AWWWWWWW @crysta 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I'm lucky enough to have friends from school who share my love for k-drama. Everytime we have meet ups, there's always time for us to talk about k-pop and k-drama. But my friends are just casual fans. They watch about 5-10 dramas a year, remember the name of big hallyu stars, but that's all.
DB community gives me in-depth information about the industry. About the writers, PDs, production companies, how much money pour into a production, working condition in each TV stations/companies, (dating) scandals, real scandals, rating system, time-slots, PPLs, Korean history and many other things.
Sometimes I question myself why I started DB in the first place, why can't I just watch a drama as it is without dissecting it. It can't be frustrating when you have different values from most commentators, or you feel that your favourite characters/writers/PDs being misunderstood by other beanies. We're all from different places and cultures after all.
After two years I still visit DB almost everyday. Although I can be unhappy with the conversation or sometime getting emotional, DB community is very important for my drama lyfe.

@crysta congrats on being published 🎉🎉🎉
Love you

“We would not always agree” feels like the foundation of our kpop fangirlship. But we’ll always have those shining dancers!

Awesome write up. There is something special about being able to share the same joy and excitement about something you love. Glad you found that after so many years!

Gahhhhhhhh @crysta this is great you are great ~ I agree with you about all of this!

People who won’t just politely laugh with you, but will discuss with you their different understanding of the topic they too know so much about!! It makes life seem so different, and less lonely ~

*finger hearts*
*fangirl high five*

See... see @crysta, I could talk about how sweet this write-up is, and how happy I am that you found this wonderful community that will squee and debate and rant with you, or talk about how glad I am that you’re a part of this community...

But I think I’ll just cough a lot at your “talent and charisma”.

Cheers to intelligent (and some not so intelligent) debates. Thank you for dragging me into SHINee and Shawol Kingdom and helping me discover my surprisingly enthusiastic inner fangirl.

Thank you!

This is lovely @crysta.

:-)

dramabeans is a wonderful site! i am the same-love kdrama and kpop and k everything with no one to share it with unless it is my online friends! they just don't get it do they?! well its our joy and their loss

Very sweetly written, I love this!

I have a few coworkers who watch kdramas too, one is a hardcore addicted fan like me. I have met other friends who also enjoy kdramas but i feel like I'm more of an intense fangirl what with my OST playlists and actually making trips to Korea to vacation cause i have extra time and money so why not!

My family doesn't really get it although they do try to be understanding about it for the most part at least :D

Shinee!
