And of course one’s first drama is always included in the topic “What is your Viki story?”, but of course it’s a much more comprehensive topic with longish answers.
If I were moderator here I’d do lots of “spring cleaning” like this, to avoid multiple topics and similar answers several times.
It was Kingdom on ntflx, bc I like post apocalyptic stuff. That then softened my attitude towards reading subtitles (I’m dyslexic), which had been the biggest obstacle for me previously getting into series in a language I don’t speak. After that I think I did Crash landing on you, bc I like North Korean topics etc. Subsequently I couldn’t stop anymore
It was Who are you : school 2015
By chance, all the episodes were available on youtube and it was immediately a thunderbolt of love
I won’t forget this drama of all my life !!
I think it was a adaptation of an anime, probably “Itazura na Kiss”.
I’ve never watched an asian drama 'till then! And when I saw that, I fell in love with the protagonist.
I became such a crazy fan of the series that I watched all Japanese Versions and the original version, no matter how old it is, is my favorite till today. I still have other international versions of Itazura Na Kiss in my watchlist. Currently watching Taiwanese Version but is on hold for a few months now.
My mom used to watch some historical kdramas on local channels. But the first kdrama that I watched is “Secret Garden” in the beginning of 2016 I guess. OMG it has been 5 years already.
My very first Kdrama was “Crash Landing on You” I initially refused to watch it because of the subtitles. I am so glad my friend convinced me. I have now since July 2020 watched in upwards of 50 dramas including two T-dramas and a C-drama. Totally hooked. My #1 is Guardian the Lonely and Great God! Currently watching “I Am Not a Robot”
My very first k-drama was Hwarang. It’s definitely not my favorite but I enjoyed it enough to watch more. I liked it more when I was watching it but then I found To the Beautiful You and that changed my love for k-dramas completely.
My first k-drama was Strong Woman Do Bong Soon. My sister was watching it and I decided to sit in with her and see how it was and I ended up loving it.
