I love watching Korean dramas (also Taiwanese and Thai). K-dramas have good stories, they are short (usually 16 episodes), have some great actors, good looking people and locales and hardly any violence. I don't like Hollywood style violence and gore. I have watched many Korean dramas in the last 10 years - later I decided to note them down for my own record so that I don't forget. Here is a partial list along with my own ratings out of 10. Later I will write down the Korean names for practice. 1. My Golden Life - 9 2. Money Flower - 9 3. Shinning Inheritance / Brilliant Legacy - 9 4. Father is Strange - 8 5. Encounter - 8.5 6.

I first watched K-dramas in 2009-10 for 2-3 months and was instantly addicted. Then as I started my MBA program and later got into investment banking, I stopped. Later I resumed watching them again in 2017-18 or so, and have been watching them since. I watch them with English subtitles. I tried learning Korean thrice. - First was in 2009-10 - which I gave up after a month or so. My main source was wikibooks - and the content was particularly insipid and uninspiring - Second was in 2019 , when I decided to seriously pursue learning foreign languages - and Korean was one among the 10 languages I was learning simultaneously (French, German, Spanish, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Tamil, Esperanto, Dutch and Russian). I was using Duolingo and Udemy . I think I also experimented with Fluentu and Memrise, if I remember correctly. I soon lost steam and interest. - Third was in 2020 March-April period, and I decided to take up Korean seriously. In any case I was able to understand a f...
