I watched Lie to Me, Scent of a Woman, Playful Kiss, and then Boys over Flowers on Netflix. I think I blew through them in about a week. I have been hooked ever since. Love dramas!!!

David

Forget Boys Over Flowers! My first was My Lovely Sam Soon. :)

I totally agree. My Lovely Sam Soon is one of the best K-dramas. Jan Di in Boys over Flowers is so annoying! I saw her in another k-drama, The Musical. She is so childish. In BOF she has 2 gorgeous guys throwing themselves at her and she acts like they're her pals. No deep emotion.

Lie to Me!

Me too. I watched it by accident on Netflix. I thought it was the US Lie to me series. I didn't like subtitled shows before, but I couldn't stop watching. Finished the series and looked for more. Watched everything on Netflix and then subscribed to Dramafever.

Playful Kiss THEN Boys over Flowers - Still my top 2 favorite dramas!

that sounds that you too, like myself, think Hyun-joong Kim is a hottie

Brian

Yeah, BOF was my first, but it is far from being my favorite. I much prefer He Who Can't Marry, Secret Garden, King 2 Hearts, Kimchi Family, Dr. Champ, Romance Town, and Rooftop Prince... and I'm probably forgetting some.

Angie

The first drama I watched was Me Too Flower and it was good but I think Heartstrings and Secret Garden were the two that sold me for life. :) I watched Heartstrings 2nd and Secret Garden was the 4th drama I watched.

Amanda

I started with My Lovely Sam Soon not long after it aired in Korea, but it wasn't until I saw BoF streaming on Netflix last summer that I really went crazy. Now I hardly ever watch American TV, because I like kdrama so much better :)

Amy

Mine was actually Phoenix which was so epic, I checked it out from the library-then My Lovely Sam-Soon really brought my love out for k-dramas. Then I Boys Over Flowers.

Aurora

The very first drama I've seen was Full House. It pushed me a little into K-drama. I tend to watch K-dramas during summertime, I noticed, but ones that encouraged me to go deeper would be Autumn in my Heart, Truth, and The Devil.

Lisa

I can't remember exactly which one was first. it was either IRIS or Oh! My Lady. I know...two very different dramas...

Jacqueline

My First was Flower Boy Ramen Shop.

'Four Sisters' was the very first drama I watched when I was a little kid.

Mari

I think my first Korean Drama was "Stair ways to Heaven!" But Boys over flowers was one of the first manga I read. iIloved it!

Mimi

My first Korean drama was Coffee Prince :) i fell in love with Gong Yoo after watching it <3 and i became a huge fan of Yoon Eun Hye. Boys Over Flowers was actually my SECOND Korean drama.

I ALSO FELL IN LOVE WITH GONG YOO IN COFFEE PRINCE, AND HE WAS HERE LAST WEEK IN PUERTO RICO, TAPING SAME THING FOR HES NEXT DRAMA.

Danika Harris

Coffee prince and then Full House! BFF was soon after though.

Momo

My frist was Rooftop Prince i love that show!

NewKDramaAddict

Thanks to Netflix and my love for Asian theater, I would not have ever discovered KDrama at all! BOF came up on my recommendation list. I watched the first episode and 30 hours later, I finished it! My first KDrama and my first marathon watched drama! all about an introduction! From there I discovered City hunter and Bad Guy, in that order. once I found out that Hulu had them and that some were viewable from a website called DramaFever; the rest is history and over 100 dramas later, I am a fanatic! To include figuring out what type of dramas I prefer and the actors that I love! I only started watching simulcasts beginning with a Kimchi Family! Now most of the dramas I watch are simulcasts. I'm hopelessly hooked. No cure in sight!

My first was Boys over Flower , loved it watched the whole thing in 24hrs, i was hooked. Then i saw lie to me, that was with Netflix, after a while had seen all they had to offer, so now thanks to drama i get to watch the hits for $9.99 month commercial free too. Le Min Ho I love u boo

Arminda

I believe my first was Heartstrings. I still love that one. Boys Over Flowers came shortly after though. What upset me though was that I saw You're Beautiful after I saw Heartstrings. I wish I saw it the other way around.

Mel

Stairway to heaven :)

Sammi

My first was My Lovely Sam-Soon, but BOF was second, and now I'm caught between Lee Min Ho and Kim Hyun Joong for favorite oppa ^_^;

Tiger

Flower Boy Ramyun Shop was my first! Romantic comedy still remains my favorite genre of K-drama. :-)

Kristalia

My first Korean drama that sealed the deal on my media preference for the rest of my life was Stairway to Heaven way back in 2003. It was the year I graduated High school and about a month after I was introduced to Kpop by my now Best friend. What got me started music wise? H.O.T woohoo! Now people who talk to me swear I'm Korean (though I'm really just an European mutt ^_~) Hugs and kisses

Niqui

Nope my first K-drama was I.R.I.S after that I was hooked. To this day it's still my favorite drama, I mean it did intro me to T.O.P and later BigBang :) BOF came next which led to City Hunter. I even got my mom hooked on k-dramas now.

Dchisun

My first was Coffee Prince - and Goong Yoo....!

delicatecloud

I fell in love with My Name is Kim Sam Soon when i did marathon watching without realizing (i was on holiday) and made my mother pretty upset as i slept very later (or rather in the wee hours of the morning)!! I was hooked. BOF was OK but i would not have been hooked on kdrama if I had seen it first.

mandelbrotr

Pasta

Toni

Well BoF was my first K-Drama that was at least an hour long for each episode (I don't know how to explain what I'm trying to say haha)....if TV series are included my first would have to be High Kick Through The Roof..if that's even considered a K-Drama

Joan

Coffee Prince!

CindyAdriana

One year ago I started out with a few episodes of Heartstrings but it was BOF that got me hooked...and now my sister's hooked too :) thanks DF

Anna

You are beautiful...I think it was Jang Geun Sunk's smile...hook for life on Korean Drama ever since

Haha same here!!!

