The COVID lockdown turned life into a rinse-and-repeat cycle of work and sleep, with endless days spent indoors. But then, I stumbled upon K-dramas, and everything changed! What started as a casual watch quickly became all-night marathons because, let’s face it, who can stop at just one episode?
These shows introduced me to a vibrant new world and culture, blending themes like history, romance, comedy, mystery, suspense, and even the supernatural—all packed into just 16 episodes! Each scene, every line of dialogue, kept me glued to my screen. There’s a certain magic in K-dramas that pulls you in and doesn’t let go.
But soon, K-dramas became more than just entertainment. They reshaped my perspective, influenced my personality, and opened a window to the rich history, culture, and language of South Korea. From my fashion sense to my determination to learn Korean, these shows sparked transformations I didn’t see coming.
Fast forward to now: I’m a full-time K-drama devotee and part-time corporate hustler. My love for food and adventure has even led me to experiment with cooking Korean recipes—partly to satisfy my cravings and partly to dodge the hefty restaurant bills.
