ok how much do you love the staff spotlights?!?! 💜💜💜the questions are so great! and the whole thing makes me want to know more beanies now…so…what was YOUR first kdrama?
mine was FAITH. i was frequently stuck in bed due to a complicated pregnancy and a friend sent me her dvd of the show. i think i’d only heard of kdramas once before that—i knew literally nothing—but this friend and i like similar stuff so i was happy to try. and i was hooked AT ONCE. i googled everything at first (incl why there wasn’t more kissing 😜), and FAITH has its share of problems, but it was the perfect gateway for me 💕
i feel like Jewel in the Palace keeps coming up in conversations lately, and now i’m starting to think maybe it’s a sign and i should add that to my queue 😊?
It has a very very high production value and very good story and characterizations. But at 52 episodes and with the story-telling style of last decade it might feel too draggy and angsty for those used to today’s miniseries. But I loved it then and still love it today.
Mine was Secret Garden – I initially watched it for the body swapping but that didn’t happen til episode 6 but I stayed for the laughs, the OST and as it was my first kdrama I didn’t get annoyed with the tropes (which I probably would now haha).
secret garden! stumbled upon it through youtube (after watching two taiwanese drama’s), the ost was my jam for a long time, realized that life before kdrama was so one dimensional, it really did enrich me 🙂
I’ve been watching Korean dramas all my life but I think the earliest ones I can remember fondly are The Legend (starring Bae Yong Jun) in 2007 and Princess Hours in 2006. Back then it was hard for me to access K-dramas but now it’s so easy to get them online and I’ve been watching them for a good 10 or so years at least!
