Getting into the Hallyu Wave

Ever since foreign dramas (thank you Marimar!) were introduced in the Philippines, sad to say that I never looked at another locally produced drama, except for Amaya and the Pinoy remake of Full House.  I might know a bit about Lobo (Wolf) which is a failed (epic fail) attempt to do a Twilight drama because our flat have TFC and I have no choice but to see it.  Though Twilight doesn't own the whole vamp vs werewolf storyline, but I believe that it jumped into the bandwagon, the Twilight saga.

Meteor Garden started it all for me.  Although that may not be Kdrama, but a Tdrama, it made me realized that my neighboring countries (Mexico is too far) have their own dramas too! hehe..  I really like dramas to the point of patronizing one drama that was being broadcast over the radio! yay!  I am so accustomed I should say in dubbed dramas, and at first I really find it funny as their mouth is saying something else that what I am hearing (I got over it after 15 minutes I think, told ya I like dramas!)

When Kdrama was introduced by GMA 7 I believe, it was their answer to the ABS-CBN's shooting up of its rating while having Meteor Garden.  I think it was Endless Love, one of the Season Dramas, and as the season changed, there were more and more tears.  I got an impression that Koreans are melodramatic, but upon seeing the comedies, and the other genres, I begin to love them.  And that's what you call, hit by the hallyu wave!  I can never look back now and one of the things on my bucket list is to go and visit Korea.

And so I've got some Kstuffs...
