My introduction to this Asian Fandom started with a Thai Movie "A little thing called first love" which i watched in Early 2014, i was 15+ at that time, & with the feeling of first love of P'Shone & P'Nam,i also fell into MY FIRST LOVE in the fandom world, Mario Maurer <3 Later that year, i watched a Jdrama 'Q10' & Some Korean Movies like "Always" "Killer Toon" etc. My First ever Kdrama was "Descendants Of the Sun" & First Cdrama "Boss & Me" ; Both still very dear to me <3
I started watching on-going dramas in Late 2017, Actually from then on, it slowly became my regular habit & kinda an addiction i still couldn’t let go..I have watched a variety of genres in both kdramas & cdramas,& Very few thai & japanese ones,& I never Watch BL shows (strongly not interested)... I always prefer watching ongoings bcz of the real-time anticipation, curiosity for the next episode, Actors' interactions with promos,interviews, the buzz,everything about On-air watching experiences make the watch journey more enjoyable & memorable for me.
I rate dramas according to the quality of the production & my own feelings & perceptions ; And I try to Judge older dramas according to that time period & Acting/fashion dynamics of that particular era bcz i believe we can't Judge everything with the same scale of modern times/genres.I think very few dramas have got a above 9 rating from me,amongst all 400+ shows that i watched over the years.I'm writing this profile update in 2025,i was never really a very Interactive user of MDL for all these years,but this year I'm being one lol. My MDL account is 7 years old,& I've been a regular user since then,even if not being so active. Throughout this long time, watching these dramas kinda Shaped my adult personality, learning from various nice characters & gaining something from really good powerful stories, & those also gave me comfort in my journey of Life.
By the way,Dramas do not always Comfort me,it sometimes destroys me in the worst way possible, if you Don't understand, you can try watching The White Olive Tree It's a 10/10 show for me,the novel,the adaptation both close to my heart but it also shattered my heart in every ways possible.In addition, It's a drama that made me realize we should forever be grateful to be born into peace.
May you enjoy the beauty of life & live a free and easy Life
