Congratulations on your fifth anniversary. My little sis brought me into the darkside of Kdramas. :) through Full House.
Thank you so much for your hard work. Happy new year

AUTUMN IN MY HEART omgosh, I feel like an old'un. Compared to dramas nowadays, this drama can look like a total mess of overused cliches, with the siblings reversal, dying sickness, and one-dimensional second-lead bitch, but this drama deserves praise and commemoration for helping the Hallyu Wave grow. Won Bin had me wrapped around his pretty little finger like he did with so many other woman viewers, and Jun Soo's love for Eun Soo made all of us wish we had a boyfriend like him.

And Moon Guen Young, HOW HAVE YOU GROWN. eeeee she's a beautiful example of a child-star grown up right!

Mine was Boys Over Flowers, like many, though surprisingly it was not Lee Min Ho that won me over...rather the secondary romance between Kim Bum and Kim So Eun. They had the best chemistry on the show. My addiction began to watch episodes merely for them, my interest actually started growing for the rest of the show and I found myself rewatching episodes all the time! Though, I must say the soundtrack became rather obnoxious by episode 5.

Congrats!

My Name is Kim Sam Soon, even though it was probably the 6th kdrama i stumbled upon but it was one that got me hooked on koream rom-com and convinced me there's no other industry that does it better and no other recappers explains them better =D

I was a Jdorama addict before I saw my first Korean show, but they quickly won me over. The first one I remember falling head over heels for was 'Tree of Heaven' with Lee Wan and Park Shin Hye. Looking back I wince a bit at the overdramatic-ness and cliched plotlines of it all, but at the time I was addicted and it was the first time I was introduced to a hint of high-emotion makjang. Still holds a place in my heart though!

Congratulations Dramabeans! Thank you for the great recaps!

What really sealed the deal for me was Coffee Prince. To be honest, you couldn't pay me before to watch a drama.

Coffee Prince was the first time I watched a drama from 8am on a Sunday all the way to 6am on a Monday. I went to work without sleep. I felt like my body and my mind were not quite connected but hey, I felt really, really good. Does it should like I'm on drugs?

Well, its been like that ever since. I don't like all kdramas and mind you I still won't watch dramas that's depressing (lets not count Winter Sonata because Bae Yoon Jun was there I really didn't need any plot to enjoy the view) but its been a great source of downtime and entertainment for me.

well my first drama was playful kiss but i would have to say my princess got me hook and after that i have been watching a lot of dramas. Happy Anniversary!!

My Lovely Kim Sam Soon
this was one the first asian drama that was broadcast in my country and it made me drama addicted.This drama has the right balance of comedy, drama and romance.Honestly, the ending is not really a fairy tale happy ever after ending but is a realistic one yet still a happy one. To summarize, I really enjoyed this because it is grounded in reality.
:D

Full House yo!

Congrats on your 5th anniversary!!!

For me it's endless love aka autumn in my heart...don't know, i'm such a sucker for tearjerkers dramas. this drama paved the way for me to really go to the dark side.
what more can you ask for, it only stars 3 of the hottest hallyu stars of this generation: song seung hun, song hye kyo and the one and only ajusshi won bin..BTW will it be nice for a drama reunion for this 3....please drama God hear my plea.
it also includes one of all time fave settling in its ost...

to all the admins of this website..keep it up...fighting!!!!!

I've been watching dramas for years before I found my first drama love. And surprise surprise! It's You're Beautiful.

Drama watching has never been the same after YAB. Oh my, I remember camping at YAB soompi forum for updates and news. I check/refresh your site every minute hoping that the recap was already up.

My love for YAB was crazy. It turned me into a crazy fan lol!

I'm pretty sure, like many others, it was Boys Over Flowers. Never looked back after that.

The very first drama that I fell in love with would be Hana Yori Dango which is to this day, my favourite drama. The acting, the music, the story -- all of it made this drama one that I close to my heart. It caused me to watch more Jdramas which led to Taiwanese dramas and eventually, I found myself watching Kdramas.

My first drama that drove me to Kdramaland is All About Eve about 10 years ago. I curse Yoon Mi, I adore Sun Mi, no.. wait. Because it was dubbed in Chinesse, their name is Yin Mei and Sia mei.

And after that, my prince charming has a face. It's Jang Dong Gun, my first and forever crush.

