Mine was Sassy girl Chun-hyang, oh Jae Hee!!how you made my heart ache when you cry!

and all those facial expression..how can I resist and not stumble and fall on my knees with k-drama lovee?how?!

The first k-drama I saw and fell head over heels for was when I watched Full House in 2007. Thus, the addiction begun. And it couldn't be at a bad time since I was taking summer courses. But dang, it was all worth it. And of course, I got addicted to the Full House OST too. The soundtrack helped afterwards when I finished Full House. I was so obsessed with Rain and Song Hye Gyo that I watched their other dramas as well.

Stairway to heaven = my first drama love
such a sweet and touching drama with superb acting :D

Congratulations on your 5th anniversary!

I stumbled upon your website quite late actually! It was earlier this year around the time you started summarizing Miss Ripley among others, and I've been visiting everyday since then! Thank you for your hard work! :>

I think it was by the end of 2008 that I discovered Asian dramas. I became so addicted to it that I haven't really watched a lot of 'TV' for 2-3 years now.

My memory is a little fuzzy, but my first drama that got me hooked was either Romantic Princess or Smiling Pasta! Both Tw-Dramas! I watched them quite simultaneously I think.
It was the start of the transfer into the dark side. Since it all was so new to me, it didn't take long until I was completely hooked, because I hadn't experienced the excitement of finding something completely new for quite some time.

I still remember how I would sit up late everyday until my eyes were bleeding, only to watch dramas, because it was so exciting and heart fluttering~! Something I think we all can relate to!

I never realized I was such a sucker for romance until that year.

My first love was Fashion 70s. I had watched dramas before this but I loved this especially since I loved the ost that FTTS sang ㅠㅠ That was the good times.

My first drama love - was Hana Yori Dango. Watched this when I was fifteen and fell in love with the triangle and the story. Admittedly though this was also my first asian drama and having watched that it spurned on my drama obssession :) I don't think I gave Korean dramas a go until a year later and one of my all time favourite Korean dramas has to be Dal Ja's Spring - loved loved loved Lee Min Ki! <3

The drama that brought me to the dark side?
Full House! Then that evolved into so many others!

Question: What was your Drama First Love? Tell us about the first drama you fell in love with, that brought you over to the dark side. Don’t forget to leave a valid email address so we can contact you if you win.

First drama I've watched was Full House, but I didn't fall in love with it madly. I think the one that caused me to discover my taste and whatnot is Truth with Ryu Shi Won and Choi Ji Woo. I loved how well written it was and although predictable, the episodes kept me gripped from one episode to another. Full House, although a first drama and a good one, I didn't like how second leads didn't end up with anyone.

My first kdrama i watched was "I really really like you". i came across it totally random, just watching clips on youtube a few years ago, I saw the most adorable scene from it in a mix with a bunch of other ones. And well... I kind of just hunted it down. It was suprisingly hard to find from what I remember... I'd been a fan of japanese dramas for a while at the time, so I suppose the transition was kind of expected from what I've read of the previous comments. Anyways, after that it was like BOOM! and I was pretty much hooked.

And Congratulations to 5 years on the site :D

My first drama love was definitely My Name is Kim Sam Soon way back when it first came out, gahh one episode and I was hooked, been stuck in dramaland in the years since. Hands down one of, if not the, best dramas I've ever seen. It just felt so genuine, and just really resonated with me. God I laughed and cried way too much watching that show, seriously way too emotionally attached/invested, but I still love it nonetheless. To this day I still wish I could be as amazing as Samsoon, still need to find my own Samshik though :)

Omg i still remember i was like in kindergarten and i was like coming home from school wanting to watch daejangeum haha i was a kdrama lover from a young age :) i always got mad at my parents if they watched it before I could. I think thats wat started my infinite love for dramas. After daejangeum full house and stairway to heaven further feuled the fire of my growing obsession

My very first drama was Winter Sonata! Looking back, I honestly don't know what I saw in that one (HA!) but somehow Choi Ji-woo and Bae Yong-joon sucked me in and made an addict of me. From there I hopped to My Girl, which solidified my addiction and dragged me further into drama land. I have to say my first true love was My Girl but I think my number one has switched. A few times. Depends on when you ask me because it never seems to stay the same. At the moment, My Girlfriend is a Gumiho. Or Best Love. It's a tie.

Goong for me! I know it was a bit draggy in the middle but I loved it and couldn't bear to miss even one episode. After Goong, I craved K-drama so much it hurt my head watching them without subs. Hehehe!

Propose, starring Kim Hee Sun & Ryu Si Won

Won Bin also had a role as the next-door hottie :)

It was my first drama, and I was totally hooked from the beginning! I rewatched it recently, and it was still as fun as I remembered it. It was a good first love <3

Unfortunately I do not know my first K-Drama. Seems it doesn't had a big impact. But the first one I remember beeing addicted to was All about Eve.

P.S. I feel so ancient :P.

My Girl! I loved her quirky character and the chemistry that the 2 leads had. I've been an avid Kdrama watcher since.

