Well let's see...
I started blogging my K-drama obsession (with various cohorts) and made recaps here and there. I fangirled often, and enjoyed it to the utmost extent. I made my readers laugh and brightened their days with all things K-drama.

No, I'm kidding. In the name of K-dramas, I've recently given up my social life. ._.

BUT IT'S WORTH IT, DANGIT.

Ha! I was just thinking kimchi when I read it on the post...kind of sad... Yes, now I make my sister make kimchi (she's better at it ^^) and love it! My parents call it the poopy-smelling food. LOL. They don't like it. Besides kimchi, spicy rice cakes have become a familiar meal...there's even been a few failed attempts at trying to make rice cake from scratch....

On a comedic note, I've started to parody drama scenes in real life situations: "well...what should/could/will happen in this scenario" - kinda of thing, total drama style and exaggeratively hilarious!

*exaggeratively=on the exaggerate/dramatic side...yes, it is a word in my world now.

oh!! and "skinship"! I find myself thinking that even when I am watching American movies: "ooh...some skinship eh"

Hmm let's see...
Obsessively washing my face (they are serious about skincare in Dramas)
Eating ramen about three times a week (adding all kinds of interesting ingredients to it...thanks FBRS!)
Checking out asian guys (FYI they all don't look like Lee Min Ho)
Craving rice (they make it look so damned good)
Wondering if the guy I loathe is really my soulmate :)
Wanting to take public transportation, only to realize that I live in the city and most of the buses reek of piss.

Watching korean drama has a big influence in my way of life. I started my mornings with opening the dramabeans website, & looking for the new episodes of my favorite Kdrama at the moment at different websites. I started looking for kimchi in the supermarket & it has become a favorite in our home, even my husband like it. I am always making eggrolls in breakfast for my kid, bought korean-english dictionary, I've learned how to cook chapchae & it was a hit when I served it on my birthday. I even shop in a korean grocery store near my place just to buy ingredients for bibimbap, which is my favorite. I even named my husband's number on my phone, Yeobo.

its been a little more than a year that i started watching korean dramaz. now i can watch the dramaz without eng subtitles if only to understand the context of whats goin on and i was introduced to kpop via korean dramaz as well

With K-dramas.....it's all about the hair. Whether it be manes of glory, bizarre perms to make a gorgeous actress look dishevelled, or simply just slick idol 'dos; K-dramas are crazy about hair. So, like every other K-drama viewer, you can't help but just watch and admire the pretty. And then maybe try it for yourself.

For me it started with Playful Kiss' Oh Ha Ni and her adorable hairstyles. I've always been the 5-second ponytail type of girl, but after watching Ha Ni and her many wacky hair styles, I thought I'd give it a try. My hair isn't really very Asian (meaning straight and soft) though, so I ended up having something akin to alien antennas poking out of my head.

Then there was saguek hair, which for a girl means extreme curling and braiding (esp for those cool hairstyles gisaengs have) Unfortunately my hair is also extremely thick and frizzy, and doesn't take well to being tamed, so I ended up with a really bad fro-look-alike going on for a while. It could have rivalled Whoopi Golberg's at some point.

But even so, I still can't help trying a new hair style every time I see something new that looks really cute. And I haven't given up hope of trying a Gu Jun Pyo fro on my brother. Just need to plan the perfect time....

Thanks JB and GF for running this site! May it continue for many years to come.

Oh, and I'm not a resident of US/Canada :)

I'm not a Korean but I've eaten and made Kimchi well before I started watching dramas..

I've always love good food and Korean food has always been my fave well before my first korean drama.

But, after getting hooked into korean drama:
I prefer to lose a few weeks sleep watching Jumong than sleeping on my comfy bed.
I don't mind eating bibimbap, samgyupsal, galbi and gain a few kilos over the weekend.
I don't mind people saying that I have single eyelids
I can spell the Korean names much better than my mother tongue language

What else? I'm obsessed with anything that has Korean tags! Yes, I'm a Korean Junkie

*I’m not a resident of US/Canada.

