...being obsessed with k-dramas.

Obsession is bad. Real bad. Very very bad indeed.

It all started on one Saturday afternoon in the second month of this year. After cleaning the apartment, kwazy berry decided to relax with a glass of cold juice in front of the teevee before having her shower. What appeared on the not so flat screen was the k-drama, My Girl. It had already started when kwazy berry tuned in to the show. After about fifteen minutes, kwazy berry came to a conclusion that this may be an interesting watch but she didn't like the mandarin voice overs (who can stand the irritating squeaky voices??), the malay subtitles (as usual, lousy translations), and the fuzzy zig zag lines of that particular channel (that's why kwazy berry doesn't like to watch local teevee channels in the island of pearl). And so kwazy berry switched off the teevee and went to take her shower.

It would have been all good if the story ended there.

Later (don't remember how much later), kwazy berry log on to another box-y screen and connected to the worldwideweb. Kwazy berry stumbled upon a great site to watch that k-drama online (i.e. original korean audio with english subtitles). She proceeded to download episode after episode and finished the drama in a couple of weeks. Well, it was only sixteen episodes. Sixteen hours. Perhaps two to three hours per day.

It would still have been good if the story ended with the first show.

The website that kwazy berry found was kinda cool. It listed many of the current k-dramas and movies, j-dramas and movies and even taiwanese dramas (t-drama??). At first, kwazy berry chose a few good korean movies to watch. that's because movies take lesser time to complete compared to serial dramas. By the way, she recommends The King and the Clown. Then after hearing about the Coffee Prince popularity, kwazy berry plunged into the mania as well (in the excuse that she needed to keep up with the latest happenings). For your record, kwazy berry finished this series at a much faster rate than the earlier one. Well, it helped that the second drama was much better than the first.

Warning bells have rung but the ears are deaf to its tune.

And that's how the obsession went into full swing. Years ago when the k-drama craze began with Winter Sonata, kwazy berry was not even tempted to take a peek into the show. Now she has done that. Adding to the list is The Princess Hours on dvds. What's next?
