Introduce yourself :)

I joined viki years ago, but I didn’t introduce myself till now. I used to use viki as a source to get information about specific dramas. My name is Sally, but I prefer to be called either Sal or Derpy. I can’t read Chinese, but I speak it. I am an asian-american child. I’m majoring in Business Management or General Business for a matter of fact, I’m also learning public speaking, because as a person, I’m an introvert. My first drama was a really old Cantonese show, I don’t really remember the name, since I was about 5 or 6 years old at that time, but the only thing I recall is that it’s a historical drama.

My favorite colors are all colors in the world, especially Black. I find it a very mysterious color. It could mean hell or could mean the opposite of darkness. I also do quality checking as a manga scanlation non-profit groupie, I really enjoy doing things that makes people smiles or have fun watching the shows, despite it may or may not be accurate. But you know, it’s worth something. I love photoshop. I like making things or watch people make things. I also enjoy PC gaming, not an average girl but I really enjoy games. Tactics, skills, level, monsters, train, and so on.

I come from a family of 5 which includes myself. I have a mother who speaks both Chinese languages, but is fluent in Mandarin more than Cantonese, she cannot speak English very well. So she has a very fob accent when she tries to speak English, it’s funny, but she knows that it’s a joke when I laugh at her. My mom has a broken spine, so she can barely reach/bend over. I have a father who speaks both Chinese languages, but is fluent in Cantonese more than Mandarin, same as my mother, he can barely speaks English but he knows a few Spanish. My parents came to America about 20+ years ago, way before I was born. I was supposed to have another brother before my older brother, but my mom had to do an abortion because she couldn’t enter the US with an unborn child. My father enter the US 4 months before my mother and her first child (older brother) did. He worked in construction fields and restaurant cooks. But since my mother at that time was pregnant, she couldn’t come to the US so my older brother went with our relatives. He was raised in their family for a long time even after my mother finally came into the US but sadly my unborn brother has to die. Airports back then cost a lot of money and there wasn’t as many airports as it is today, so instead of using airplanes, my parents, brother, and relatives road on boats/ships instead. I have a older brother, he did everything for the family from translation to bills to EVERYTHING. He’s fluent in both Cantonese and Mandarin, as well as English. His major was Computer Technician, but he recently about a year ago, started studying again to pursue another dream. Because in Texas, we’re most known for a lot of Computer Technician or Artist, so he can’t really get a job since a ton of people work as that specific major. Then few years later, I was born. I was the only baby to last seen my grandpa from my dad side alive. But out of all the family members from both side, the only person that love me was my father, my older brother, and my dad’s younger sister. Everyone else gave me a bad luck feel, like I’ll bring bad luck to the family. As soon as I was born, I was diagnosed with Asthma. I couldn’t breath and when I try breath, I’ll faint. After my younger brother was born 2 years later, everyone was happy with joy that goodluck charm has emerged. Oh, before I continue, I do believe is spiritual things, so don’t call me crazy when I start to explain these situations. There’s this one situation where my family excluding my older brother had an major car accident. The backseat of the car had no seat belts, we had to use ropes. The car spinned, I flew out of my seat and almost crack my head open. I was bleeding really badly, I was told that I stopped breathing for about 10 minutes. Pretty much, I kind of died for 10 minutes, so hence the part of me being Bad Luck. My mother injured her right leg, my father injured his left arm, and while my younger brother wonderfully injured nothing. The accident was another drunk driver hit into our car, but it was on the side where my brother sat. Instead of the window going inwards by the impact force from the outside, it broke the other way, so there were no window-pane or any glass toward my brother. He was prefect fine, the only pain he had was a temporary sore/injured neck. It wasn’t major like needing a cast or anything; hence why he’s known for Good Luck.

You can pretty much till what happens afterwards with the good and bad luck between the my younger brother and I. So this all pretty much about me and my life. So, nice to meet you all, if I said something weird, this is the reason why.

Hello, my name is Michelle. I’m an American currently living in Louisiana. Although, I have lived all over the U.S. because I am a NAVY Brat. Of course English is my native tongue, but I’m trying to learn Korean. I do speak a little Spanish, which I learned in high school.
I got hooked on K-dramas through Netflix. I started watching My love, Eundong and it was excellent. From then on I was hooked. I’m currently in love with Jealousy Incarnate, it is a great show.

It’s so nice to meet all of you and I hope we can keep the conversation going.

Hi! I’m Deborah and I was born in Brazil (I love my country <3). The eastern culture helped me better understand the world and people and motivated me to learn japanese and english. Bye 0/

Hi!

I’m Nikos and I’m from Greece. Thought of giving K-Drama “a try” a few months back and well… we all know what happened next… :slight_smile: Currently looking to help translating subs from English to Greek on some of the dramas I’ve watched so far but team managers/language mods kind of ignore me for now… :stuck_out_tongue:

Hello. Welcome to Viki community! ^^ Well, maybe they aren’t active anymore or perhaps they are busy or on a trip… you can’t say they are ignoring you, wait :slight_smile:. But if you want to help translate something else, try to contact @irmar :slight_smile:

Sent you a p.m.
Your best chance is to become a QC as quickly as possible. My own projects right now are all for QC so if you are not you cannot even watch those videos, let alone translate them.
Either by translating classic films where Channel Manager is viki, or you see mahoula’s list of untranslated dramas, in case some of them do not require QC and you can get some experience from there.

Hi eveyone!
My name is Gioia and I’m from Italy.
I’m a real newbie, as I watched my first Japanese comedy (Good Morning Call, thanks to Netflix… I didn’t know Viki existence yet) just a couple of weeks ago. I liked it so much that I started searching for Korean dramas too (always read and heard rave reviews about them but never watched them myself), luckily I found VIKI and… here I am! I watched Playful Kiss and am now about to end Fated to Love You, which by the way I’m really, REALLY loving. Jang Huyk and Jang Nara are simply amazing.:grin:

Ciao Gioia!
Are you interested in translating?
As for your next drama, if I can suggest one, please watch Secret Garden, My Love from Another star, Oh My Ghostess, Rooftop Prince, and if you are over 20, you will also like Pinocchio, It’s OK that’s love, Madame Antoine.

Un abbraccio

Irene

Grazie mille Irene!
Yes, I’m way over 20… 36, actually! :smiley: Hence, your suggestions for dramas a little bit more “adult” are very much welcome!
Sure, if I can help with translations from English to Italian I will be glad to do that in my spare time. :slight_smile:

You should definitely watch falling for innocence next. You’ll love Jung Kyung Ho! (It’s also on netflix as the title “Beating Again”)

Thanks chemelle_51! Unfortunately Falling for innocence is not available on Netflix in my country :frowning: Is it on Viki?
I was thinking about opening an actual thread where I ask for suggestions according to my tastes, do you think it would be ok?
