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 ?

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 ^^;

the first i've ever seen was some chinese martial arts drama when i was about 5 years old. it was a rerun, and was made in the early 1980s. ever since, i've been watching hong kong dramas .
the first jdrama i've ever seen was Shota no sushi. it was dubbed in cantonese.
the first kdrama i've ever seen was hotelier. i never finished watching it, and i've never watched a kdrama since.

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 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...

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!

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. =)

My first Jdrama was Hoshi No kinka ( heaven's coin), the first Kdrama that I watched from the beginning to the end was Prince's First Love ( I highly recommend for anyone who likes the comedy/romantic type of thing ). I really enjoyed those 2 dramas and for Chinese drama I watched so many that I can't even remember what their names are......

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.

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

Hey thats the case with me too! Autumn Tale was my very first K-drama, and then I watched Winter Sonata which got me hooked even more. Now I'm just purely addicted . My mum got addicted after watching Stairway to Heaven hehe, she missed out on so much good k-dramas. But she totally loves Dae Jang Geum~!Jannah wrote:First K-drama I ever watched was Autumn Tale when it was shown on a tv station here 4 years ago. At that time I was still immune to K-drama cliches, and I got so taken in by the story. And the beautiful scenery, great acting & fitting music really got to me as well. So it got me hooked to K-dramas & my craze has lasted till now.

PS: because of the d-addicts my computer did not had a single minute of rest since the last 3 0r 4 weeks...
