I'm from the US and very new to Korean and Chinese drama. I serendipitously discovered K-Drama on Netflix and was instantly hooked. I have watched an unbelievable number of dramas over the past year and enjoy them even more as I continue. After K-dramas I discovered Chinese dramas which I also enjoy but for different reasons.

I can't thank the people who translate with subtitles enough for allowing other to appreciate the dramas from Mandarin and Korean, to English. They have opened up a wonderful and magical entertainment experience to the world.

I wish more people from my country-of-origin could watch Chinese Dramas. We have been so very misinformed about China. I have fallen I with the country. Good grief, the culture and people have been around for thousands of years and is/are still going strong...something my country can't even begin to relate to. But K and C dramas are not about hate or prejudices. They are about family and all types of love and respect. They focus on values which make the world a better place. Unlike American tv where everyone is running around taking off their clothes and having sex everywhere (I am exaggerating but my point stands) K and C dramas focus on an actual story rather than gratuitous erotica. Again, not a prude, but I would rather watch a story and learn a valuable lesson as well as see how we are all the same. The differences in culture are informative and I wish I had learned such things earlier in life.

I actually no longer watch American tv simply because I find it all boring. I have subscriptions with Viki, iQIYI, Tencent, as well as the typical American streaming channels that carry Asian dramas. Kudos to all the directors, screenwriters, and actors for a job well done.
