I've been watching Korean dramas since 2011, and they've been a part of my life for so many years. I love them because they help me escape from my daily routine. Whenever life feels overwhelming and I don't feel like I can keep going, they somehow help me get through the depressive periods I experience from time to time.
My very first K-drama was Playful Kiss, and I'll never forget it. But the one that touched my heart the most—and still does to this day—is Coffee Prince. I absolutely love both of the lead actors, and I've continued supporting them throughout the years.
My favorite actress, however, is Shin Min-ah. I admire her quiet and introverted personality because I see a lot of myself in her. She recently got married, and seeing her happiness gives me hope that one day I'll find a lifelong partner too.
For me, Korean dramas are much more than entertainment. They've been a source of comfort, hope, and strength during some of the most difficult moments of my life.