Definately crazy for Korean drama n culture. I took Korean course (haha... which is very slow improvement).. went to korea... tried things related to Korea.

wish to get a lover which face look like a korean actor????
hahahaha....

+Watching K-drama turn me into a Korean maniac...hihihi... I started to like eating Korean food, drinking Korean drinks, and learning to speak Korean language....:)

I started to have a new passion for learning Korean that before I know it, I keep saying "aigoo" and start picking up on some korean phrases. And funny thing is...I just have to, I HAVE to eat ramen everytime I see people eating one in dramas. And oh, lack of sleep. I stay up late watching korean dramas that I come to school like SUPER tired. Oh well, it's all worth it, as I know everyone here will agree :P I also started listening to k-pop, especially 2NE1! :D

My email: [email protected]

I started to read dramabeans (almost) every single day!
I also developed a love for everything korean, especially korean music (even if i don't understand them).

Also, I've developed a strong desire to travel to Korea.

After watching kdramas and kmovies, I, along with my sibs, gradually did a lot of new things.

First is when I took up Korean (apparently almost like everyone here) as part of my foreign language course in college. I started calling everyone in korean and unconsciously talk to people in korean. I call my parents Omma & Appa while my brothers & boyfriend, Oppa or Ahjussi. :) Sometimes, I even bow to them when I meet or saying bye to them.

Secondly, I tried the car turning scenes 3 times already. I know its somewhat dangerous and against the law here in my country but I did it anyway.

My friends and I made Friday to Sunday to a pajama-sleepover-koreandramamarathon-party ritual. Until now, we always free a certain weekend to get together. A break from our busy lives.

My brothers & I also started eating korean foods. The spicier, the better. Half of our pantry is full of ramen, in the fridge you can always see kimchi, soju, every bean paste in the market, & of course, banana milk! If we're on for a roadtrip or outing, we make it a point that we make some kimbap the night before. :D

Another one is when I'm out drinking with friends, I always lean on the side while drinking. It become my habit. At first, they find it weird but nowadays some of them also do it sometimes. I also did get a lot of piggyback ride from my brothers, boyfriend & even my dad--drunk or not. :)

I also got introduced to korean music. My cd collection and itunes library is now mostly dominated with korean singer, groups & bands albums.

Butthe memorable one is when the whole family went for a vacation in Korea as a graduation gift for me. We literally researched, listed down and went to the places seen from the dramas, movies and 2D1N. I loved every seconds of that trip. :D

Things I have started to do since I fell in love with K drama two and 1/2 years ago:
1) Took two accelerated university classes in Korean so I could cover a year's work in 12 weeks and have continued with my study of Korean -- now taking my second semester of third year Korean
2) Joined a fan subbing site and have contributed over 90,000 subtitles
3) Cut DVDs of Korean pop all the time which are constantly playing in my car so whoever rides in my car must listen to Korean music.
4) Set up my iphone two years ago so I could write emails in both English and Hangul
5) Downloaded an app which will transcribe (but not very well) Korean speech to Korean text
6) Bought several books on the Korean language and read them for the pleasure of learning more about Korean.
7) Went to Korea for several weeks and fell in love with the Korean people.
8) Answered the phone at 3 in the morning -- when the person said "야부셰요," automatically responded "야부세요", then really woke up, thinking, I don't know anyone who speaks Korean who would be phoning me so early in the morning and realized it was a wrong number.
9) Bid on and won a custom hand-painted silk hanbok at a silent auction and wore it to three days later for an oral presentation in class.
(if you don't sound good, you should at least look good!)
10) Uploaded to Youtube some videos of traditional dances done by a team from a Korean university which was visiting my city
11) correspond with friends around the world who address me as Noona and Unnie!
With respect to so many people's comments about eating Korean -- I have been eating Korean food for years at least once every other week because I love the spiciness.
I mean, I am not ethnically Korean, but even as a child, I would put kim chee between two pieces of bread and eat a kim chee sandwich.
One last thing -- if you eat a bulkogi burgher, DO NOT, and I repeat this, for hard contact lens wearers, DO NOT put your lens back in your eye is you put the lens in your mouth for any reason.

