Hi! My name is Stacey and I am a Kdrama addict.
It all started a year ago. Miranda was watching this Korean drama called Boys Over Flowers. ICK! What a crazy name for a show. I would catch glimpses of it over her shoulder. Even though she had earphones on I could see what was being said because of the English subtitles. I never laughed so hard. All the boys looked like girls and the plot was asinine. Then one day something shocking happened. I started to watch over her shoulder once so that I could torture her again but I ended up getting involved in the story. Like the sweet child she is, she stopped where she was and waited for me to start from the first episode and catch up. I was hooked instantly. I have never experienced anything like this with American tv shows.
Let me tell you some of the best things about Korean dramas.
1) There are no seasons. Each series is between 15 to 25 episodes long.
2) The story is told from beginning to end.
3) There is a genre for everyone
4) The emotion
There are so many other reasons but honestly they are just a full out escape. Have you every gotten lost in a book? There you are knowing you should go to bed but you just got to a good part? Next thing you know it's 3 AM and you don't know how you ended up staying awake so late. That's what happens with Kdramas. You say to yourself that you will only watch one or two episodes then go to bed. Next thing you know it's 3 AM and you say to yourself that you have time to watch one more episode before you have to get up to get the kids ready for school then you can take a nap. I have never laughed so hard or cried so intensely over any show on American tv as I do for almost every Kdrama I watch.
