First (ever) Tdrama: Meteor Garden. Never gotten around to finishing it (too busy at school) (199?)
First Jdrama: Yamato Nadeshiko Shinchi Henge -this was just last year, and I got attracted because of the anime version . (2011)
First kdrama: Queen Seondeok (2010)
My mother is a total Kdrama junkie and compared to her, I don't even come close to what she religiously follow week after week. lol Hers probably started with Jewel in the Palace (she loves saeguk). And she got me into watching Queen Seondeok. (I got addicted to this to the point that I'd marathon the episodes as soon as I got home from work and during weekends.)
Of course, there were lots others before QSD. My Name is Kim Sam Soon, Boys Over Flowers, Goong, My Girl, Winter Sonata, Autumn in my Heart, Full House, etc., but I never got hooked! Until recently, Playful Kiss came along and then BOOM! That led me to BOF, Personal Taste, Goong, Coffee Prince, He's Beautiful and to so many other dramas that I gleefully pulled all-nighters on through dramacrazy.
From Kim Hyun Joong, I backtracked and googled a long string of Korean actor and actress that picked up my interest: Lee Min Ho, Yoon Eun Hye, Park Shin Hye, Jang Geun Seuk, Kang Ji Hwan, Gong Yoo, Kwon Sang Woo, Kim Rae Won, Song Joongki, Kim Soo Hyun, Lee Min Ho (1993), Jung Il Woo, Lee Yo Won, Lee Dong Wook, Kim Sun Ah, Cha Seung Won and to so many other talented actors and actresses in Kdramaland.
Music-wise, I started to listen to SS501 then more to Heo Young Saeng, and then my interest eventually branched out to DBSK, 2ne1, IU, T-ara, and to lots others in Kpop. Just about the same time I was getting hooked on dramas I also discovered Sungha Jung is Korean. (will wonders never cease!) :D
Omoni, this was longer that what I had expected. :p
