama, Orange Days. My first Kdrama was Full House. That's what hooked me in. Its been about two months since FH. Then I went on to Delightful Girl, Sam Soon I'm Sorry I Love You, and now The Last Dance Is With Me. Can't seem to stop this addiction.

The first kdrama I watched was Bright Girl's Success Story. I downloaded the first 4 episodes off of jtv, and then I got the DVD's. I thought it was cool and cute, and that's what got me into asian dramas in general. Now I've watched tons of them...so much more entertaining than watching some of the stuff that cable has to offer in the US!

orionredwing · Post by **orionredwing** » Sep 6th, '05, 22:10

My first drama that gotted me started was Legend of the Condor Heroes (Golden Edition) back in the 80s! The most recent remake from China is The Legend of the Arching Hero released in 2004 (quite a good remake).

That led to the various sequels in the novels, including The Return of the Condor Heroes (Golden Edition) starring Andy Lau. This was the series with Hsiao Long Nu (Little Dragon Girl). I watched it all in Mandarin, so I'm still getting used to the English names.

I still believe this series was what rocketed Andy Lau's career, cuz he was relatively unknown prior to that.

Ok, that's dating me a bit. =)

The first jdrama I can remember watching was Great Teacher Onizuka.

It was back during my first semester of college. I always kinda wanted to be a teacher but thought it would be stupid. HOWEVER, once I finished GTO, I found a new respect for good teachers.

Strangely enough, that following semester I ended up declaring my major in history education. Weird huh.

Hmm...this is a hard one

I've been watching dramas forever...but mainly Hong Kong dramas...and they were all dubbed in Vietnamese also. So, I'm not sure what would be my very first Chinese drama...so I think I'll pass on that.

I know for sure that my first kdrama was Attic Cat...although I saw the Vietnamese dubbed version. It wasn't the greatest series..but I enjoyed the ending. I've been watching English subbed kdramas now since they are so hard to come by dubbed and I'm thinking I prefer subbed over dubbed now. I drives me crazy when the lips don't sync with the words!!!

My first Tdrama was Love at the Dolphin Bay...and I LOVED it!!

My first Jdrama was GTO. That was almost a year ago. Now I'm a drama otaku..

Before I was only into anime. But after watching GTO I discovered more dramas and the wonderful world that revolves around them. I claim that I am aiding my Japanese language skills while watching... as much as a joke as it sounds, its probably true.. my first Kdrama was Stairway to Heaven. I watched that after watching my first Korean Movie, My Tutor Friend. That was probably all 5 months ago or so. I still like Jdorama more simply because I am an avid Japanese language learner.. but I am always open to good entertainment.

よろしくおねがいします～！

wacko · Post by **wacko** » Sep 17th, '05, 01:24

Great Teacher Onizuka.
That was when I just got into watching anime, and loved the anime of GTO. I stumbled on the drama on a bittorrent tracker I think, got curious and watched it.
Then I got interested in more drama series, and began with Summer Snow. Surprisingly, I got bored with it quickly and stopped watching after a few episodes. After that I didn't watch any drama for a long while, thinking it was too boring, but I left it with a feeling like "hm you know, I won't be surprised if one day I'll be watching dramas again".

So recently in an anime thread on a computers-related forum there was this guy who said "you guys should check out the drama Densha Otoko, it's awesome and funny, you guys will like it too". I thought the synopsis was interesting and it sounded great. He posted a link to d-addicts too, but since almost any type of 'grey' legal activity is taboo there the link got edited out by a moderator. Fortunately I saw the link before that. So I ended up here, with Densha Otoko video raws and fansubs available. I've been following it so obsessively that I once again got interested in dramas, so I had a look around and saw a picture of Delightful Girl Choon-Hyang. It had a great appeal to me or something, I don't know, but I downloaded a few episodes and had a good time. I downloaded the rest and now I'm up to episode 11. I love it.

As we speak, I'm downloading Summer Snow again. Picking up where I left off, I don't know how long ago that was...

I went a bit overboard seeing the purpose of this thread, but I just wanted to have this rant somewhere