Even after I got married and he got married too. That's a real life.

But In K drama land, I'm still a girl with a heart belongs to him. :)

Back in 2001, when a friend of mine told me that she loved "All About Eve" and she dreamt of the male lead actor almost every night, I laughed at her so hard and kept telling her she was so crazy, little I knew that I was and still am hundred times more crazier than her. "All About Eve" was my first Korean drama and I felt in love with it uncontrollably. I can't remember how many times I watched it... (8 times probably). Jang Dong Gun's character was the most perfect man ever on earth. Even though until now I have watched a lot of dramas which are better than AAE, but it will forever have a special place in my heart and JDG will forever be my biggest Korean crush. :D

I've watched a lot of dramas through my years but the first drama that had me addicted, and actually gotten me to search for more, was the 2009 Taiwanese drama Autumn's Concerto, also known as, Next Stop, Happiness!

It was a romance drama, with a dash of humor, pinch of cuteness and an eye candy lawyer. The lovely soundtrack was used perfectly, coming in at the right time.

The actors and actresses were great to watch. After watching the drama I just had to find more, and thus broaden my horizons to the KDramas. It's a drama I come back and marathon through when there is nothing peaking my interest.

~Maister~

My first love, and the one that made me search for recaps and find this site, was Coffee Prince. I guess a pretty popular answer around here lol. After that I adored YEH, the voice, and Gong Yoo so much that I started branching out and watching everything each of them had been in.

BOYS OVER FLOWERS WITH LEE MIN HO!!!

It was that Dec cold holidays when I fell in love with K-drama and the hell was just about to begin. it was my coffee prince. I still remember the scene of him wooing his grandmother in the first episode that made me squeal and wake my mother up in the middle of night :)

My first will be All about eve... But my greatest love all the time is Coffee Prince.

Autumn in my heart... makes me feel old too =). Especially when I see the type of special effects and music and acting these days, and compare it with that!

I made my non-korean friends (including a boy) addicted to it as well.

My Girlfriend is a Gumiho brought me over to kdrama land :) It was probably the cuteness of Shin Min Ah + the awesome acting by Lee Seung Gi that did it.

My first drama was full house then coffee prince. I was watching full house and coffee prince at the same time but finished full house first because I wanted to see the homewreker put in her place. I know call the thing when the person never shows up when they said they are going to the full house effect. I finish both dramas in just 2 days, that when I knew I was addicted that and when I started to try drawing pictures in my tea because I wasn't allowed to drink coffee.

oh geez, the first of many... All About Eve! omg, i feel sooooooo old! and not just in cat years.

Whoop! Happy Birthday little Dramabeans!

Okay, let's do this: my first crack drama was You're Beautiful two years ago. It was my third kdrama, but the one after which there was no looking back. I've been watching dramas nonstop since then.

My first drama love was definitely You're Beautiful. Not my first korean drama, but it happened to be the perfect mixture of a lovely drama and the perfect time in my life for me to appreciate it. I have been safely on the dark side ever since that finished airing! Congratulations on 5 years of Dramabeans!

My first love was definitely Goong. I watched it after reading the manhwa, and sort of fell in love with everything I saw. Looking back, it wasn't as wonderful as I thought, but it was a hook that led me to watch series like Coffee Prince and Sam Soon which solidified my obsession :)

Jil-Too or Jealousy! That shows my age......

My Drama First Love was Smile, You starring Lee Min Jung. That was such a heart warming family drama and I went back to watch it several more times. The chemistry between the two leads was amazing which added so much more to the drama. I recommend it to everyone!

turning 19 in a few months and if u ask me what i've done with most of my life since i was 12 it would be watching kdramas ahhh the story of me and my love or as my friends call it my obsession/addiction to kdramas and eventually all things Asian began with Full house having been in a country with limited internet access i could not watch this show online! i remember sitting waiting for the tv station to broadcast Full house, i had watched All In and Hotelier prior to Full House but somehow i was more drawn to Full house my reason being "Rain" i fell in love with this guy then a few years later approx 4yrs ago we moved to the US, i discovered Youtube and i thought my life was complete then i went on to discover other sites like dramafever and then my life changed on one hand for the worst, not getting enough sleep, spending homework time watching dramas, on the other hand for the better!, meeting new great friends in school who shared my love of kdramas and kpop and learning Korean and Chinese! i'm bilingual but because of kdramas i'm almost fluent in 2more languages(Korean and Mandarin-Chinese) because of kdramas and twdramas, i can now understand korean and chinese speak a bit of both and write! i could go on and on about the bazillion dramas i've watched and what they've made me do including even starting a club about kpop and dramas at my university! but then my post would be wayyyy long that it already is haha Happy Five Year Anniversay! p.s YUSS five is my lucky number! :D

