I've been watching dramas on and off since 2007. My first step into Asian entertainment was the movie Attack of the Pin-Up Boys, starring Super Junior. Soon after, I stumbled upon Coffee Prince and the rest was history. I soon began watching Japanese and Taiwanese dramas after discovering Hana Yori Dango.
I took a quick break between 2011 and 2015 as I became busy with college, but after graduating, I picked up a few here and there until I found myself knee deep into dramas once again starting July 2020. I've since expanded beyond the core three and I literally cannot get enough!
First dramas:
I always love learning about other drama enthusiasts' first dramas. It gives me a sense of their interests and how long their drama journey has been.
The dramas listed below are the first ones I'd completed, followed by the year I had watched them.
- Korea: Coffee Prince in 2007
- Japan: Hana Yori Dango in 2007
- Taiwan: Hana Kimi in 2007
- China: Let's Go Watch The Meteor Shower in 2009
- Philippines: Hello Stranger in 2020
- Thailand: Hormones: The Series in 2015
- Vietnam: Hey! First Love in 2020
NOTES: In my list of dramas, the dramas that do not have any ratings are ones that I had watched so long ago, before I began keeping track of my watches, that I can't remember enough about the show to confidently rate it.
