I was watching a drama today and randomly remembered that for a few months last summer I could not leave the house. Life was happening and I had slumped into a terrible depressive episode. Kdramas, I realise now, were the absolute best harm reduction. I'd just open my laptop and watch and watch until I slept, and repeat.
They stayed with me and kept me company until life slowly started to pick back up and I could seek out treatment and get better.
I'm doing good now and currently watching Perfect Crown. Watching dramas these days feels like visiting with a dear friend. It also gives me a reason to be part of a community of people with this interest. And some of the very best stories I've encountered have been kdramas. So I'm feeling very grateful to the genre(?) and wanted to hear from others: WHY DO YOU WATCH KDRAMAS?
