About me ...

I  walk on the nerdy side.  I am a sucker for a good  romance with a happily ever after.  I do not like dramas or movies with open endings - I need the closure.  I have been so absorbed in my Japanese, Korean, Thai and Chinese Dramas and Movies that I haven't watched an entire English language series in forever.

My J-Drama and anime adventure began when I was an exchange student to Sagae, Yamagata, Japan in 1985. Several years ago, I watched Fukuyado Honpo - Kyoto Love Story  on Amazon and my interest in J-Drama was refueled. I have since branched out to Korean, Chinese, Thai and Taiwanese dramas. It is frustrating that there are so few streaming platforms in the U.S to watch subtitled dramas.



My Firsts ...   (If I remember correctly)
Japanese Drama
  • Fukuyado Honpo - Kyoto Love Story
Amazon Prime - there were not a lot of foreign language options at the time. 
Korean Drama
  • Adult Trainee
I  know, random. I somehow watched a clip on YouTube and decided to watch the series. I really enjoyed 
Chinese Drama
  • Mysterious Love
Another YouTube clip the caught my attention.

BL
  • TharnType
Don't judge! We all need a starting point. To be honest I resisted this genre for a while as I thought it was trendy. It's not. Some really good dramas have been made.
