Not Dwelling in the Real World
About me ...

I  walk on the nerdy side.  I am a semi-retired social studies teacher in an urban school district.  I am a sucker for a good  romance with a happily ever after.  I do not like dramas or movies with open endings - I need the closure.  I have been so absorbed in my Japanese, Korean, Thai and Chinese Dramas/Movies that I haven't watched an entire English language series in forever. It took me 2 years to complete season 1 of Bridgerton.  

My J-Drama and anime adventure began when I was an exchange student to Sagae, Yamagata, Japan in 1985. Several years ago, I watched Fukuyado Honpo - Kyoto Love Story  on Amazon and my interest in J-Drama was refueled. I have since branched out to Korean, Chinese, Thai and Taiwanese dramas. It is frustrating that there are so few streaming platforms in the U.S to watch subtitled dramas.


My Firsts ...   (If I remember correctly)
Japanese Drama
  • Fukuyado Honpo - Kyoto Love Story
Amazon Prime - there were not a lot of foreign language options at the time. 
Korean Drama
  • Adult Trainee
I  know, random. I somehow watched a clip on YouTube and decided to watch the series. I really enjoyed episodes 3-5.  I think Ryeoun is the next Lee Min Ho. 
Chinese Drama
  • Mysterious Love
Another YouTube clip the caught my attention.
I loved Tsao Yu Ning in this series. I need to see more of him. 
BL
  • TharnType
Don't judge! We all need a starting point. To be honest I resisted this genre for a while as I thought it was trendy. It's not. Some really good dramas have been made, especially in Taiwan.

The news of Mew's engagement to Tul warmed my heart. They are such a wonderful couple and I wish all the best for them.
