What was your first drama?
First drama is always special ^◡^ Many of us might have turned to dramas as a remedy for boredom and fell hard for it just after a single episode, continuing the never-ending saga. If not, then you might have entered this world because of your friends who dragged you inside or the social media algorithm that suggested various drama clips. You could have even started watching the dubbed version of dramas in your local regional channels. Were you caught up in the advancing drama wave due to its phenomenal popularity or just by the fundamental fact that the leads were visually appealing that you couldn't resist? ^o^
So, what was your first drama? Can you recall your first drama that commenced your journey into the drama land? Was it a standard gateway drama as the timeless classics or a modern drama of recent times? It may no longer be your leading favourite drama, but you couldn't help being nostalgic as it exposed you to the world of drama!
NOTE: There is only one first for everyone. So, you can choose only one drama. If your first drama is not on the list, feel free to add it to the list.
OPTIONAL: In the comment section, mention the first-ever drama you watched, why did you start watching dramas and what do you love about watching them?
