I'm fairly new to the world of C/K-drama love. I've only been a dedicated watcher since the end of October, but in that time it has consumed my world. If I'm not asleep or at work you can find me either a) watching a drama, or b) browsing MyDramaList for shows to add to my already prolific 'Plan To Watch' list.
My boyfriend/family/friends are all aware of my current obsession, and I have been asked by every single one of them a version of the same question: Why?
"What made you start liking these shows?"
"What's the point of reading instead of watching?'
"How can you enjoy it when you can't understand what they're saying?"
I struggle with giving words to the reasons that I love C/K-Drama, So the question(s) I pose to you is:
How do you explain to family/friends the reasons you like dramas?
How do you explain the feelings you get from these stories that range from heartbreaking to absurd?
If your family doesn't 'get it', do you ever feel embarrassed about your C/K-Drama habits?
