The First Step: A Moment to Remember

Back in 2011, I wasn’t particularly familiar with Korean dramas or films. At the time, my taste in entertainment leaned more toward Western movies and TV shows. But one day, I stumbled upon A Moment to Remember, a film often praised for its emotional depth and powerful storytelling. I decided to give it a try, unaware of the emotional rollercoaster I was about to board.

The film was nothing short of heartbreaking. The raw emotions, the chemistry between Son Ye-jin and Jung Woo-sung, and the tragic yet beautiful love story completely drew me in. It was unlike anything I had seen before—subtle, yet deeply affecting. I remember sitting there long after the credits rolled, still processing the emotions that had taken over me.

The Deep Dive into K-Drama

That one movie was all it took. I began searching for more films and later started with classic dramas that were making waves at the time—Autumn in My Heart, That Winter the Wind Blows, My Love from the Star. Each new series introduced me to a different aspect of Korean storytelling: the heart-fluttering romance, the endearing characters, the intricate family dynamics, and the emotional depth that made every episode feel like a journey of its own.

Before I knew it, K-dramas became an integral part of my life. I found myself immersed in stories that made me laugh, cry, and even reflect on my own experiences. The cultural elements fascinated me—the language, the traditions, the food. I started to pick up common Korean phrases, eagerly anticipated new drama releases, and even found myself engaging in conversations with fellow fans.

Fourteen Years Later: The Love Still Stands

Looking back, I never would have imagined that a single movie could spark such a long-lasting passion. Today, after watching countless dramas and films, I still get the same excitement every time I start a new series. The stories may have evolved, the industry may have grown, but the emotional connection remains just as strong.

From A Moment to Remember to the latest trending K-dramas, my journey has been one of pure enjoyment and admiration for the artistry of Korean storytelling. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned over these 14 years, it’s that once you start watching K-dramas, there’s no turning back.

How It’s Going…

So here I am, still watching, still feeling, still getting swept away by every heart-wrenching love story, every unexpected plot twist, and every unforgettable character. What started as a moment of curiosity has turned into a lifelong love affair with K-dramas—one that I wouldn’t trade for anything.