The first drama I viewed was Fantasy Couple (환상의 커플). Followed by I Hate You, But It's Fine/Likeable or Not (미우나 고우나). Iljimae (일지매) and The Return of Iljimae (돌아온 일지매) must have came after. I totally fell in love with Kim Sun-ah (김선아) in My Lovely Sam Soon/My Name is Kim Sam-Soon (내 이름은 김삼순). Other dramas such as Warrior Baek Dong Soo (무사 백동수), The Kingdom of the Wind (바람의 나라), and Painter of the Wind (바람의 화원 ) did follow. Need to finish Shining Inheritance (찬란한 유산) and The Jewel in the Palace (대장금). Do love the contemporary dramas, but I realized my heart feels most happy when I view historical dramas. Currently, I am viewing Jumong (주몽). I am so grateful to dramafever!!! Just wish the "Language Professors Hate Him" and "Powerade Saxophone" advertisements would go away. Happy viewing to all!!!

Kyo

mine is winter sonata. i think i watch it when i was 10

Shun

Fisrt I saw the Japanese version of "Boys over Flower", but my first Korean show was "Lie to Me".

Cindy

Full House was my first K-drama

Laurie

Mine was Playful Kiss! It took a friend, who after awhile of trying to get me to watch A-drama, to hook me, she sent me the first 15 min of PK. She promised if I did not enjoy, she would leave me alone. I was hooked from there, and looked for more. Boys Over Flowers & SKKS were my next K-dramas. Like every one else who watched BOF made it a Marathon. I watched it in 2 days! I have watched so many dramas since. Found a few English subbed sites which lead me here to Drama Fever.

Gina

Cinderella's sister was my first followed by Boys Over Flowers.

Jen

Pasta and Dr.Champ were my first kdramas! But it was Full House and Spring Waltz that really hooked me!!!!!!

Vivianna

City Hunter was my first. Boys Over Flowers was actually my second.

Judith

The first Kdrama that truly hooked me for life: My Lovely Samsoon."

Samantha

Coffee Prince was my first and still my absolute favorite. Episode 10 still gives my goosebumps.

LaToya

My Girl ^^ after that I watched Secret Garden and THEN I was hooked lol

kdramali

I actually got hooked by seeing an episode of "Queen of Housewives" and "The Woman Who Still Wants to Marry".

bdale

My first drama was "Full House" totally fell in love with the korean drama, don't remember the channel name but it was korean ... it was a new channel which came with the new setup box , thanks for the subtitles I started enjoying :) episodes were short , funny and sunny. Second was 'boys over flowers' totally was glued to the TV & bewitched by Lee Min ho , third was City Hunter ...then the rest followed Prosecutor Princess, You are beautiful, Playful kiss, Personal Taste, 49 days , doremifasolatido, Delightful Girl Choon Hyang ,Great Inheritance etc .. !!!

Deirdre

Mine was My Lovely Samsoon I howled with laughter in several scenes, reminded me of my native Irish countrymens' sense of humor but then Koreans have often been called the Irish of Asia and I think it's very true in many ways.

LadyT305

My first drama was Pasta. After that it was Coffee Prince then Boys Over Flowers. Omg the memories.

Joanbug77

My first was My Lovely Samsoon, followed by Coffee Prince and Boys Over Flowers...all in the first month! (that's impressive considering I work full time and go to college full time) After that I signed up for premium and haven't looked back!

Amaryce Cousins

Our first kdrama was Paradise Ranch. We watched for Changmin. Next was Sungkyunkwan Scandal. For Yoochun. Then we were hooked!

Carlos

First ever for me was Coffee Prince. I seriously watched just for the hell of it. I was like "Let's see what shows in other countries are like". Well, now I've seen over 40 dramas since. Oh yeah and I started last November....so yeah, I like em better than American TV lol Oh and I'm a guy :)

onichan

My Lovely Sam Soon. I can still recall how hard I laughed when she was sitting in the men's room bawling and he knocked on the door. Just thinking about that scene still makes me laugh out loud.

Sajen

for me I just started about a year ago and it was the combination of Secret Garden with the amazing Ha Ji Won and Hyun Bin, and Coffee Prince with Yoon Eun Hee, Gong Yoo, and Lee Sun-gyun

lindsayjo87

Aha, I haven't even seen Boys Over Flowers, and probably won't. But funnily enough, the VERY first drama I saw was Hana Yori Dango. I loved it, but I didn't really get hooked on Asian dramas for a while. It took over a couple of years of watching one once in a great while like My Princess, Coffee Prince, You're Beautiful, Hana Kimi. It wasn't really any one drama that got me crazy hooked, it was more of a slow-boil love until one day BAM Asian dramas were what made up most of my TV viewing hours.

mihansa

Queen Seonduk. I came across it on a local Chinese language TV station. Even though it's a sageuk set in the 9th (I think) century, the subtitles were all urban-slangy, which was hilarious. From the beginning it was the acting that captivated me (Choi Su Jong!), but I was also intrigued by the historical setting, which was entirely unfamiliar. The costumes didn't look Chinese, and the names definitely didn't sound Chinese, but I wasn't sure. The station's listings only noted the network they were broadcasting for the timeslot, not the program. I didn't know what it was for weeks. Finally I googled a character name from the subtitles and discovered it was Korean. Soon after, I realized it was dubbed in Chinese, and once I started listening to episodes with a Korean sound track (I had moved on to Emperor of the Sea by then), I was even more hooked. It's easy to get caught up in the visual aspect of the acting when you don't speak Korean, but there is a lot of meaning conveyed in the dialog too, whether you understand it or not. Try turning off the sound, and you'll see what I mean. I knew nothing about Korea then, but between the high quality of the acting, and the many puzzlements of the plot, I became very interested. A year and a half later, I am studying Korean, and writing a drama review/language blog. If you had told me Korea would become a central interest of mine a couple of years back, I wouldn't have believed it. My friends & family still don't. But I know anyone on DramaFever understands :)

You captured it all in your comment. Two years ago I came across The Great Queen Seondoek on Hulu.com and chose it because I am such a history buff. Since watching that drama my life has not been the same. Like you I am trying to learn the language and study any and everything about Korea. As a fellow Kdrama fan said, " I must have been Asian in a former life." My friends and family do not understand the addiction to the dramas or my love of the music. Korea thanks for all of the wonderful series you produce and Dramafever for giving us the opportunity to view them.

  Perfect to know that we all seem to share the same feelings. I recently met a Korean family out in the boon toonies of Idaho, U.S.A. and was so excited to try out the chogun (little bit) of Korean I have learned. It was fun and refreshing. I now have new friends.