Mine was Stairway to Heaven. Kwon Sang-woo pioneered the frustrated chaebol shirtless shower scenes, and I still would like to thank him and the drama writers for that. It kind of also had all the drama cliches pulled into one drama so it really help summarize drama conventions very nicely. Not my fav, but definitely addicting, and I wanted moar! haha.

my kdrama 1st love is All about Eve.

Jang Dong Gun! Chae Rim! Kim So Yeon!

From then on, it's been a downwards spiral into kdramas... *sheepish*

Mine was Coffee Prince!! Before that I never really understood why people were so addicted to Korean melodramatic tearjerkers and steered faaar from them, adamant that I'd never join the dark side.

On a whim one day I decided to watch Coffee Prince, completely unaware of its popularity. I just picked it up because it had the word 'coffee' in it. Hee. Aaaand the rest is history. :)

First official k-drama: Autumn Love

First love for k-drama: Full House, I poured over this drama thousands and thousands of times, cliche gimmicks, contractual marriages and what not. But one of the first to bring me over to the dark side, though not officially. I first introduced into the world of chinese dramas, I started the moment I was born as my mom was an avid drama watcher as well.

it's definitely goong or princess hour that got me started then "stairway to heaven " and the best of them all secret garden . i'm still trying to watch other k-drama that can beat secret garden.

My first k-drama was "all about eve". It was so addicted. Every episodes really got me excited about what would happen to SunMi and YongMi (sorry if I'm wrong about their names). It was well script and well directed too. It was brillian series, even now it still the best broadcast series to me.
I loved this series bcoz it had girlpower,and not so intense glooming our heart with tears every where everytime like the other series on that time, no one got a guarantee-die sentence , specially their act beautifully and rightly.
Until I found Coffee Prince, which is my true love.. ​​​but if you ask about my first love, that would be All About Eve. And I'm still a YongMi fans.. Xixixixi..
Well anyway, Happy New Year!!! Happy ​birthday Dramabeans!!! Keep the spirit!!!! Kamsahamnida... For relieve us from curiousity..^^

Bad Family with Kim Myung Min.
After some bad run-ins with other kdramas, I can honestly say that, if not for this drama, I'd never looked at the kdrama world again....

def hotelier.. my 1st ever korean drama.. anyway,, bae yong joon was adorable there, comparing to what he time has changed him as he is now.. my mom still adores him though..

my lovely kim samsoon. oh god. that drama made me laugh from beginning to end. i even bought the DVD to rewatch. i love, hated and cried with the characters. BEST DRAMA to this day.

my first asian drama would be meteor garden.
but kdramas? my first would be autumn tale. haha. how i love the tragedy.

My first taste of kdrama was when i was 12yr old in 2003 (im young but when u have kids you feel old! lol) and stumble upon "Autumn Fairy Tale" since then i have only seen it once, but every scene still remain in my memories, im sure if i was to watch it again it wont be the same; i want to save this "first love"

Thanks to that i can now enjoy this wonderful, but deadly 'hobby'. To either escape reality for a few minutes or simply to just enjoy a good show. I think this is a 'hobby' ill never get sick off <3

Question: What was your Drama First Love? Tell us about the first drama you fell in love with, that brought you over to the dark side.

Answer:
My first drama was Who Are You. I absolutely fell in love with that show. The show had everything that a drama should have it made me cry, it made me die with laughter. I think the main point for me how the dad was so determined to show his daughter he loved her even though he not in this world anymore and that broke my heart. A big plus for me is that I never got bored watching the show like I do with other dramas. After plus after every episode I want to see the next one, I think I got no sleep because I wanted to see the whole season in one sitting. When I'm trying to bring a friend to the dark side I always tell them this drama would be a great to start and after that you will be obsession.

Mine was Dal Ja's spring. I got hooked to korean media after 200 pounds of beauty which I saw long time before the drama. But my first drama was Dal Ja's spring and it was refreshing.

My first drama love was Winter Sonata. My aunt was watching it for the nth time while we were having a Christmas party in their house. It was my first time to watch a korean show then. It was sooo addicting that even my mom watched it. She's really not into the drama romance type so that says a lot. :)) The talented actors, the creative plot as well as the awesome scenery brought me to the 'dark' side'! I started watching tons of kdramas afterwards :))

Congrats and happy anniversary Dramabeans.

My first drama was Full house. Afterwards I watched My Name is Kim Sam Soon, Sassy Girl Chun Hyang and Attic Cat and was irreversibly hooked.

I have revisited those drama on occasion, and I still think those are my favorites.

started around 2007 - first kdrama watched is full house, hooked on kdrama after watching goong.

my first kdrama love would have to be full house..i first saw it in 2005 at a local TV network and better yet it was dubbed in our language..i fell in love with their problematic bickering relationship and sizzling chemistry of both leads. this lead to my subsequent thirst to hunt the local DVD stores of other interesting kdramas to watch.. and my life has been ruled by asian dramas eversince and 2 years ago i finally stumbled upon thus wonderful website called Dramabeans which served as my source of kdrama info..More Power to u GF and Javabeans!!!...here's my email [email protected]

I originally belonged to the j-drama group so it's a bit fuzzy in my head, but I'm pretty sure my first k-drama love was Goong. I read the plot somewhere -- monarchy! marriage for convenience! -- and couldn't resist trying it out. The rest is, as you say, history. ^^

I'm pretty new to dramas but the drama that got me hooked was Boys over Flowers. I hated it at first, but I had read the manga and loved that, so I gave it a couple of episodes. I had broken up with my long time boyfriend, of five years, and needed something to take my mind off of things. I was pretty much hooked at that point. I ended up finding a new love for the Korean language and culture. I could go on about my drama addiction for hours, and how it started, but I have a drama to watch!