Congratulations to the winners! :D

I haven't really noticed what I've done as a result of watching K-Drama until this question, but, I think the biggest change (Or the one that I've noticed) I've had is eating food while watching Dramas. I never ate food before while watching regular TV, but I seem to be stuffing my face with various snacks (Ramyeon, Pepero, Choco Pies, Lotte Ceylon tea, rice cakes...) while watching K-Dramas. I think my subconcious thinks it's a way of getting closer to K-Dramaland. ;D

Addendum to things I now do that I didn't before
Watch at 3 a.m. in the morning, the live stream of the prime time broadcasts of K-dramas, so for some dramas now:
1) Watch raw live
2) Read recap on this site and others
3) help sub
4) edit subs -- so I end up watching some 4 times within three or four days!

I've started to use translated Korean sayings in English now... lulz...

"seriously no joke"
"jackpot"

etc.etc.

watching korean drama makes me wanna eat ramen, kimchi or dine in a korean resto just to feel the korean drama's i've been watching. I've been looking korean groceries here in our country to check in all of the products of koreans that i am seeing in the korean dramas i've been watching. I also checking the net to be able to learn korean language or how to write in korean so that even if there is no translation i can still understand them... and i finally i want to go to korean to see all the shooting sites of all korean dramas i have watched!

after watching k-dramas (a whole lotta of em) I STARTED SINGING IN KOREAN! haha! the first one I've learned was Geu Deh Ji Geum (I hope I spelled that right) from Full House. From there, I learned Zza La La from Love/Marriage, Can't Believe It from Personal Taste, Yuh Reum Hyang Gi from Summer Scent, Lovin' Ice Cream from Lie To Me... AND A WHOLE LOT MORE!

and when I sing, people give me that what-are-you?-korean?really?doesn't-look-like-it look :D

In the name of K-Dramas I've started learning some Korean... because waiting for the subtitles seem to take forever when I'm addicted. I'm still basic though. I also showed some dramas to my sisters to watch and their addicted as well. We've been trying to cook some simple Korean dishes but I don't think it's the same. We really want to visit Korea (not only because of KPOP) becuase the sageuk dramas have the nicest views (not just the actors :p) as well as some other type of dramas...

*I'm currently out of the US but I'll be going back in March.

There have been lot of changes..
1. I started learning Korean
2. These days few Korean words automatically come from my mouth...like "jinga, omo, mian...etc"
3. when counting numbers using fingers, in our country we use the little finger to denote the number 1 but since in Korea they start the counting from the thumb i have unconsciously started doing that :)

5.45PM (Indian Standard Time)

I remember watching so many dramas since the 1990s. I studied abroad in Seoul my junior year and learned Korea. I can understand a bit of the Korean drama without subtitles. Then came back to Korea to teach English in Jeju! I'm still here!

Well I hate school and anything educational but kdramas just have this crazy addicting pull so that I couldn't help but doing the impossible, LEARN. I've dedicated myself to learning Korean because its so frustrating waiting for subs to come for a drama. I've basically signed up for every Korean teaching website there is.

I also started listening to kpop which I love!!!

I also use random Korean phrases around my friends and I've also taught them some too. I remember once we started shouting mi chyuh suh at random people passing near us, needless to say they thought we were mi chyuh suh.

And last but not least watching dramas has lead me to believe that I'm secretly being filmed for a drama because I have all the signs of being a female lead in drama.