My Lovely Sam Soon. I am cracking up just thinking about right now.

Jburns

Coffee Prince was first for me maybe a little over a month ago. I've watched quite a few since then so far.

Ross Ramsay

My first was Dong Yi. I watched every Sae Geum drama before I watched my first Rom Com which was Goong

Amy f;)

My first was Lie To Me... but Boys Over Flowers was third and favorite!

sujichan

If I remember correctly it was Golden Bride. I had just become a fan of Super Junior and read that Heechul was in it. I enjoyed it immensely. But it led to me really paying attention to Korean dramas, and watching those that sound interesting and not just because an idol I like is in it.

Fragile Heart

Mine was Coffee Prince as well..My addiction started from there on...

cindyg

first watched kdramas on video tapes w/ subtitles from video store about 30 miles away in Sacramento....Shoot for the Stars & Attic Cat ....watched more than 10 yrs ago. I was delighted to find streaming kdramas here about 18 months ago. Gotta say after a few months of a building addiction, i was happy to spend the money to get ad-free viewing. Love this site. And I've enjoyed re-watching the oldies. Loved Attic Cat second time around and am mid-way thru Shoot for the Stars. great stuff! Boys over flowers...forced myself to watch to figure out the hype and see where some of the current actors were coming from...too teen-aged angst and silly plotlines for me.

aleex

mine was city hunter :))

Nicole

Boys over flowers was my first *blushes* I can't explain it but BOF had a certain "charm" about it that I haven't seen before and not only did the handsome Minho capture me with his acting and good looks the Lovely Hyesun and F4 made me look at life differently.. ya know... anyways thank you so much KrisE for posting this topic because it really warms the hearts of Bof lovers everywhere! <3

mamae

same here, never watched korean dramas, the first and last drama i have watched was meteor garden, then one boring afternoon, boys over flowers was being shown in our t.v. and i havebeen hooked eversince especially to lee min ho

My first Kdrama was Coffee Prince 3yrs ago and I've been hooked ever since, it is still my Number 1.

polgara

Coffee Prince

Lizzie

My first kdrama was "Playful Kiss." I remember watching the first episode and thinking it was the weirdest thing ever and wondering off all kdrama were that ridiculous XD but then I fell in love with the show and literally stayed up all night watching it because I just couldn't bear to stop (and the auto play feature just egged me on!) I did eventually watch Boys Over Flowers and now I'm juggling several dramas and anticipating more. I'm hooked!

monsterlover

Mine was My name is kim sam soon best drama ever :D but the one that got me hooked was hana yori dango

My first was Playful Kiss, but my second drama - Boys Over Flowers - got me hooked!!!! It's crazy because now I watch absolutely nothing but K Dramas!!!!

My first k-drama was "Oh! My Lady." I watched it because it had Siwon for Super Junior but I got hooked. My second k-drama was "Cinderella Man" which pulled me in further. My favorites are Personal Preference, City Hunter, Boys Over Flowers, and Coffee Prince. I L-O-V-E k-dramas!

Couple or Trouble - 2006 I was curious about a Korean TV series that was inspired from an American romantic comedy from the 1980's. After that I watched My Girlfriend is a Gumiho – 2010, and I was hooked been watching the dramas from that point on.

Coffee Prince. I've been hooked for over 2 years now. It is still one of my favorites.

Daemul then 49days, and I have been hooked ever since. You name it I have come to know every site I can watch a drama.

Sherry

Goong (궁, Princess Hours) was my very first Kdrama. A good friend was already hooked, and she loaned her Goong DVDs to me. That was it. For 3 days in a row, I was glued to my television watching all 24 episodes! My husband thought I was nuts, and many times since he has cursed Korean TV, LOL!! Although Goong was my first, and I've seen it many times (fast-forwarding the "boring" parts), to date my all-time favorites are Coffee Prince, My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho, My Lovely Sam Sun, You're Beautiful, and Mary Stayed Out All Night. I <3 Kdrama romcoms!!!

lucy19fox

The very first drama that hooked me into watching kdrama is......."Sassy Girl".

rlrwhite

While my first Korean drama was Boys Over Flowers, my gateway was "It Started With a Kiss". "Say that you love me, say that you care..." - love that song - LOL! Next was "Devil Beside Me" - again, love the theme song by Yida Huang "Chou Nan Ren...Uh-Oh". After Boys Over Flowers I became a total addict. Korean dramas should be labeled with a warning - seriously addictive.

jackieb

My first Kdrama was City Hunter. I watched it because I was tired of US movies. But the Kdrama that led me in was Bad Guy. City Hunter unlock the gate, but Bad Guy open the gate. I started searching for more Kdramas after I watched Bad Guy.

tipsy cutn

My first kdrama was "city hunter". You don't know how handsome lee min ho is. Oh my GOD! am rooting for him.

Talula

Secret Garden hooked me. I followed Hyun Bin to Snow Queen and Worlds Within and then Ireland. Then I ventured off to Heartstrings and then Boys over Flowers. I am addicted and I still have not seen Lovely Sam Soon.

M&M

49 Days. Been watching Kdramas constantly ever since. It's still hands down the best one I've ever watched.

yavanna

The Great Queen Seon Deok. About 7 months ago, I was strolling through Hulu looking for something interesting to watch. I stumbled upon GQSD and decided to watch it because I am a huge history buff. At the time, the fact that it was a Korean drama didn't mean much to me. I didn't even know the term 'Kdrama.' I just enjoyed the historical costumes, the magnificent scenery and the beautiful acting. The end of the drama left me stunned and craving more. I began to search for more historical Kdramas and I haven't stopped since. The more I learn about Korea, the more fascinated and intrigued I become. Now, I am immersed in Kdramas, Kmusic, learning Korean and even my career goals are oriented towards living and working in Korea. Its really amazing how much one drama has changed my life.

Shelia

Coffee Prince and Baker King Kim Tak Goo. I was watching them both at the same time. Love them both.

VirtualNana

I watched Who's My love off and on. I was really intrigued with Phoenix. But by the time I watched Beautiful Days, I was a complete goner. And now, dozens and dozens of dramas later, I haven't looked back!

