Before
I found K-Pop I discover K-Dramas. I watched my first drama back in 2006. It
was called Infamous Chill Sisters or Famous Princesses. I actually didn’t watch
this drama from the beginning. I came into it somewhere in the middle and I fell
in love with it right away. There was just something about the drama that had
me hooked from the beginning. When “Infamous Chill Sisters” ended I started to
watch the next drama that came on. I think it was called “Blissful Women” but I
didn’t get a chance to finish it.
I
went to college in September of 2007 and forgot about K-Dramas. Due to
unexpected circumstances it took me a few extra years to graduate college
rather then the regular four. But my senior year I had a suitemate who was
Korean but lived in Japan. Having Sunny in my suite just made my year. Because of
her I fell a little bit more in love with all things Korean. She had these cute
pig magnets that also could be used as tacks. I would have stolen then from her
if I could have gotten away with it. I went to a religious school that didn’t
allow any movies and all music had to be approved. Very strict school but I
received a great education.
So
when I came home for Christmas I found K-Dramas on Netflix.com. The first drama
I watched after my dry spell was Boys Over Flowers. I loved it and because of
Kim Hyun Joong I came across Playful Kiss. I loved both of them and even made
my mom watch them. She enjoyed them and together we watched Secret Garden, City
Hunter and My Girlfriend is a Gumiho. Netflix has a limited selection of dramas
and a few of them did not have subtitles. But I know they have added a few more
to their list recently.
Growing
up I never watched all of the popular TV shows like One Tree Hill, Dawson's
Creek or anything like that. The only series I watch was Veronica Mars. I
actually own all three seasons and I am waiting for the movie to come out. But
all American TV shows are filled with sex, backstabbing and lies. I know some
K-Dramas contain the same thing but not like the American dramas do. Well that
is my opinion at least. But where American dramas are dirty, Korean dramas are
clean. I’m sure there are K-Dramas that are dirty, but I’m sure there are
American dramas that are clean. But there was something about K-Dramas that
drew me into their world. Very few dramas go beyond one season but it keeps you
wanting more.
I
came across dramafever.com while I was looking for Infamous Chill Sisters. Just
an FYI Infamous Chill Sisters is nowhere to be found on the Internet. Which is
sad for me since I can’t watch it from the beginning. But dramafever opened up
a whole new world full of dramas. Then I found viki.com and that had some dramas
that dramafever.com didn’t have. I can name a few dramas I have watched from
the two websites: You’re Beautiful, Good Doctor and Vampire Prosecutor. I’ve
watched a few more dramas but I can’t think of anymore. I have around forty
dramas on my to watch list. But currently I am watching Rooftop Prince and
Vampire Prosecutor 2.
The
world of K-Dramas also introduced me to the world of Korean variety shows. But
this is a different topic.