* I have meet an older guy who is out of my league and also happens to be insanely rich and doesn't acknowledge my existence. ( By the rules of kdrama however he should be in love/obsessed with me in two weeks)

* I have been piggybacked (repeatedly)

* I have an awesome phone ( Every female lead always has an awesome phone no matter how dirt poor their character is)

*** I'm not a US/Canada resident

Watching K-drama made me wish to visit Korea esp. Jeju Island as it is a favorite shooting site. I also started watching korean movies. There were some which are too abstract or what but I saw several good movies. I also became very interested to learn korean but I could only pronounce the basic. I went to korean restaurant sometime last year and love the food.
My worst exp. being a k-addict was this. I am renting, so I have this little landlady, I remember it was Secret Garden then. I never had any inkling that it was one of the best k-drama I'll ever watch. So when I began watching, it was on a weekday. (I usually watch on saturdays and sundays) I am an Engr. and work usually begins very early in the Philippines. So there on the second episode I was could not get myself to put off my portable dvd. In the middle of the 2nd episode I txted my superiors that I was not feeling well and would be absent the next day. I watched till 6am. Slept for 3 hrs and watched again. I starve as I could not get out of my room bec. for sure my landlady would ask why I did not go to work. So I used a headset so that there would be no sound. Luckily I have several biscuits but being a Filipino, I could not live without rice but I did that day. I finished ten episodes, six more to go. the same happened. I did not go to work the next day, my reason was I went to visit a doctor. But I stacked on food so I won't have to starve inside my room. I finished the drama 8pm in the evening. I slept at 9pm and reported to work the next day. I felt I was back in my college days using those petty reasons, but petty they might it's k-drama. Whatever. They never found out I never went to a doctor and though I was sick. K-drama addiction..

It's so nice to read that some people are as crazy as me!
I'm so addicted that every weekend night I stay up till about 3am watching dramas on my laptop under the covers (cause mum would kill me if she found out).
I go to korean classes because I want to be able to watch without subtitles.
I only ever listen to korean music now, and when I'm driving I turn it up real loud and sing along (to the shock of those poor k-drama ignorant australian citizens driving next to me). Unfortunately I don't understand every word I'm singing so I must pronounce stuff wrong sometimes (bet I sound pretty funny).
And when I'm sad, I find a karaoke bar and belt out some good tunes.
It's all so much fun!

oh, and not a resident of canada/US

Korean dramas introduced me to Korea as a whole. It fueled my love for Korean music, whether it be k-pop (DBSK and Big Bang) or k-indie. Sucky subtitling in some streamed kdramas has led me to study Hangul, though until now, I can only read but not really understand that much (heh). I was overjoyed when KBS World was included in our cable subscription. I've also learned to love Korean cuisine especially kimchi and samgyupsal. I once bought a bottle of soju at a Korean grocery store but only drank a tequila shot's worth. Due to my obsession with kdrama, I've turned my mother into a convert. We bonded over My Girl, Story of A Man, and most recently City Hunter. She even grew an unhealthy liking to Kim Rae-won. :)) When nothing interesting is on air, we would even listen to Korean news channels, albeit not understanding a thing. Now, the only thing left for me is to visit Korea.

In a nutshell, watching kdrama has permeated every aspect of my daily life.

(I'm not a resident of US or Canada.)