Arco

My first drama was my lovely sam soon. A really long time ago probably my freshman year of high school my cable network got the AZN channel and i used watch all of my anime and music videos shows on it and one day they changed the line up and i watched it and i was hooked for live i laughed i cried i was routing for them the whole time i loved every second of it. then came Hwang Jin Yi and i loved that one too and then the network went away and now i watch everything here :D

an0nym0us

my first Korean drama ...awww i will never forget it!!! i remember it was a Saturday i was doin nothin as always lol.. i wouldn't go there but it was indeed a Saturday and i was bored so i was searching for a romance anime but instead i stumble across "PLAYFUL KISS" n after watchin the first episode i was totally hooked.... i was in love lol...well with "Kim Hyun Joong" i was in love wit him ..still am btw ..but the mistake i made was watching "BOYS OVER FLOWER" after that ...damn i cant believe i did that.. stww still upset abt that lol..i hate it cuz i was in love wit kim hyun at the time n she didnt choose him ..i didn't njoy boys over flower for that reason n it was such a gr8 show :(

ellae

I remember it like it was yesterday. My first drama was "GIANT"!!! I completely fell in love with Kung Mo, Sung Mo and Mi Joo and had a love hate feeling for Min Woo...lol. I was so completely into this drama that it was hard to pull me off the computer because I was watching them back to back staying up all night. This was my gateway...I've been obsessed ever since!!! I just finished watching "A Love To Kill" (while crying like a baby might I add), and I'm just completely in love with Rain...lol

NyteRayne

My first Korean Drama was My Girl. I loved the scene where she is selling the oranges from orange trees that belong to the guy that owns the house she is secretly staying at. He ends up paying for his own oranges when he damages them on accident while she is out at a road side selling them. he has no idea that she has been sneaking in one of his houses and living there and picking his oranges.

Holli

"Great King Sejong" - channel surfing one night in 2008 and wondered what it was. Since it had subtitles and being a history buff, I stayed to watch. I became fancinated to learn more about King Sejong, checked out the internet and this whole new world of K-Dramas opend up to me...been hooked ever since.

Ivy HUang

Mine was Stairway To Heaven. The drama was so good if you guys didn't watch it yet, I suggest you do. It's a must watch :)

Carmen

Playfull Kiss was my first drama. Boys over Flowers was what really got me hooked to KDrama, but if it wasn't for Playfull Kiss and Kim Hyun Joong I wouldn't have discover BOF.

Minoz

mine first one is Mackerel run I rememeber the time I watch Mackerel run and I started to like Lee Min Ho <3 and I watch the all his drama.

Heather Polk

You're Beautiful <3

Briana

You;re Beautiful was my first.

Honey

1st Shop of Coffee Prince. Stellar cast. Stellar scriptwriter & director. Stellar soundtrack.

Krista

Well my frist K-dramas were Full House and Taste Sweet Love / Snow White. But if u want to know how i got in to dramas its was because of my friend Dan he suggested a dramas to me called It Started with a Kiss It was a T-Drama and i loved it very much i own it in fact. For t-Dramas I moved on to J-dramas then to Korean and now i watch dramas from all over Asia ^_^. I love movies as well so yeah that's all XD

Jittoku

"My Name is Kim Sam Soon" followed by "Coffee Prince" did me in with a double whammy! Nearly 3 years later, I still laugh when recalling scenes from "My Lovely Sam Soon", and I still get choked from "Coffee Prince".

Jackenstein

Without question it was Goong. I'd been watching Japanese shows (starting with Hana Yori Dango and Glass Mask) when I heard a synopsis of Princess Hours. It took me quite a while to find it but once I did I was hooked on hangul for life.

(((((HUGS))))) sandi

"Grand Chef" is what got me hooked! Then my very favorite EVER was "Jewel in the Palace"....

Christina

My Lovely Kim Sam Soon was the first I ever watched. After that I became hooked!

chrissy

Sungyunkwon Scandal was the one that got me hooked. I wanted to see more of Micky Yoochun, Yoo Ah In, and Song Joongki, so I started watching Rooftop Prince, Fashion King, Running Man, and then I found KPop through JYJ. I'd seen a couple of movies because I was learning Korean, so my teachers showed us Taegukgi, Please Teach Me English, Marathon, and others... But it wasn't until a year later when I watched Sungyunkwon Scandal on my own that got hooked into Korean drama and music. I wish I had got hooked sooner, because it's really improved my Korean!

DarknessEyes

omg no way. I HATED Boys Over Flowers. The story made about no sense, and if I were her, I would have NEVER picked the rude Gu jun pyo. At least I hope that was what his name was. I mean, I love Lee Minho and stuff, but that perm was just goddamn awful. What did get me into watching tho was Goong. LOVE LOVE LOVED that drama <3

addylovesbwoowd

BOF did it for me. Watched it 2011 and i've been hooked...I don't watch anything else but kdramas. I'm on my 43rd one. I listen to all the OSTs from my favorite dramas in my car. My friends and fam thinks i'm insane... theyre all like "what happend to Bollywood" lool. My korean vocabulary has expanded...I'm friends with the korean ladies at my local beauty supply store. lool. I can differentiate between asians now....i know my koreans when i see them <3!! Lee Min Ho is still a favorite...more like first love...but i've grown to love other actors like Lee Seung Gi , Jo Won, Ha Ji Min, Ha Ji Won and Kim Tae Hee... there are others but those are my absolute favorites. I don't know if this is just a phase of a life long sentence!! but I LOVE KDRAMAS!!!!

andreaprice68

It was Coffee Prince for me.....after that I have become completely addicted to K-dramas!! Right now I can't get enough of Gentlemen's Dignity and Bridal Mask!

Thiviya

IT WAS PLAYFUL KISS WITH <3 WATCHED THAT ANIME FIRST

Han'L

My first drama was Sweet 18 but before that I got hooked onto Korean movies. The drama that really got me hooked was Your Beautiful.

gevurahgirl

For me it was Personal Taste (watched on Hulu). That's how I discovered Kdramas and DramaFever, and I've never looked back!