All About Eve

For me it was My Name is Kim Sam Soon. It's where I first fell in love with Hyun Bin! XD

The first drama that I got hooked on was probably Dae Jang Geum. Although I loved Huh Joon and those old school daily dramas, I was too young to understand what they were really saying. Even with Dae Jang Geum my mom had to explain what was going on most of the time. But the food and the story definitely got me hooked.

My first kdrama I really fell in love with was You're Beautiful. It drew me in like nothing before. I re-watched the drama several times over with my friends. And now I am a huge fan of Jang Geun Suk!

My first k-drama love was Surgeon Bong Dal Hee- that moment when you realize how much he truly loves her... sigh.

Delightful Girl Choon-Hyang all the way

My friend let me borrow her DVD copy and I finished it in 3 days. Can't forget how much i loved Jae Hee and his antics. It explains why I have a special place in my heart for the Hong Sisters and Jae Hee Dramas.

I'm currently watching Color of a Women.....Ahhhh its good to have you back in dramaland Jae Hee. How I've missed you.

Happy anniversary!

My friend recommended Full House so that was my first drama. However, I think I was fully hooked after my second drama, My Girl. Two common gateway dramas that have led to many years of wonderful dramas.

Boys over Flowers... I tried to stay far away from kdramas, but my friend just won't stop bothering me about how good the drama was. The directing was horrible and the plot got so repetitive, but it was just so damn addicting. So, here I am now.... losing sleep because of dramas.

All About Eve. Fell in love ever since then

I was about eight or nine years old when I went on my first trip to China. There, I was able to watch Full House subbed in Chinese. Everyday there would be two or three episodes reruns repeating over and over again. Each day I would turn on the same channel and watch the same episode, hoping and praying that I would be able to stay in China for long enough to see the end of the drama. I never got to see the rest of it until I got back home, researched the drama and finally satisfied my addition. It's been nine years and I still hooked on dramas. >.<

To my eternal shame; Boys Over Flowers.

In my defense, I knew the entire time I was crazy over it that it was a ridiculous over-hysterical mess, but I've only ever really watched sci-fi shows and the like as far as tv goes, and those are almost all episodic. To have something DESIGNED to make you tear your hair out at the end of each episode was potent crack to my nonsensitive brain and I was hooked.

I also found the whole-hearted absurdity of it kind of heart-warming.

Autumn Tale definitely was the beginning of my addiction , what can I say Moon Geun Young's wonderful acting and Seung Song Hun and Won Bin's general gorgeousness sold (definitely was 2nd lead shipping ). I think I finished it in a matter of days during the summer. Also in my search for the drama I found sites that only fueled my drama watching which was great since I didn't have cable during my college days.

But if I were to say what was the first drama I absolutely fell in love with, the first drama I marathoned, then definitely Goong. I kid you not I watched that entire drama in one night durong vacation from school. I started watching it and before I knew it, it was 8am the next day when I finished.

My Girl.

My friend was going through a Lee Junki craze.... xD

My first drama love was 'Autumn Tale.' I was in the 9th grade (first year of high school) and my friend lent me her VHS! I remembered that it was difficult for me to decide who to like more, Song Seung-Heon or Won Bin. :D :D :D

Ok i never win at these things... but i said hey it's a new year let's try new things! right? so the first drama i watched was boys over flowers, i don't remember why i decided to watch a korean drama (since i'm not korean) but i started watching episode 1 and i just couldn't stop, i think i was in episode 5 or 6 when my sister told me to get off the computer because she needed to do homework and had been waiting because she thought i was doing homework she was so pissed when she saw i was watching something and not doing homework...:p
i think i liked boys over flowers because Jan di was so brave and hard working and she sort of helped me deal with things i was going through at the time, one of which was my first job, cleaning tables at a restaurant and that wasn't fun at all!
Right now i prefer lighter dramas like Flower boy ramyun shop! which i'm currently watching and looove!
