Hi there & Welcome to my profile ^^
I've been watching Asian dramas since November/December 2008. My very first Asian drama ever was Hana Kimi. For ~2 years I watched only Japanese dramas until I expanded to Korean dramas in 2010 summer. The first K-drama I ever watched was Personal Taste. I expanded to Taiwanese drama in 2011 February with Hana Kimi Taiwan Version. In 2015 May I also watched my very first Thai lakorn, Full House. In September 2016 I watched my very first Mainland Chinese drama - My Amazing Boyfriend.
Besides watching Asian dramas I like to watch Korean variety shows - I Live Alone, Abnormal Summit and Welcome First Time in Korea are my favourites! I love travelling - okay, who doesn't? - but so far I haven't been able to travel much. One of my travelling goals came true in May 2016 when I went to South Korea for 2½ weeks. My dream was to go on a student exchange to South Korea and it actually came true! I was lucky to spend an amazing spring semester at Hanyang University in Seoul during 2020.
Fast-forward to the present: I work with Korean cosmetics, I study East Asian studies and I went for another exchange semester at Kyunghee University in Seoul during the spring of 2024. I have made my hobby of being a fan of Korean culture to be my career and my future degree. During this, I have found out that I have gotten very picky with my dramas nowadays.