Jocelyn

BOF was the first drama I watched. It was by accident bc I was trying to watch Naruto Shippuden & the last episode of BOF came on. I watched a few minutes & was like what is this mess? Lol I tried Naruto again, but this time Heartstrings came on. The first episode so I wasn't confused lol. After that I watch kdrama more than anything (except Style network shows, lol)

Doramasyo Nogales

BUSCABA LA VERSIÓN AMERICANA DE JUNO, ENCONTRÉ LA VERSIÓN COREANA Y SOLO POR CURIOSIDAD, HICE ¡¡¡CLIK!!!, ME GUSTO EL TRATO CON EL TEMA, LA RESPONSABILIDAD QUE TOMARON PESE A SU CORTA EDAD, LOS VALORES SOBRE LA FAMILIA, ETC. DESDE ALLÍ, NO PARÉ!!! Boys Over Flowers ES UNA DE MIS PREFERIDAS. VOY A VOTAR POR ELLA!!!

acleverduck

My gateway drama was Coffee Prince. I loved Yoon Eun Hye and wanted to find more of her shows and became addicted to Korean Dramas

NO WAY. Mine was Personal Taste, aw it was so cute and intense I really love the main characters retaionship, the plot reminds me to the anime Kuragehime, if you watched it and liked it, I'm sure you're going to Love Personal Taste ^__^

dewaanifordrama

My Name is Kim Sam Soon was the very first K-drama I watched, and it got me HOOKED, particularly on Hyun Bin ;) BOF was one of the first dramas I watched - I have sort of a love-hate relationship with it . Fabulous, but also made me want to never watch another K-drama again - oh-so-much-makjang...but it has LEE MIN HO!!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Sasha

Couple fantasy and My lovely Sam Soon ! They made me laugh so much , and the actors were just too gorgeous not to watch.

Kelly L.

My first Korean drama was Full House! :) It's a classic!

purplenette

Royal Family was my first drama. Loved it.

Jazz Abreu

My first Korean Drama was Full House with Bi! ^.^

serricott

My roommate got hooked on BOF, fell in love with Kim Hyun Jung, found Playful Kiss and SS501, and then spread her madness to the rest of us. I personally didn't convert until re-watching You're Beautiful in Feb. of 2011, and "Korean stuff" is now what gives my (slightly pathetic) life meaning!

YenehAbaba

At first it was the Korean movies, but then I watched Coffee Prince and was sold from there!

Warwynn

Chuno!

Owl

I casually watched Pasta and Coffee House and thought they were both pretty good. BUT I truly had NO idea there was a world of Kdramas out there. In less than 2 months, I have watched 21 Kdramas and am hooked hooked hooked! In order after the first 2 mentioned are: Secret Garden, 49 Days, Coffee Prince, City Hunter, Rooftop Prince, You're Beautiful, Boys Over Flowers, The King 2 Hearts, Love Rain (I have watched this at least 6 times, love Joon), Flower Boy Ramen Shop, Protect the Boss (very cool), Mary Stayed Out All night (this is the only one I didn't bother to finish because I just didn't care how it ended), Heartstrings (a bit slow after You're Beautiful), Personal Taste, Stars Falling From the Sky, Baker King Kim Tak Gu (very good for 30 episodes, best ending so far), Playful Kiss (kind of slow), and BIG - in progress. Can you tell I LOVE kdramas - my fake real life?

My first k-drama without me even knowing what k=dramas were was back in 2005 when one of my local goverment channels started broadcasting Stairway to Heaven. I really didn't know what it was, neither its scheadule (it was on and off on sundays due to ratings) and i didn't get to see it full but i liked it. 2 years later they broadcasted My Lovely Sam Soon. My older brother told me he that the main character was crazy funny, that it reminded him of me that I should see it, & so I did. But on the internet I started watching Korean comedys like 'He was cool' and horror/thrillers like "Sympathy for lady vengeance". I've been totally hooked watching k-dramas and asian cinema non-stop since 2009... & I LOVE IT!!!!!! ;-)

My First was Personal Taste. I saw it on Hulu just because the drama cover image looked really cute. I wanted to watch more of Lee Min Ho so I watched BOF next. I was completely engrossed in the show because it always ended with a cliff hanger. However I was always irritated by the overbearing Goo Joon Pyo and the carpet Gum Jan Di. I love it and hate it at the same time.

September, 2011 - I accidently streamed from Netflix the Korean romantic comedy "Lie to Me" instead of the Fox t.v. show. I was hooked to the point that I would stay up until 2 a.m. and get up at 5 a.m. to watch more. I then was on a quest to find more - (I followed up with "My Princess"). I have introduced friends to the dramas and we have weekly drama viewing parties. We will even miss work when a current show is airing its final episode. I can not watch U.S. entertainment any more.

Since I have been a long time sone of SNSD, you can thank them, K-POP and Netflix for luring me into Korean dramas. My first drama was not so long ago and remains one of my very favorites: "My Girlfriend is a Gumiho". Since then I have packed in 20 more and I don't have any plans to stop soon. Since my thirst needs to be quenched and my spouse is Taiwanese, Drama Fever was the best all around choice for us. We both sat riveted for hours while watching "Queen Seon Duk". Truly amazing! Innocent love, heartwrenching circumstances and satisfying endings!? You have to love it!

I don't even know. =) I just kept watching and watching more dramas. Can't really say which one drew me in. <3

Every so often I would see an ad for Kdrama on Hulu. One day I decided to give kdrama a chance. I found Secret Garden and the rest is history! Since then I have watched a lot of shows and have thoroughly enjoyed them. Currently watching Saving Mrs Go Bong Shil. Awesome!!!! Can't wait for kdrama to release more episodes. :)~

Ruler of Your Own World was the first k-drama I watched. I was working at a bookstore and YA Entertainment had sent a flyer to the store all about korean dramas - so I thought it looked good and went and bought it. I am so glad I did and have remained hooked on k-dramas since then.

Ruth, I loved "The Snow Queen" so much I wanted to reply to another fan. It was so well done...acting, direction, story-line, etc. I fell in love with Hyun Bin and the sense of soul depth and dependability he portrays through this character. I've told many people to watch it. I liked that the story-line had so many elements of realism. Not as "hoky" like most of the dramas.

My technically first drama was a Japanese drama. (Hana Kimi) My first Korean drama was You're Beautiful. A great first drama if you ask me. I think Boys Over Flowers, Secret Garden, and You're Beautiful are all good dramas to start off on. Although they do set the bar rather high for later dramas.

