I started a tumblr solely dedicated to Korean actors, actresses, singers, and just beautiful Korean celebrities in general.

I have found a new hobby which I have a feeling will be a life-long thing. So if I turn out to be an old lady who spends all of her time watching K-dramas, don't be surprised.

I have dedicated an entire summer, a spring break, and a winter break to watching dramas and listening to k-pop while oogling at pictures of Kim Bum and LMH.

I visit Dramabeans daily and have a religious like love and dedication to all things Javabeans and Girlfriday.

I have started to become more interested in Asian cultures and Asian countries and have decided that I would like to visit my favorite ones someday in the near future.

I have spent countless evenings watching Korean Dramas, occasionally even canceling plans with friends to continue on with my obsession.

As a lot of people here I'm learning korean. My obsession is so obvious that most of the gifts I receive are korea related: A hanbok from my parents, korean books from my friends...
And I'm going to realise my dream next summer: Go to Korea!!

I'm French by the way ^-^

Not only have I changed my diet to an almost all korean diet but my spare time is dedicated to becoming my own kpop star which includes from learning dances and memorzing songs to learning korean and japanese. I also abuse korean expressions and aegyo! So much aegyo! Heehee. Korean fashion has also become another obsession. Unfortunaly, most thing I'm a bit crazy -_-

Watch K-dramas made me want to learn Korean so I don't have to wait for English Subs. :) I has also made me want to make and eat Korean dishes.. (I tried making Ddukbokki and failed. Lol. But I'm trying again!) It made me want to learn how to do karate or martial arts.. Lol. (failed. But keep trying.)

Since the day I was hooked up with K-drama, I have been doing all the kinds of new things that my mind could think of: learning Korean, making kimchi, chasing after K-actors (yes, of course! ), visiting Seoul, singing Korean songs, eating bulgogi every week, using Korean cosmetic,... I have made friends with some Korean girls. I've become a regular visitor of Korea Embassy in town :D Now my everyday life is full of Korean delights. It's pretty fun ^^

Hi, it’s me again,

I was typing an additional message that got erased by mistake so I will just do this one quickly. The name of the priest I was referring to is Father John Lee Tae Seok and he dedicated almost 10 years of his life to working with people with leprosy in Sudan before dying of cancer (I think) in Korea. The movie documentary made by KBS was really moving (I was crying the whole time) and apparently it was well received by TV audiences in Korea (according to YesAsia) and re-edited to be shown in movie theatres where it was shown for 6 months. A foundation was created and Father Lee was honored after his death at the KBS Humanitarian awards (I think. This was a different kind of award show, not the entertainment kind). His brother stood there for him and the foundation received $20,000 dollars. This was broadcasted in December 2010 In Korea and in January 2011 on KBS WORLD, where I watched it. I learned about the DVD through the Korean Cultural Center.

Additional ways in which watching Kdramas has made me change:

35—I have cut short conversations with friends on the phone (without really telling them why) because I was watching a Kdrama or a Korean related show like “We Got Married, Win Win, Happy Together, The Qualification of Men [I think that is the title] with Grandma Kim Tae Won and Lee Jung Jin “etc.. 36)—I have been a member of the Inappropriate Crush On Much Younger Men at some point and for a while, I am currently not a member. 37)—I have had to explain to people how I could possibly understand variety shows that are comical in nature (that are subtitled) such as Gag Concert, Happy Together and Running Man among others. If it is subtitled, I can read it and understand. I actually find some of the Korean comedy funny (like LOL funny). 38)—I have had to explain to some of my friends and family members why I like Kdramas so much, because they think they are just Soap Operas when in fact, there are many genres of Kdramas. 39)—It takes me twice as long to watch a Kdrama if it is recapped on Dramabeans or on another blog, because first, I read the recap and then I watch the episode, feeling that I will have a better understanding of the episode, because sometimes, they have things or words or practices or nuances that only people who are well versed in Korean culture would notice and know how to explain. I don’t watch too many dramas at once because of that reason, but I don’t mind. My viewing experience is better enhanced that way and I learn a lot along the way.
I had really written more than this, but I can’t remember it all now. Sorry…

Me... got me hooked on Kpop, started peppering my leisure conversations with K artists names and started my 2nd adolescence of 'chasing star news' heheee
