Funnily enough i first got into watching dramas here at IF it self , I had just gotten into reading arshi ff and i was reading " consummated" by vanhi , this was back in 2013 and i was in 11th grade when the author mentioned some korean drama that had this very cute couple and the plot was cutetoo, so i watched it and was SO weirded out , I found the language strange ( I thought it was mix between tamil and sindhi or punjabi ) but man was I hooked, i binged watched it the whole night and fell in love ... with everything korean , more importantly with kim hyun joong and jung so-min , the drama was playful kiss. I was sucked into this strange new universe of idol stars, beautiful -gorgeous people, and oppa's (heh) , but my attachment to kdramas runs much deeper than this , before i watched that 1st drama, I was going through a tough phase, I am a naturally shy person but an incident that happened made me retreat into my shell and stop interacting with people , it became harder to make and sustain friends and I forgot how to even hold a conversation, it was hard but then dramas happened and i was able to forget for a few hours all those unpleasant things and laugh and cry @ and along with the characters , I discovered dramabeans and the huge community of fellow kdrama addicts, it was lovely . all the oppa's made me blush and unni's made me root for them , I started with the sillier and cheesier stuff , to the beautiful you, you're beautiful, ma boy( but i LOVE this one) and then slowly transitioned to more matured dramas, queen in hyuns man, my girlfriend is a gumiho, reply 1997,1994,1988, signal, cinderella's sister, you are surrounded , king's 2 hearts , and more recently come back ajussi , DOTS, and sassy go go, and many more , the list can go on and on. there was even a time when i got bored in lectures and wrote letters addressed to oppa( anyone really, but mostly to kim hyun joong) pouring my heart out abt anything and everything ( it was a really silly thing to do , but i was 16 and stupid ) , it gave me a weird sense of comfort at that time ...today I am so used to people catching me read recaps on dramabeans and asking " wow..he's cute, who is he?" or what the heck are you reading? And now...*sigh*. Anyway, that was my story, but how did you guys start watching kdramas? whats your story?