Jumong!! I discovered it in 2010 and watched all 81 episodes over the course of several months. This drama made a huge impact on me. Even though I'd visited Korea twice (and saw lots of museums), Korean history and culture suddenly became really interesting to me. Since then I've watched about 30 other dramas. I still have to watch with English subs but have learned some Korean and can understand more words. I am totally in love with Korean dramas and rarely watch American TV anymore. My first Korean crush was Song Il Gook. Many more have followed!

I like the small thin one so I can keep my cursor on stop and use it when the captions go too fast. All in all I do love your sight. It introduced me to KDramas and I've been hooked ever since. Keep up the good work.

I'm a late bloomeer to Kdrama, so I got hooked by watching "Sungkyunkwan Scandal" back in 2010. The historical element was not like anything I've ever seen before, not to mention the handsome male lead actors! The OST also "blew me away", and I fell in love with JYJ and Kpop in general--a "shout out" to CNBlue while I'm at it :) I don't miss American t.v. at all. My family thinks I'm nuts because I practice the Korean language that I've learned through the dramas and music on them :)

Boys of Flowers. My curiosity was piqued when I saw how highly it was rated on Netflix. That was all it took. That set me off to looking for movies with Min Ho, like City Hunter.

It was the same for me, although the first for me was just a demure Sweet Spy back in 2005,nevertheless I was totally hooked. I don't know, do they put some magic into their editing? The next drama was Kim san soon, the next Winter sonata and so on and so on. And now I know many -many of them. They are the best.

My first K-drama was Full House, then Coffee Prince, You're Beautiful, and then My Lovely Sam Soon. But I was hooked after watching Full House! Loved Rain in that.

So my first Korean drama was Over the Rainbow with Hwan Hee! I was flipping through the channels a few years ago and landed on ImaginAsian TV because I saw this really hot Asian guy (Hwan Hee) and my life was changed forever!! That drama not only got me into K-Dramas but also opened up the world of Korean music!! Now my family thinks that I should just move to Korea because I watch and listen to more Korean tv and music then I do American!! Still need to learn Korean though!

The drama that got me hooked was You're Beautiful. I had watched a couple of episodes of Boys Over Flowers before, but I didn't like it at all. After watching several other dramas, though, I went back and watched it because my interest was piqued.

The first drama I ever watched was Stairway to Heaven. Winter Sonata had a similar plot, I thought, and I really got interested in Kdrama through the famous Four Seasons Dramas. Spring Waltz is my favorite of the 4. From there I have watched about 20 different dramas, including romances, fantasy, romantic comedy and melodrama.

I never liked watching movies with subtitles but since Boys over Flowers I cant stop! I loved the spunk of Jan Di, the friendship of the guys, and still cant decide who I preferred her with. Of course the hotness of the guys didn't hurt either lol. Se7en got me started on kpop and Lee Min Ho on Kdramas.

First drama was My Sweetheart, My Darling, seeing it bit by bit on TV! It is a long drama and we watched the middle part, though I have always wished I could see the whole thing. Other early ones were I Really, Really Like You, Full House and You Are My Destiny! A great older one to catch is My Girl, you won't regret it, lol. Of course, since then Boys over Flowers, Coffee Prince, Pasta and Secret Garden have become some of my favorites.

The first one I came across after discovering the Korean station in Chicago was My Sweatheart,My Darling also in the middle I didn't understand the Korean culture and found it very strange but fascinating.The one that got me hooked was one that followed, The Bezarre Bunch, and have watching ever since.

My gateway korean drama was playful kissed i loved it then i watched boys over flowers because kim hyun joong was in it :) then i was hooked after that.

Mose

My 1st drama was My Girlfriend is a Gumiho. I watched a couple of episodes online and then quickly bought the DVD and watched the whole series in about a week. Currently watching Arang and the Magistrate which is my first venture into watching dramas as the series unfolds on a weekly basis and not on disc or online when the series is already completed. That both of them star Shin Min Ah is a happy coincidence :)

Bluekimchi

You're Beautiful was my "gateway" to watching Korean dramas. I then watched City Hunter and have been hooked ever since. It made me wish for a real City Hunter to catch the bad guys.

Donna

When I saw "Spring Waltz" (followed, of course, by the others in the Four-Seasons Dramas), I felt like I had discovered gold. Never had I enjoyed watching productions so much -- the beautiful scenery, background music, costumes (with those intriguing scarves), and absolutely gorgeous people, complete with lovely story lines which were always heartfelt. It opened a whole new world for me, and now I am a total addict.

Hearts of 19 was amazing, and the ending was perfect!! After that i was obsessed with k-drama :)

Coffee Prince.....I watched it twice then went to Boys over Flowers after I was hooked.

Jewel in the palace, best story i have ever watched on any screen big or little. In fact I thought I had seen it all (from hollywood) then I discovered Korean Drama! Now I am hopelessly addicted. I've gone from historical drama's to modern themes too. I love gumiho stories! I wish i could learn Korean and travel to Korea someday. The quality and talent of Korea's thespians is unmatched! The Korean history and culture are fascinating! Thank you all my Korean friends for the wonderful magic you create! I'll be watching you! :)

My second was Coffee Prince and joining Dramafever Premium. I haven't looked at anything since. I'm committed to Korean dramas as the whole culture of that country and it's history is so fascinating and their dramas are so good. I keep a log of how many hours I have been watching dramas. 1,330 hours since Oct. 2010. I'm definitely a K-Drama addict!

My first K-Drama was I'm Sorry, I Love You. My aunt had persuaded me to start watching K-dramas during the summer of my graduation from high school; since I was such an avid anime/manga fan. This drama made me cry from beginning to end. I was so hooked that I finished the drama in 2 days. Its been 4 years and I can honestly say that I am a certified K-Drama addict and lovin' it. \(^.^)/

Wow . . . so Boys Over Flowers is really that popular as a first time drama for everyone? I didn't know that o.o I think, I came across it by accident because I'm an anime fan and I was giving a couple japanese dramas a try. I found it on some video streaming site, watched it and became hooked on Korean dramas after that. xD I always had to search for a good website to watch them on though . . . and I noticed eventually on like the 3rd or 4th drama that I watched that a good quality video streamer was Drama Fever, so I was like hm... I bet they have a website? Then I clicked on it and was like oh my god. Why keep searching the internet to find episodes? I'll just make an account here since they have a lot of good-looking dramas plus I can keep track of what I've watched! <3

My 1st k-drama was East of Eden. I couldn't believe the story line - the scheming adulterer, the evil baby switching, the over-the-top melodrama. Sure, I've seen plenty of things like these here on US tv, but nothing to the extent of the psychological evilness that these characters displayed. So I tried other k-dramas, end of story, I've been hooked. I even prefer k-dramas to American dramas now. They have more story lines without all the soft-to-hard porn bedroom scenes and violent gore usually seen on US tv.

