Hey, There!
I’m Debi.
Hi friends. I’m Debi. I’ve been a stay at home mom for the last 20 years. This year my two kids are both in college, so I decided it was time to start a new adventure. I thought it might be fun to use my Liberal Arts degree for something other than homeschooling. While looking through my Pinterest board, I stumbled on the idea of starting a blog. At first, I wasn’t sure what I would blog about. I could talk about my years as a parent and teacher or what kinds of foods I cook for my family, but those ideas didn’t grab my interest. I spent the night thinking about what things I’m really passionate about and suddenly the answer became obvious. I LOVE Korean dramas!
I joined the kdrama craze kind of late. My husband and I lived in Japan for six and a half years, so I’m no stranger to watching tv in other languages. One day, in the spring of 2016, I was combing through Hulu looking for something to watch. A small selection of kdramas came on up on my recommended page. I had heard people talking about how Korean television was a lot of fun. I decided to give it a shot and see what all the fuss was about. I chose Oh My Venus and dove right in. And I’ve never looked back! I love watching kdramas and I love talking about kdramas. My family thinks I’m a little crazy, although I have convinced my husband to sit through a few with me. A blog seems like the perfect excuse to talk all I want about all things kdrama and hopefully meet a few online friends along the way, who like dramas as much as I do.
I don’t know what my favorite genre of kdrama would be. Every time I think, for sure I’m a light-hearted rom-com kind of gal, I watch a melodrama that tugs at my heart and leaves a lasting impression. And while I don’t always want to take the time to watch a 50+ episode family drama, sometimes I really like to settle in for some extended character development. The truth is, I like them all in rotation. Too much light and fluffy starts to make my brain feel atrophied after a while, and too many serious stories start to make me feel emotionally heavy. Is that weird? Maybe it is, but I like to think it just makes me well-rounded. I also have a strong sense of perseverance, which means I never give up on a drama. Even if I don’t love it, I just keep hoping it will get better. Sure, it doesn’t always work out that way, but at least I gave it a try, right?
