I started watching the drama in april 2022 just to find why many are talking about it , I started with kdrama 'BOYS OVER FLOWER'  it was pretty good , realised it really connects the emotion with the watcher from then I continued watching it ,  with a period of time I understood my fav genre. and learnt some culture of  korea......      The journey is Sooooo gooood.
