NYC!K-Drama Addiction... It's real
Hello *waves* to all MDL chingus old and new, and fellow dramaddicts!
A friend of mine suggested that I try watching dramas since I liked a few Korean movies.
I had no idea what I was about to get myself into, but she definitely did.
The show she suggested I watch was Boys Over Flowers…
But somehow I watched Personal Taste first instead
I didn’t get it at first, then suddenly I was losing sleep watching episodes. I was hooked!
I found MyDramaList on a desperate search to find more dramas to watch.
I can’t believe it’s been so long since I joined MDL
It also feels good to know I am not alone in my addiction
I'm a little ashamed that I never made a profile page until now
And I also can’t believe I don’t speak Korean by now (JK... Kinda lol)
Maybe one day I will finally watch dramas from other places, but right now MDL is mainly SK
My Favorite KDramas *in no particular order*
