My first drama that made me loooove/obsessed with korean dramas was My Girl...the kookiness of Lee Da Hae as Yoo rin and the cool suave Sol Gong Chan by Lee Dong Wook really made me fall in love ;) the humor and romance was balanced really well and to this day its still my favorite K-drama :)

The drama that brought me over to the dark side was incidentally my first drama as well - My Name is Kim Sam Soon. It was amazing, hilarious, and as all good dramas should be, addicting!

I've been watching dramas for all my life. The first Kdrama I fell in love with was Goong. I still remember reading subs at 4 am with reddened, blurry eyes.

Take care of the young lady..I fall in love with Yoon Sang Hyun...and I fall in the dark side, I´m become in a Koreanaddict :)

My first drama was 'Personal taste'. Though I really enjoyed it a lot, what hooked me permanantly was 'My girlfriend is a gumiho'. Both of them are great drama. Now I like 'City Hunter' more though...

I accidentally downloaded an episode of Full House back in 2006, never knew where to find more (everything I searched came up with the American show, bah!). Went through a couple of Japanese dramas before I finally found my back back to Kdramaland, and the rest is history. FH wasn't the best drama ever, but it paved the way for my love of cohabiting romcoms.

I don't know if it's too late to enter...
My first love was Coffee Prince and it definitely brought me to the dark side. I was caught by the great OST and of course Gong Yoo!! Although it's from 2007, I found it exactly 1 year ago and it's still one of my favorite kdramas.
Happy 5th year!!! :D

My first drama crack was Memories of Bali-- twas dark, and satisfying... :D
Jo In Sung was A.MA.ZING.
No plans of going into rehab... :D

I willfully welcomed the eyestrain and tension headaches wrought by a marathon streaming of My Name is Kim Sam Soon online -- then compounded those corporeal minor hurts by further wielding the power of the Internet to purchase the DVDs and watch the complete story twice again in immediate succession. The everyman (everyone, rather) narrative, the not-what-I-was-familiar-with music, the colorful pastries, the credible acting, the not-enough-yet-somehow-just-right length (my introduction to single arced, self-contained K-drama series, after all), mention of Proust, my aching desire to learn and know the Korean part of my heritage, not least of which is language... What a welcome relief dramas and dramabeans have been these past four years!

The Snow Queen (2006), starring Hyun Bin and Sung Yu Ri. I feel instantly for the story line and its characters. This was the start to my love affair with korean dramas!

MARS!!!!!!! my very first Drama Love, was a total accident. I was trying to order the manga from amazon( this was also my first manga!!) and i stumbled across this on youtube. I couldn't believe it! It was beautiful and perfect...i didn't realize at the time what a HUGE thing this was, what i was getting myself into.....it was the best of accidents (:

I have to say YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL. It had a definate charm that other dramas seem to lack. It was fun, witty, and well written with songs that were so touching it even pulled me in on the kpop scene (my love for Hongki was born). The characters were portrayed so well that you couldn't help but fall in love with them and cry as they fell in love and were broken hearted over Go Mi Nam.

My addiction started before (with YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL) but I have to say that CITY HUNTER brought the fire back into it. It was new and interesting and my first action drama, in fact. I was crazy about it. I was hooked from the first piece of rice falling out of Lee Min Ho's mouth (seriously? who is that hot just eating?). Even after it ended I found I had trouble getting it off my mind and letting it go. Withdrawl was horrible.

mine was you're beautiful! one of my friends told me to watch it, and that it was amazing, so I did! and oh my gosh....my world changed after that LOL! I think I finished that drama in 3-4 days. XD. But yeah, it was such a loveable drama, it's wonderful! <3 I was hesitant to start watching dramas since i was into anime, but LOL that got thrown out the window and soon enough, i'm on the dark side alright. the oh so wonderful darkside! :D
and then after that i watched coffee prince and boys over flowers, which ultimately sealed the deal . xD

Err is it too late? If not, my first drama love was You're Beautiful ♥ Strangely enough, my mom was the one who was watching it first... It looked interesting enough so I checked it out and I was instantly hooked. JGS was my first kdrama crush ahaha.

CiTy hunter was my first drama

Ah, my first drama ever was full house; cliche, I know. Though I didn't watch it first intentionally. I was in China a few years ago and was just flipping through channels when I saw a chinese-dubbed version of Full House, and started watching because it had hot guys, LOL. I also saw Si Won on a chinese variety show but didn't connect him to Super Junior for another couple years. The summer after that, in China again, I unintentionally found My Name is Kim Sam Soon airing. I really enjoyed the two, but I didn't start watching Korean dramas for another... 2 years after watching MNKSS? So I'd have to say my intro to korean drama was a good one, though I didn't really, REALLY get into it until my friends started watching kdramas. And now? I'm a rom com addict, haha. Maybe those were all signs of fate. Thanks for being awesome, dramabeans, and happy belated new year! (:

My first k-drama was Winter Sonata. I watched it with my mum and was hooked ever since. It also helped that my mum kept singing the OST everywhere xD

My first drama love was Princess Hours... :D

Congratulations on your milestone anniversary!

My first drama was Stairways to Heaven! My sister and I finished the drama in one week, and 4 kleenex boxes later. :-) We've seen much better dramas since, but STH will always have a dear place in our hearts.

City Hall!

I've been watching kdramas for years but city hall was the one drama that brought me over to the dark side. I guess Cha seung won can do that to a girl.

My first post...although I've been lurking around ever since I discovered samsooki's recaps of city hall here.

Happy aniversary, dramabeans!

Boys Over Flowers was my first drama.

I was introduced to it by my best friend who was Korean, and ever since, I've been watching drama's left, right and center..hahaha ;)

Now after watching many drama's I'm also getting hang of the Korean language too! Just about a month ago, I was walking from my classes from university, and there were two Korean girls talking behind me. I could actually understand their entire conversation!! :D Lol..they probably thought they were the only ones who knew what they were saying..hehehehe

i believe my first drama love was "full house". i remember my friend let me borrow this drama and at that time i didn't know who rain was, and i mentioned to her that he is so not the hero right? hahaha but he grew on me. the drama was so cute and fun to watch!

and congrats on 5 years! this is an awesome website. i come here almost, if not, everyday! cheers!

I'm not original - it was Japanese Boys over Flowers (and it's still my favorite version). But after watching Coffee Prince I had got hooked on Korean Dramas!

I know the contest is over, but I just had to show my love for BOYS OVER FLOWERS! Ever since I watched it this summer, I've been a K-Drama addict!! Thanks Dramabeans for helping me cure my cravings on a daily basis...Happy Birthday!!

My first korean drama was Winter Sonata....and that time make me fall in love with korean drama and absolutely korea. Few months after saw the drama i think i live between reality and fantasy...fantasy of pretty guy " jun sang " (wished that my boyfriend at that time change his hair style like jun sang ^^)...and adore of how cute, naturally beauty of " yoo jin" (after that everyday i got my make up natural ^^) i felt like i live in nami island (its really silly when u saw that so hot & pollution a lot in my city that i live at that time)...but that's it...i love the drama so much, and after that...i started to love korean drama.

My first drama love was ... My delightful girl chunhyang:))) it was def. my first love drama becuz it was around the time i was in elementary school and it def. caused my love for kdrama!!
