' THERE ARE TOO MANY WORLDS TO STAY IN JUST ONE '

Some people watch dramas. I develop emotional attachments to fictional people and questionable plotlines.

𝑯𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒐 There! ☾

My Asian-drama journey began somewhere around 2017–18, and apparently there was no going back.

What started as “I'll just watch one more episode” somehow became years of K-dramas, C-dramas, Thai lakorns and J-dramas, questionable sleep schedules, fictional heartbreak, and an ever-growing watchlist.

I don't just watch dramas.

I collect them, obsess over them, judge them, defend them, and occasionally question why I voluntarily put myself through this.😄

The dramas that opened the gates:

Some beginnings are humble.

Mine clearly weren't.

Still exploring, still adding to the watchlist..

If you think there's a drama hiding somewhere in the depths of MDL that I'd love, send it my way.

...

Adios for now.
We'll see each other here and there. ♡

Happy Watching! 🍿
