I just came to a chilling realisation, the first kdrama i watched is now 22 years old. Its now a full grown adult! i have been watching kdramas almost half my life. Lol. How old is your first kdrama
I subsequently went a little backwards in time after this ^ one and watched bits and pieces of Bae Yong Joon’s & Choi Ji Woo’s “First Love (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Love_(1996_TV_series) from 1996, their first ever collab before their reknown “drama reunion” for the even more renown “Winter Sonata”/ “Winter Love Song” in 2002
The first k-drama I watched (although only one episode, because I didn’t watch the whole drama until 2022) is 6 years old: Memories of Alhambra (2018).
The first k-drama I fully watched is just a baby (2 years old): Squid Game. I watched it when it was released on Netflix.
I started watching in 2004 with Hotelier(2001) and the oldest drama I watched is Sandglass(1995). Today I see that I’ve been watching so long that the star of one of my first dramas, Bae Doona (Country Princess(2003), also my first oppa!) has gone from teenager roles to Mom 😲
Omg, I’m so old.
I think there are two threads here those who were live watching K-dramas 20+ years ago and those who have watched dramas from back in the day.
I am a newbie who has watched older dramas some stood the test of time and some were clearly ‘you had to be there to understand’ dramas. Full house is the oldest one I have seen.
I remember catching bits of a show involving a broody, body-guard type and a cute female lead on t.v on certain evenings long, long ago. At the time, I didn’t know the air schedule; I didn’t know the actors. I didn’t watch it consistently, only when I happened to catch it. Turns out that that show was “A Love to Kill,” starring Rain and Shin Min-ha. I never watched the show in its entirety, but does that count? LOL
I believe that the first kdrama I watched in its entirety was “Princess Hours.”
