While flipping through obscure cable channels one night in 2009, I came across a broadcast of the historical KDrama,
The Iron Empress. I was intrigued. After that finishing that one, I sought out others wherever I could find them, finally discovering streaming services like Dramafever and Viki. 70+ dramas later, I've been studying Korean and am now one of the main KDrama contributors at
DramaWiki. Who'd have guessed that would happen?
In honor of my very first KDrama, my MDL avatar is none other than Chae Shi Ra as Empress Chun Chu of
The Iron Empress, dressed
in her battle armor.