Alrites, after reading most of the comments here, I don't know where to start. Practically everything that has been mentioned already is exactly the same for me. And like most people have said already, I’ve always thought I was one of the odds but I guess that's not the case anymore. I've been watching dramas for most of my life, whether it is HK, Taiwanese, Japanese or Korean, thanks to my mother. But there was a period where I completely stopped watching dramas. I didn't pick it back up until grade 7 when one of my friends reintroduced them to me. But that time it was different, it wasn’t just any drama, it was k-drama. Ever since then, my life has been occupied by the Korean culture, the k-dramas, the k-pop and Korea itself. I’m currently studying Korean in my free time and if you asked me why, it’s because I remember myself waiting impatiently for the subtitles to come out and saying in frustration “Damn! I wish I was Korean. I wish I knew Korean, then I wouldn’t need to rely on the subtitles.” But the good thing is because I don’t know Korean too well, I came across this site, Dramabeans. I mean it was too painful to wait for the subtitles that felt like forever when you are dying to know what happens next. Thanks to Dramabeans, I’ve been able to overcome this. The recaps are as fun and exciting as watching the drama itself. And so apart form answering this competition queation, I would also like to thank all the contributors at Dramabeans who have made it a so much easier for non-Korean speakers like myself. I also want to say to Javabeans and Girlfriday that I really admire your sense of style in your writing and the humour you put into it. All in all, thankyou so much *90 degree bow*. Anyway back to where I was, as I grew more familiar with the language, I was able to recognise a small part of the dialogue in the dramas and before I knew it, I would unconsciously utter random Korean expressions such as aigoo, jinjja, cheongmal, micheosseo and so many more that I could think of. Sometimes I would say something Korean to my mum and she would have the WTF face ==’. I don’t even watch TV anymore because most of the time I’m on the computer watching dramas. And yes, the korean food. Everytime I see someone in a drama eating ddeokbokki by a street vendour, my mouth would simply water. I was always keen to try it and it wasn’t until I tried making it myself. Making ddeokbokki was my first ever attempt to make Korean food. Eversince then, I’ve tried and cooked so many other Korean dishes. I even know the Korean dishes better than my own Vietnamese ones. It’s really a disgrace but who cares, Korean food owns. Oh and how can I not mention; my dream to visit Korea. When my parents bring up the holiday destination talk, the first word that comes out of my mouth is “KOREA!”. My parents say I too crazy about Korea and they always tease me, saying that they’ll expect a Korean son-in-law…. Why not? Hahas. My life has been vastly affected by the Korean culture, even with school assignments, when we have a choice on the topic of research; I would pick something that has some connection which Korea. I only listen to k-pop, very rarely do I listen to American songs anymore. I sing Korean songs and I read Korean lyrics. I’ve gotten my friends and cousins into kdrama. Omo, my word count. I better wrap it up. Oks this is what my life has evolved into ever since my encounter with kdrama. My obsession with Korea is beyond words. I’m extremely sorry for my ever so long post but I guess this makes up for all the posts I should’ve posted but havent plus this is the first time maybe second, I don’t remember posting on this site. I’m not trying to write an essay but I just have so much to talk about when it comes to Korea :) Cheers ^^ and btw, I am not a Canada or US resident.

kdramas had actually made me a nocturnal person. i stay up the whole night till the next day just to finish up a whole series. and also it encouraged me to learn the korean language. ha. how much i like it when i try to answer simple phrases simultaneously with the characters :)

Korean dramas made dress all quirky!

Marry Me Marry might be a trainwreck of a drama (a cute trainwreck) but the outfits are so nice and colourful that I caved in. I live in sunny all-year round Malaysia, and technically there's simply no need for me to have a sizable winter wardrobe. If it snows here, we might need to listen to the Mayans after all. But uh, I'm easily influenced, and after seeing how cute everyone looked, I'm all for winter. Never mind the fact that I'll only wear them once per year when I travel overseas. It's cute! And Korean! I'm sold!

Of course Korean dramas aren't only set in winter (though you must admit that the better ones are in the second half of the year), so hey, new summer wardrobe as well! If you see a girl with huge lime green frames and bright red sneakers, that'll be me :D

*not a Canadian/American, in case you haven't already guessed

Perhaps I went a bit overboard, but for me dramas were a gateway drug to everything Korea. I now a) am studying Korean b) regularly crave kimchi, bibimbap, samgyupsal, etc. c) am doing a TESOL certificate and plan to teach English in Korea next year d) have a wholly unrealistic to-do list for when I am in Korea (since dramas are not real life, I can't really expect any events in my Korean life to resemble a drama, but I *can* try and convince some new friends to play along and give me a piggyback ride now and then and cry with me by the Han river ^^)

After watching Kdrama's I've begun to use small Korean phrases and such to my friends. I think I'm beginning to really catch on to the language too.