Actually my first korean drama was My Lovely Sam-Soon this past February...a year ago whilst I was watching Ouran Host High School anime series on Hulu. I came to respect Hyun Bin as an actor and looked for other dramas he'd done...which is what led me to Secret Garden! This is my ALL-TIME favorite korean drama still to this day even after watching 15 korean dramas. I was officially hooked on k-dramas after Secret Garden!

the first korean drama that got me hooked was full house with Rain, it still one of my favorites but i have seen many since and love them. Lee Jun Ki in Time between dog and wolf is my favorite action drama. He is amazing in that one.

or is it just Kingdom of the winds. Hello, middle aged irish male here. I've always been a movie fan, and would have watched Asian movies, before there was such a thing as the Internet. I got into Asian dramas through Asian movies. On a very well known website, I watched The Chaser, I thought it was brilliant. Then I watched another Korean movie from the same channel. Then another, and was stunned by the quality. So i wondered what korean dramas were like. I'm guessing it was Korean dramas, because the aforementioned dramas were from that country. I've always thought Autumn in my heart was the first drama I watched.I lost interest in it for a while. but came back to it later. Yes, i did cry. But there was also one called Patriotic Knights. But that wasn't Korean. So maybe that was before seeing the chaser. I never got to finish it though, as episodes from the site I was streaming from were taken offline. But did find them elsewhere, and still have to finish it off. But Kingdom was my second Korean drama, and the first that I loved. I had actually been trying to find Jumong, because of the reviews I had read, but no luck. So found Kingdom instead My favourite was the guy who played the king.It had a great translation. At least that's what I recall. ie the characters sounded like they were using language from the period the drama was set in. I do find it irritating, when modern dialogue is used in period shows. Is that the fault of wonderful translaters,or the fault of the dialogue in the actual screenplay. I'm beginning to think I should just accept. I loved the fact that the two leading ladies could be so sexy. Yet, not show an ounce of skin. okay. the main leading lady does disrobe a little when being treated for a wound. But it was the other lady, Hye Ap, who was my favourite. The best actor was the guy playing the king. Other dramas I really liked Please marry me Surdemo itike yuku (Brilliant)-Probably the best drama I've seen so far Sandglass (Excellent) Mother (Excellent) The first season Of Dr Koto's clinic. Marvellous performances. Probably some others too.

"Equator Man" was my gateway Korean Drama. I've been hooked ever since! I'm a Uhm Tae Woong fan and have watched Devil, Resurrection, Delightful Girl Choon-Hyang, and I'm in the middle of watching Dr. Champ all online! My Husband Got A Family was funny yet touching. This was the first Korean Drama that made me cry. One that I'm watching on KBS World is Moon & Stars for You. This one is also good. Watching 1 Night 2 Days on KBS World started my fascination in Korean culture! My favorite K-Pop group is Sistar. Anyway that's my 2 cents worth.

Sungkyunkwan Scandal...I was the net and came across dramafever....SKKS was new and being featured...just for kicks I tuned in and dropped out of the rest of the planet...it changed my life. i'm so happy. Kdramas have made me more interesting, romantic, and a lot sweeter. Boys Over Flowers came next, the GQS etc...life is great

Fate or fortune has "Jewel in the Palace" at my public library. The DVD cover says "Dae Jang Geum" as well as Korean lettering. Nothing to indicate just what was inside, yet all 18 volumes (54 episodes) were just sitting there on that shelf. Hmmmm must be something particular for the library to have this mysterious full collection, I was expecting martial arts or the like. But NO, Instead I got absolutely hooked on the historical drama, costumes, traditions, protocols, love stories and even bought the soundtrack! I'm telling everyone I know ! Plus, I've developed culinary skills from all that chopping, dicing and spicing. Since "Jewel in the Palace" I've recently discovered thanks to DramaFever and Dramabeans (for great recaps and reviews),"Faith, the Good Doctor" and I've devoured City Hunter ( yummy Min-ho)and am halfway through BOF. Next I'll check out the favorites that folks have listed here, so thanks for all the suggestions!

The very first Kdrama I ever saw was Autumn's Fairy Tale, and I've seen other Kdramas after that as well... HOWEVER, my gateway Korean drama is You're Beautiful. It was only after You're Beautiful that I started to actually look around for other good kdramas to watch.

Renee

I actually watched a movie first but it didn't get me hooked 'millionaires first love' w/Hyun Bin - but the one that got me hooked which was the first Korean Drama i watched was 'A Love To Kill' with Bi Rain - right after that i watched 'Tree of Heaven' - after those two i was Hooked on kdrama - a hundred dramas watched and i'm still here! :) <3

Boys Over Flowers was THE first drama I ever watched but Playful Kiss was is the one I keep going back to and Coffee Prince is the one that kept me searching for more.

I watched 18 straight hours of Lie To Me, the entire thing from start to finish one night. I was just browsing Netflix, but became totally obsessed.

*lol* Glad I'm not the only one. My nephew pops in to check on me now and then when I haven't come out to grace the world. *lol* Terribly addictive.

Mine was Autumn Love Story when I was about 12 yrs old. I was hoookkkeeed! And Won Bin is still looking sooo good now. Then I stopped watching Korean dramas for awhile until My Name is Kim Sam Soon came out and later Boys Over Flowers and then I was hooked again.. :)

Brittany

My very first K-Drama was soulmate, but I didn't like the plot so I never finished it, but then I watched Coffee Prince & after that it was all over :3 Coffee Prince was the Drama that got me so deeply in love with K-Drama ^_^

Secret Garden was my gateway drug, now fully addicted. *lol* I should be ashamed but I send this with the biggest grin on my face. :D

Now that I think about it... my first k-drama was Iris! I loved it!!

