Beanies, do you remember your earliest KDrama with a sci-fi or fantasy bend?
For me it was Queen In-hyun’s Man. (And I’m having a hard time recalling any dramas in that genre before QIHM. Was it the first? What started this trend?)
It doesn’t have to be a time-travel drama. Shows like Pinnochio, Circle, You From Another Star, Memories of Alhambra all count as SFF.
This is for research purposes, so I’d be very grateful for any morsels of wisdom on this!
Thanks guy. <3

    My earliest was MLFAS but it was more of a rom com than a sci fi fantasy. Next came W which was a really interesting medium travel (space travel) if that’s what we can call it. But I didn’t come to like this genre till Circle which did a really good job of handling too many things in one show, someone could learn (ahem, TKEM).

      My second kdrama was 49 Days and the third was My Girlfriend is a Gumiho, I still like them very much, so yes I would recommend them.

      I think MLFAS can be considered fantasy/sci-fi.
      Well, I will consider it anything!!
      It’s on my top ten list.
      How much I missed those two!!

    Is drama like My Girlfriend is a Gumiho and 49 Days also count? I don’t remember which one I watched first, but my very first dip into fantasy genre is between those two titles.

    If W (2016) qualifies then that was my 11th kdrama and earliest SFF.
    In the summer of 2017 I watched JOSEON X-FILES (2010) as a summer rerun and if that qualifies that would be my second SFF.

    Rooftop Prince for me. I think it was the third or fourth drama I watched. Shortly after I watched Faith.
    So, those two.

    Faith and Secret Garden were among the first dramas I’ve watched and they both have supernatural elements. I think the oldest drama I’ve seen with supernatural elements is Soulmate. (It’s also my favorite drama.)

    Faith was probably my first.
    And sci/fantasy has provide a ton of my favorites. QIHM, YFAS, Signal, Splash Splash Love, Bring It On Ghost & Master’s Sun are all firmly in my top 10, and I even enjoyed W, Alhambra & HdL more than is entirely respectable around here 🙂

    Secret Garden! My girlfriend is a gumiho.

    Those are both more fantasy than scifi though i guess.

    As for time travel… QIHM and Dr Jin but we dont talk about Dr Jin
