Welcome to Day 1 of the challenge!
I
started watching Asian Dramas in September 2012. The first drama I watched was
Faith (aka The Great Doctor (신의)). You can read the full story on my About page, but
I will give you a little snippet here.
I found Dramas through music. I was
watching the Top 50 K-pop Billboards on Youtube and heard the song “Carry On”by Ali. After a few weeks hearing the song and loving it, I did a little bit of
research thinking that it might be from a movie. Wrong! That is how I found
Faith and when Asian Dramas drafted me into their Army of Obsessed Ones (The
Korean Drama Unit). After Faith ended, I
found myself going through a small (laugh small) withdrawal from Lee Min Ho and
his pretty. I found Boys over Flowers; Again I was hooked. This was also about
the time that I decided that I wanted to learn Korean as I had been listening
to the music for a couple years not understanding what I was listening to.
Also, my husband and I have always talked about adopting from Korea. Learning
Korean became my excuse for my obsession of Korean Dramas. It was “study” time
and still is.
Day 1 complete. Come back tomorrow for Day 2...
Hi! I'm DayDreamer from Dramabeans. Saw your post there about your new blog. I remember my first Asian drama being Coffee Prince but for some reason I hadn't watched it in its entirety nor did it pull me into Asian dramas immediately. It was when I watched Nodame Cantabile (all of it) that I finally got pulled into Asian dramas. Then I went back to Coffee Prince and fell in love with it.