Jeanette Simms

Full House starring Rain!

amethyst diamond

Bad Love, still one of my all time favorites

noelani

Resurrection and Great Queen Seonduk

Felicity

I think my first dramas were Stairway to Heaven and Dae Jang Geum back in 2004. I was really (around 5/6?), but my whole family used to sit together every night to watch those two dramas. I didn't watch many dramas for several years after that and had almost completely forgotten about them until I had found an old dvd set of Lovers in Paris and started watching dramas again. My favorite dramas though would have to be Goong, Temptation of a Wife, Boys over Flowers, Iris, and City of Glass

Mary

The first drama I watched completely was Tomato followed quickly by Autumn in My Heart and Winter Sonata. Back then, dramas weren't usually subbed since it was before the official Hallyu wave so I watched the first 2 with no subs so I probably only understood about 50% of what was being said (but 100% of the gist) and needed my mom to translate a lot of it but still loved them. I found Winter Sonata tiresome so I stopped watching for a few years until Dae Jang Geum/Jewel in the Palace brought me back to dramas. Once dramas started becoming readily available on DVD, I was back for good. I only wish I had discovered Dramafever sooner because I would've saved thousands of dollars on DVDs.

The Secret Garden. It's still my #1 drama followed by Faith

i still love it then comes faith , which is now my fav, along with full house 2

Kam

Ahhh, I think it was You're Beautiful. After, I just kind of culture shocked myself because not only was I watching dramas I was watching variety shows, and before both of those I was listening to K-POP and K-Indie. Haha, went completely off topic.

Kam

OH! I forgot! I didn't start off watching dramas. I was watching movies! My Wife Is A Gangster, A Millionaire's First Love, A Wolf's Temptation...etc.

The first Korean Drama I watched was City Hunter. I was hooked on the first episode and couldn't stop watching. I watched it on Netflix. I am now also signed up for DramaFever. I am hooked on Korean Dramas. I watch them more than American television. I don't like many movies or television coming out of Hollywood and have been watching Inde movies and foreign movies with subtitles for a while. But I knew I found my nitch with City Hunter.

"My Girlfriend is a Gumiho", which I saw last year. Then, a few weeks ago, I thought "I liked 'Hana Yori Dango" as an anime, I think I'll try this." Loved it except for the third quarter, which, as seems typical of some of these dramas gets real slow and repetitive. Since then, I've seen "Secret Garden", "Rooftop Prince" and a few others. I am now hooked, and follow the Drama Fever channel on Hulu. Then I went to Taiwan for "Meteor Garden", their version of "Boys Over Flowers", and now I am trying to find the subs for eps 20-36 of the Hunan knock-off version "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower". I too have gotten bored with American TV, and find the culture shock of watching shows from other countries enjoyable.

"A love to kill" with bi rain was actually my first drama. It was all history from there.

Ana Crespo moran

my first k drama was GOONG, inmidiatly my lovely san soon and wonderful life.....next boys over flowers, now for over 3 years i am with this adiction to dramas and l o v e it.

Teryn

Hulu recommended Playful Kiss, but there were only 3-4 episodes updated so far, so that led me to Boys over Flowers, and then it was My Lovely Sam Soon and then Secret Garden... and then just a ton... without DramaFever, I would have no clue just how much I've watched.

Winnie Riche

PASTA WAS OUR FIRST, THEN BOYS OVER FLOWES , MIDAS, AND 30 MORE NOW. I ALWAYS TELL THE GIRLS TO START WITH BOF BUT THE BOYS CITY HUNTER OR SLAVE HUNTER FOR MORE ACTION

Faye

My first was BOF, which I was immediately addicted to. I watched it twice, one right after another. Then I have have watched countless other shows and love them all. I am so glad to find so many "others" who love Korean drama also. My biggest sorrow is not having someone to talk it over with. Cant imagine ever giving it up!!! Love the drama, the music---its changed my life!!!! Do I have to say how old I am??

maessy

I fell in love with "My Last Scandal", "Faith", "Ilgimae, and "City Hunter".

Emre Soylu

The first-ever drama that i watched was Coffee Prince. And I still think that it is the best drama that was ever made. My other favorites are He Who Can't Marry and Kim Sam Soon..

Tamara

I can't really remember the first Korean Drama that got me hook onto Korean drama. I know I started in Japanese drama first than transferred to Korean. But one of the earlier ones I have watched were My Love Patzzi, My Lovely Sam-Soon, Tree of Heaven and Full House. These are just a few.

My Lovely Sam Soon was my first K-drama! I love that series and still go back once in a while the scene in the restaurant that rainy night. They have the greatest kiss that night! I'd like to know why these shows are so addicting? I'd rather watch a K-drama show than regular t.v.

I ran out of Korean movies to watch on Netflix so I watched Lie to Me...the rest was history. I am completely hooked and have blown through more drama series than I can count. I now watch DramaFever and Crunchyroll almost exclusively....so long Dish Network. My greatest fear is that I will run out of things to watch...

Playful Kiss got me addicted and then came Boys over Flowers. I just loved Kim Hyun Joong which lead me to the Boys and then my complete devotion to Lee Min Ho who other than Mike He who is a Taiwanese actor are all three tops on my list with everything they have been in.

Midas was my first drama. Never seen men cry so much on film. I was like whoa were onto something A. But Bad Guy got me hooked on Kdramas. I respect the fact that in most Korean films the bad guy does not get away with murder!

First and most memorable, most watched, most rewatched, K drama was Jewel in the Palace DaeJangGeum. Then i went for DongYi and YiSan and the rest of the historical drama's. Then i went for the gumiho's.. then the romantic comedys.. got burned by a few melodrama's with painful endings. DaeJangGeum got me hooked tho, hooked in the most addictive way :)

lnwolf41

H.I.T. Though I like the rom/com shows I prefer the police / action shows. The different social mores and the way they did the shows always leaving a cliff hanger kept you watching the next episode. Also they always have a finale end, which I like, though some could of been a little longer. Secret Garden got me started on the rom/com shows ie: Hi Ji Won, one very sexy lady.

COFFEE PRINCE!!
