This blog originally started as just a place for a 30-something who had a (slight) obsession with Korean and Japanese dramas and just wanted to drink wine and talk about them, and it’s kind of merged into something else. I found people to talk to on Twitter, became host/editor of a podcast, and found that on top of my real work, I didn’t have a lot of time to devote to dramas…and even less time to write a review on them. But that’s changed.

A tiny rundown of my background: I first got into anime back - way back - in high school. That led to my love of jrock, and my first exposure to kpop (thanks to BoA and the magical Pump It Up). While I didn’t keep up with anime, I did keep up with jrock as much as I could as an International fan and after a while YouTube decided that I should be watching kpop. After a while I got the urge to focus back on Japanese learning and knew that I wanted to find dramas to help me…and the rest is “jdramas are really hard to find” history.

While I’m pretty sporadic here, you’ll find my main drama genre love and focus is on crime, mystery, thriller, and horror. I’m not much of a romcom person, so the darker the better. I’m very much the opposite of most people in the drama world, and that’s fine. I did find the amount of blogging content was harder to find for those types of dramas, and that’s when I knew that it should be my focus. Especially in the horror film scene. I’ve been diving deeper into the fandom, and found that while a lot of people loved Asian horror, they didn’t watch dramas or other content and couldn’t connect with them like I did. I intend to change that.

I’m also very much into music. It’s essentially what got me here. I spend a lot of time checking out the krock/indie scene and still hold on to my first love, jrock. I really enjoy sharing the music that I listen to, and deep-diving into the groups that I do, so it won’t be leaving the blog anytime soon no matter how out of the place it is.