Happy New Year!

I got hooked on Kdramas back in 2002 watching "Friends" with Fukada Kyoko and Won Bin (joint drama project between Japan and Korea). I was a die-hard Jdrama fan since 1996. After watching Won Bin and Lee Dong Gun, I wanted to watch more dramas with them! I finally got my hands on an old VHS copy of Autumn Story (with English subs) through my relatives in Hawaii because I heard Won Bin was in it. It was probably the saddest thing I saw and remember crying buckets. However afterwards I sort of felt refreshed and unstressed after crying so much and realized that it moved me like any other TV show at that time.

I was instantly swept away, but back in those days, it was so difficult to enter the world of Kdrama. I actually had to depend on relatives to video tape (yes, on VHS, remember those?) Kdramas for me in Hawaii because that was the only place where they were often broadcasted with English subtitles. I remember having to wait for them to send the VHS tapes in batches through media mail (which took about 2-4 weeks coming from Hawaii). And sometimes it was really painful when there was a major cliffhanger, tracking problems, damaged or lost tapes in the mail or my relative forgetting to record an episode!

I'm so glad it is much more easier these days for fans to watch Kdramas (or any dramas for that matter)! Also, to this day, I'm still waiting for Won Bin to appear in another drama!

my Korean drama first love was Full House. i like the story and mostly the acting. the story can make me laugh and sometimes cry even mad all by myself, makes me like crazy person. i really love rain acting here and the OST i like it.all song i like it

Sea God - It wasn't exactly my favourite drama, but my parents were watching it when I started high school (not very censored are they) and I would be reading books in the background (though not really, ofc). :) I WAS HOOKED. Then I discovered even more sageuks like Iljimae...and it went on from there <3

First of all,happy 5th anniversary!
I found your website around 2010 and get hooked until now. I'm sorry to be a silent lurker for so long.

I've been an on and off drama junkies for years. Many times real life took me long enough so that I healed from my addiction but then I relapsed.
I don't remember for sure what my first drama is, maybe between TWdrama or Jdrama. My first Kdrama,which I completely watched, is All About Eve. Trying hard to finish Winter Sonata but failed,and not a fan of Endless Love (why there was always a crying scene in every 5 minutes?jezz)

In spite of my long addiction, my first love drama is Boys Over Flowers. I have the DVD set, searching all info related to the drama in the internet, I watched it again when it was aired in my local TV station (and re-watched again when the TV re-run it),I downloaded all the OST and play them for months, even I wrote a fanfic about soeul couple (yup, I was a soeulshipper back then).
That was crazy since I felt like I didn't get enough BoF.

Since then,I've watched many dramas which has much more better quality than BoF but I will always have a soft spot for BoF.

The first k-drama that brought me over to the "dark side" is definitely Boys Over Flowers. Or Boys Before Flowers. The whole experience of watching it was sooo giddying. Its a bit like first crush, in a way. By the way, congratulations on yr 5th anniversary. This site is either entering kindergarden or experiencing middle-age crisis. >.<

XOXO, [email protected]

i think my drama first love would be PRINCESS HOURS (Goong). It's way back 2006 I think. well at the age of 9, i find Joo Ji-hoon INDESCRIBABLY ADORABLE!! Well im not really into dramas as a kid but after seeing him, I started watching the drama. it's really hard back then to convince my mom, but she end up buying me a dvd of Princess Hours. and the drama did not disappoint me. and i think i watched that for 4 or 5 times. and as far as i can remember, the next drama i watched was the snow queen of Hyun bin. and then that's it at the age of fourteen, i think i watched over 20 dramas. and i dont think i'm going to forget Goong. HAHA!!

You're Beautiful :D. My friends started carrying pig-rabbit keychains on their backpack and cellphones and I thought it was weird. Then they peer-pressured me into watching the drama as well.

You're Beautiful made me appreciate the invention of eyeliner. Now, every guy I date must wear eyeliner!

The first K-drama that brought me to the dark side is "My Name is Kim Sam Soon"! Before MNIKSS, I used to scoff at my friends who watch K-drama as I had the impression that they're just full of cliche plots like the birth secret, or one of the main characters has terminal illness etc.

Since then I've been suck into the world of K-dramaland and now I can proudly say that I watch more dramas than any of my friends!

Well, My Girl with Jun Ki..I totally fell in love with him..he was the first and last second lead that i actually love :D
My friend bought DVD with first six episodes and with english subtitles..i didn't understand a thing, what they were saying :D

My Name Is Kim Sam Soon. Still one of the best shows ever! And I'm currently watching it again while waiting for the 2012 new dramas :)
