My parents have been watching a lot of viet-dubbed dramas over the past several years. I can't recall the first drama I've seen, but the first drama I got into watching was a Chinese drama called Romance in the Rain with some of the cast of Huan Shu Ge Ge in it. First Korean drama was 4 Sisters. I've yet to watch a Japanese drama though.

Shadow Hexagram · Post by **Shadow Hexagram** » Jun 3rd, '07, 21:03

The very first drama I watched was Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon. It was so kitsch and gay that I tried to find other shows like this one. But I honestly hooked up to dramas when a Japanese friend of mine showed me a bad VHS of Ikebukuro West Gate Park.

Either Long Vacation or Virgin Road. Whichever one aired first.

"Can You Celebrate?" was a huge hit, so I think it was Virgin Road.

mazerius1st · Post by **mazerius1st** » Jun 30th, '07, 11:55

I think it was H2. But after that I have watched pretty much all the available J/K/C-dramas that have English subtitles.

Dagorlad · Post by **Dagorlad** » Jul 1st, '07, 10:50

My first drama series was "Sorry, I Love You". the one that got me hooked was "The Secret Lovers", and my 3rd and favorite by far was "Crazy For You".

My first Drama movie was "Mr. Handy", but the first one I saw that totally blew my mind and tore my heart out was "...ing". My favorite drama movie was "A Millionaire's First Love", one of the best movies I have ever seen.

Can someone PLEASE tell me what GTO stands for so I can start watching it?!?!?!?!

'Great Teacher Onizuka' and it's probably the funniest school drama I've seen.

usurpname · Post by **usurpname** » Jul 3rd, '07, 06:22

the live-action GTO after watching most of the anime version.

which reminds me... i never did finish the series... time to start downloading ^_^

devillicious · Post by **devillicious** » Jul 3rd, '07, 20:16

Mine would have to be the Taiwanese Drama, Hana Kimi that I first watched last year or the beginning of this year. I felt kind of stupid at first for deciding to download and watch a live-action Asian Drama since I'm already always getting teased by my family for watching Anime in their original Japanese language (with subtitles, of course) and reading manga. Actually, due to the retardedness of Hana Kimi, I wanted to watch more. It was so funny!

After that I just kept watching and downloading Asian Dramas. I believe that Corner With Love was my second drama that I watched. I then became hooked on Japanese Dramas as well after watching Hana Yori Dango (which happens to be my all time favorite drama!! Inoue Mao is absolutely brilliant!

And that's about it. Thank goodness I never listen to my family or else I wouldn't have watched all of the wonderful dramas on D-Addicts and I wouldn't be completely obsessed!

crescent · Post by **crescent** » Jul 3rd, '07, 20:35

mine was 'Devil beside you'... I discovered it by accident...

but... I got really carried away... I couldn't eat, sleap, study, work etc

haha
I really liked Mike He there... and wanted to know more about asian dramas (I'm from Europe - Estonia!)
so... I drew a conclusion... that dramawiki is wonderful!!!!!
and then I found out more about mike he's dramas etc...
the second.. was Love Contract

and then I saw ariel lin... and then... I discovered 'it started with a kiss'... then I liked joe cheng etc.........
so... at the beginning I thought that only taiwanese dramas were good.. and only taiwan makes so many dramas (out of asia) haha... that's silly

ok... but I saw a bit from Nobuta Wo Produce... and I started liking Yamapi... actually... I started LOVING Yamapi!!! haha... and now... my favourite dramas are j-dramas

haha I've see so many dramas that I can't count them... I don't even remember most of them

... welll... I watched a bit of 'I'm sorry, I love you' but didn't finish... and I thonught k-dramas are not for me... but I'm sure there are genious k-dramas too.. I just haven't discovered them yet.. but I'm watching days and nights.. and we have a whole summer ahead... so... I will definitely going to watch'em!!!

:D and I wanted to say that I LOVE Crunchyroll!!! and.. I love the person who made that site!!.. wow.. haha... again... I wrote a novel:D

cluelessyf · Post by **cluelessyf** » Jul 3rd, '07, 20:51

kdrama-stairways to heaven but didn't get hooked cuz i watchd it w/ my krn fob friends and i'm chinese so i didn't understand much!! full house is wat made me love kdramas

that and kim sam soon and my girl are my favs.

cdrama- meteor garden . meteor garden was soooo goood. well to me. now it seems kinda slow but i really wanted to be the girl in there and be with lei hehehe. i think cdramas aren't the best out of the asian drama genres since they tend to be slow paced w/ long eps and have pretty bad directing/sound effects. but devil beside you 's my favorite and mike he's so hot

jdrama- hana yori dango! i wasn't interested in dorama at all-but since everyone said hana yori dango's good, i gave it a try and finished the first season in like a DAY. it's so gooooood go watch it! better than meteor garden i would say (based on same manga). then after my second drama-nobuta wo produce-i became a huge yamaPi fan

namedx · Post by **namedx** » Jul 7th, '07, 00:49

Autumn Tale was my first ever drama-period. Lol then believe it or not-just when I thought all Kdramas were that melodramatic, I found a link that took me to my first ever Jdrama-SLOW DANCE (lol of all dramas to be found) then I started searching frantically for all other types of Jdoramas having found something that would keep me away from depressing myself ever again with another sob Kdrama, having watched HYD a year after its release, I was rather hyped having watched such a cool Jdorama (having never heard of manga adaptations) after which I got caught into an online debate over which HYD was the better 'version', Taiwanese or Japanese. Soooo this this then led me into researching more into Taiwanese dramas-after which I became addicted to all three types of dramas: Taiwanese, Japanese and Korean-to put it simply, and so my obsession continues having discoved D-addicts alongside thousands of other d-addicts around the globe (hehe no pun intended, honest!)

Lol quite a nice little story don't you think guys, hee hee

PeAce out =)

Funniest thing ever, after that i didnt really watch doramas because of school and stuff, and it was pretty hard to get a hold of back then for us.
BUT lately... Damn that crunchyroll and good speed utorrent. I can never get enough of them! And now because of holidays.

I'm going all out @__@.