Apart from that, I'm also a huge fan of ramyun, and have started to learn Korean cooking!! :D

oh. forgot it. am not from US or Canada

hahahahha..... ive been waiting for someone to answer that question :P

So, watching all these K-drama everytime i wanna like say these korean words outloud... have a sudden craving for KIMCHI!!! Every bad boy i meet will suddenly fall for me in a mysterious way and K-dramas practically made me like HALF KOREAN!!! LOL :D :D :D

Top 5 things I’ve started doing since watching K-dramas:
1) Eating Korean Food – I started craving for Korean barbecue (samgyupsal) – I’ve tried all the different Korean barbecue restaurants in our area. I even tried my hand at cooking Bibimbap for my whole family (who have never tasted this before). I’ve also ended up buying the different types of ramen in the Korean grocery stores!
2) Learning the Korean Language – I’ve sometimes answered yes/no (ne/anyi) in Korean during regular conversations. I research the translations of different phrases and words to the point that I’ve downloaded different Korean-english dictionary applications on my Ipad!
3) Travelling to Korea – I travelled to Seoul just last August 2011 and visited the different drama settings (Boys Before Flowers Seoul Tower and Cable Car, Coffee Prince Shop, Gumiho’s Myeongdong Cathedral, etc.) I’m set to travel to Korea again this November 2012 and plan to visit other sets I haven’t visited.
4) K-pop Fanatic – I used to be not a fan of K-pop but I’ve found myself following different groups closely and search the internet whenever I hear of a new group. Just recently, Kim Hyun Joong travelled to our country, and I found myself following him to the different sites he visited. I went to two different malls in opposite sides of the city in one day just to catch a glimpse of him!
5) Spreading my love for everything Korean – I’ve been obsessed with everything Korean since I’ve been watching the series. I love the way Korean people speak, their food, their humor, and their fashion. I’ve influenced friends to come with me to Korea, buy into the Korean fashion, eat at Korean restaurants with me, and just recently, I’ve even gotten my boyfriend (who’s anti-Korean series) to watch a series with me! What’s more is that he actually enjoyed the story!

Oops - I'm not from US or Canada

Omg I star leaning korean and speaking it with my sis hahahaha and people were like what? It was funny so i just speak a few words with my sis everyday want to go to Korea so bad saving money to go there and I'm going to. Change to shoujo I like it. Started to go to Korean way in new York city always and buy staff there hehehe my life change completely hahah but I love it.

I live in the United States

Oh and also love the k-pop industry I have it in my iPhone I lisen to it everyday hehehe

I Still live in the US

- Downloading and listening to K-drama OSTs, and getting to know Korean singers in the process; and
- - Saying 'omo!' all the time.

*Not a US/Canada resident

I started to improve my English, I even enrolled into an English course, so that I can translate English subtitles to my mother language.

In comparison to US or Korea my country is at the end of the world, in Eastern Europe. Dramafever and viki says "NA in your region" And even Yesasia doesn't shiping into our country, because we are too far, and shipping would cost too high. If any of above mentioned companies' manager read this post, please reconsider European countries' position, because WE DO ARE a big market for kdramas and kpop culture. Please open to Europe, there is a huge fan base, who is hungry for korean culture.

I'm an Indian and the strangest thing that this insane obsession with K dramas made me do was to sign up as an editor of subs at darksmurfsub.com. Darksmurfs use Chinese subs of Korean drama and use that a basis for translation. As an Indian, not knowing Chinese, not knowing Korean and yet volunteering as an English editor (in the face of multiple deadlines and assignments at college) was the zaniest thing I've done....but such was my frustration at not getting quick subs for the Princess Man. And one of the most fun too!!! I've officially contributed to Hallyu :) (Can I get the crunchyroll giveaway? Envisage the deadly combo of Puppy face and Bollywood gyrating :) )Congratulations Dramabeans (Team Java and GF and all the other great writers) for nourishing and sustaining an immense addiction to Korean drama and pop culture.

