How did you get addicted to Asian movies/drama/music? Like, how were you first introduced to it? 😊

First off, I used to live next to a korean plaza, so i always used to go there, and thats when i saw a poster of this korean movie (now I know that the poster was for the movie " The Art of Seduction") and I thought the poster was kool... and I had the AZN channel, so once by flipping through the channels, I came across a chinese drama and got addicted to it and from then, I went on youtube and searched for it, but instead I came across the drama 'Loveholic' soo that led me to the whole new world of korean movies/dramas....😃

Why do you like Asian shows?😃

and does your love for Asian shows make you feel that you are different from others? 😊

It makes me feel different but that doesnt really stop me from sharing the korean-ness with all of my relatives and friends; I got my mom hooked onto 'Goong' and my dad onto korean MVs and Lee Jun Ki movies...lol; My Aunts and cousins love 'My Girl'... 😃

Im sooooo happy to get away from the Ekta kapoor shows and hindi songs/channels/movies since in my opinion, its garbage for the brain. 😆

Sorry, i know its alot of questions but i was just wondering...😳

Well for me ...I was bored of hindi (kekta shows) and wanted something more that disjointed episodes of american thriller/detective shows. While surfing channels ,I came to AZN where second episode of rain's famous show "full house " was playing. I got hooked and then rest is history

For Me its KHAIR AND PARITA! ISWAK= It started with Khair [and cont. with parita] Actually Khair tried to convince me to watch these shows but..the kind of hard nut I am..I initially didn't 😆 Then Parita literally forced me to watch ISWAK on youtube's 10 min part. Since then...I am hooked 😛

hmm for me... It all started when a friend of mine asked me and another friend to look up a movie for her.. and we randomly came across "the king and the clown" and watched. let's just say our lee jun ki obsession began right then (he's such a strange character in the king and the clown.. just on the border of being both a girl and a guy.. it was intriguing XD).. i watched my girl... and then full house b/c by then i'd been introduced to rain.. and then i realized that priya was also into this stuff and she forced me to watch goong... sent me a big bang cd... and here i am 😃

My sister and me were getting fed up of our favourite hindi telly actors abandoning their roles and the stories loosing their storylines, then my sis came across a GA about Asian Shows forum and we thought of checking it out. My sister downloaded Goong and we loved it. From that time, we have been hooked to Korean/Chinese/Japanese shows.

For me it started due to frustration with Indian serials. Korean channel KBS is next to ZeeTv Channel. So, accidentally I started to watch it. The first serial was "FULL HOUSE". Just loved it. So far I've seen "second Proposal", "Thank you Life", "Landscape to my Heart", "War of roses", "Rosemary".
I love the definite ending rather than nonsense storyline. I love the realistic storyline, the wonderful realistic acting, beautiful and handsome actors, the exposure to different culture. Just Love it.
