Like many others, I started off watching animes and reading mangas, though I wasn't too big on mangas originally. I never even thought about dramas until I was looking through the movie section of a local store and happened to find the complete series of The Great Horror Family. I ended up picking it up because it seemed interesting and it's extremely rare to find a Japanese drama in Maine unless you go to a store geared specifically towards foreign media, and that is pretty hard to find. I watched it over and over, but surprisingly enough, it wasn't what actually got me hooked on dramas. One of my favorite animes is Gokusen, and one day, by mere coincidence, I learned about there being an actual drama of it. After that, I started watching so many Jdramas, like GTO, Hana Yori Dango, Honey and Clover, Hana Kimi, Mendol, and Otomen (I love the school dramas and romantic comedies). I watched so many before I even learned about this site that I don't even have most of them listed on my list. I tried watching dramas from other countries besides Japan, but I guess I just wasn't in the right mood to get into them.