Short Story: I became a kdrama subber.

Long Story that started of with this random thought: I wonder this counts? Being a kdrama-addict didn't made me want to start sprouting random korean phrases, become an instant noodle convert or drink soju - I don't drink alcohol - although makgeolli does look tempting. That and black bean noodles. And those rice cakes...

*cough* Sorry, went off on a tangent there (did warn you that the story was long). Anyway, believe it or not, kdramas reconnected me to my Chinese roots. I became a kdrama subber, based on my so-so Chinese skills - I am what you call a banana (yellow outside, white inside), because though I am Chinese, I didn't go to a Chi school or speak Mandarin in my daily life (I speak Cantonese, but I do understand Mandarin Chinese)

In a roundabout way, watching kdramas made me wanna improve my Chinese. Let me explain. Two words: Chinese subtitles. They're available at record speed - within hours of a show's broadcast.

Therefore New Year's resolution: Properly learn up my Chinese (don't wanna be "daechoong" anymore), and then written Korean (thanks to years of undubbed kdramas, I understand basic spoken Ko) and if I haven't given up by then, Japanese (in which I suck at both written and verbal).

Ambitious? It's a three year plan. Wish me luck!

P.S: Sadly, do not reside in US or Canada.

My kdrama addiction has been going strong for 14 months now. As a result, many changes have occurred in my life, to wit:

1. Dramabeans has become my most visited website.

2. Have downloaded more than one terabyte worth of kdramas. Started on the next terabyte.

3. Enrolled in an online Korean language course

4. Say "Thank You" (or Kamsa Hamnida to Koreans I meet) with a 45-degree bow.

5. Aisssh, Aigoo, Omo, Unni, Oppa, Arashoo, Yobosayo Daebak, etc.have become part of my vocabulary

6. Offer drinks with my right hand holding the glass and my left hand holding my right elbow

7. Sing "Olmana olmana do, noreul, Iroke baraman bomyo honja…" or "Here I am, yogi, here I am, jigeum yogi-yi…" in the shower.

8. Used to think I would never fall in love with chinky-eyed men. Park Shi Hoo and Gong Yoo have rid me of that bias.

9. Have become very interested in Korean history, especially the Joseon era…and King Sejong the Great has become one of my idols.

10. Have started writing fanfiction based on k-dramas.

11. Now honing my iMovie making skills with kdrama-based projects. Finished "Dancing Happily Ever After in KDramaland" using dance sequences from kdramas. Working on "Hangul: Daebak Alphabet" using segments from Tree with Deep Roots.

12. Perpetually wearing eye baggage, due to many allnighters watching kdramas.

13. Seriously planning to go to South Korea this spring for the cherry blossom festival, and for some kimchi, kimbap, dukbokki, bulgogi and soju/makgoli binging.

Aigoo, I what was my life like before I got sucked into the dark side?

Since I started watching K-drama, I've paid a lot more attention to Korean music especially kpop. I've also started paying attention to Korean entertainment news. Thankfully, sites like Dramabeans translate the news in English so that I can understand it. :)

I started to learn a bit of Korean and I explored my local H-Mart a bit more in terms of food. You don't even want to know how much ramyun I picked up while watching Flower Boy Ramyun Shop -__- Whenever I saw a scene of them eating Ramyun I felt the need to make some. I'm not sure which one came first, but around the same time I started watching K-dramas I started listening to K-Pop as well.

Well first, I listen to a crazy amount of kpop, so much so that people even ask me to put updates on fb of all the many different things happening in kpop. I ended up doing kpop and kdramas to be my passion in a class presentation where everyone was talking about government issues ><
I started eating korean food and buying korean products. I also am learning korean at my school. I hope that once I'm more secure in my college I can also go and study abroad in korea. ^^
