who else watches kdrama with their parent(s) ?

The nice thing about kdramas is that the majority of them are "family" friendly. Unlike some American TV which I wouldn't watch with my parents.. lol (I'm not a prude.. its just weird)

My oma is more crazy/hooked on kdramas than I am.. its kinda scary. She hella bugs me to watch the next episodes of shows.. I'm like.. its still DLing calm down.. and she completely zones out in front of the comp screen hahaha.

Its nice since I don't speak korean, she can translate better than the subs and can also translate the korean expressions/sayings which don't get translated very well into english.

anyways, I know I'm not alone.. share your stories <3

I watch K-dramas with my mum all the time. It's our shared pastime. Big Smile

I watch K-dramas with my dad too, but he needs some persuasion from my mum before he does watch, because he prefers watching sports or sleeping. Laugh

But the funniest thing is, when he gets hooked on a drama, he'd make us watch with him till the wee hours of the morning! Usually I'd be the first to give up & go to bed. Tongue

Aha! Did ye know that I just bought the Philips Divx player this afternoon so my mom can watch the .avi files on TV? Just a moment ago, they were all in the living room, my two aunties, my uncle, my mom, my sort-of grandma...all of them watching a kdrama Laugh

It's such a beautiful sight! Mr. Green

My mom keeps whining that she doesn't like watching dramas, but when I make her start, she's even worse than me. She'll finish a 20 hrs drama within a day!
That's why I started hiding the next episodes before I go to work. What really annoys me, is that she likes to compare the main characters from Lovers in Paris(her first kdrama) with whoever she is watching currently. A while ago, I heard her say: She's copying "aja-aja" 's facial expressions; she doesn't cry as good as "aja-aja"; "Paris" is still a better president than this guy.
Oh btw, "aja-aja" is Kim Jeung-Eun and "Paris" is Park Shin Yang from LIP...
ay, ay, ay...my mom...*sigh*

Haha, my parents are white. I don't know how open they would to be to the concept of foreign television shows. They have no problem with movies, but shows I think would be too much effort among other things.

my mom introduced me to my first kdrama All About Eve back in 2000 or 2001. She was more hooked than I was, but I caught on to the series around the middle lol, so I missed quite a lot.

Yeah, I watch k-drama with my mom....though I mostly watch the kdrama that is airing on tv, the only time that I watched a k-drama with her on the computer is 18 vs. 29, lol, I still remember she forced me to watch two eps with her at 2am in the morning on a SCHOOL night. Neutral

And now, me and her is watching Dae Jang Geum together on tv...heh, though my dad doesn't watch it with us, because he finds k-drama with too much crying, I guess...LOL, I still remember me and my mom were watching Glass Slippers, and we were bawling our eyes out, while my dad just shook his head and went to sleep. Laugh

My dad is the type that I would watch Jerry Springer, and fear factor with, while my mom is the type that I would watch kdrama with. Whistling

I've watched an episode or two of Dae Jang Geum with my step dad, but that''s about it. My parents were major drama addicts at a time I couldn't care less about Korean or Asian tv. But they were addicts, I tell you! They'd eagerly rent vhs tapes from the local K store, pop that baby into the VHS and watch with much smiling and glee. I remember coming from the airport one day and the main objective, of all things, for my mom was that I drive her home in time for her to catch her drama. Saranghamnida, eomeonim.

My parents are watching chinese dramas right now. If my dad didn't have work, he would stay up til 3am in the morning to watch them. My mom could watch 10-15 hours straight. She's an addict. Let me see...$0.50 for each VHS tape...$200 a month...400 tapes? LoL

my mom and i watch korean series together. she is so addicted to them and that's the reason why we have those original dvds of them. she watches some episodes all night that my dad is already complaining when it is already 3 am and she still does not want to sleep yet.
