For non-asians How have you gotten yourself into asian drama
Since I was young as 10 yrs old I have been into asian entertainment. It started with indian movies b cuz my father is indian and black so it was around me.When we moved to America I started watching chinese movies.
Flipping through the channels one day I came across a Korean drama.Despite the fact there were no subtitles the story was so intresting I couldn't stop watching it.I started looking for other ways to watch my dramas downloading them,watching them on fansubbing sites.I love my kdramas but lately I have been into chinese drama "it started with a kiss",and singapore dramas "Ttramasui".

I'm a Canadian living in Japan and although I watch Japanese TV I've never been that interested in Japanese dramas. (Sorry to those of you that are Jdrama fans!) However, several years ago "WInter Sonata" was broadcast on Japanese TV (both dubbed and subtitled versions) and WOW, did it ever have an impact on this country! (It was chosen as the phenomena of the year by Japanese society.) Several years later there are now Korean-drama-only cable TV stations and many, many Korean actor fan magazines. There is a VERY strong fanbase here for Korean dramas (my mother-in-law included). I struggled with the dubbed/subtitled versions of Korean dramas on Japanese TV (Beautiful Days, All in) and then in October 2006 discovered YouTube and English subtitles! Haven't looked back since! Now watch Korean dramas on VEOH and of course, those I get from here...and to think that I didn't know what a BitTorrent was even 1 month ago! The learning curve has been a challenge but I'm SOOOO motivated to figure out how all this works. I LOVE KOREAN DRAMAS!!!
I started on Jdrama because after studying Japanese for 3 years and not wanting to "lose it" I needed something interesting to listen in Japanese (TV is like the most efficient way to learn a language) ...I started with H2 (I already had the manga ... hear in Italy Adachi is GOD) then I saw Kimi wa petto (the manga) and then I started jumping from actor to actor ... Koyuki led me to IWGP that led me to TomoNaga and H2 led me to ... well a lot of others ...
Now I'm pratically picking the doramas by their synopsis.
I'm currently watching Bambino!, Sexy Voice and Robo (liked he manga too) and Liar Game (Toda Erica is half way from Cuteness and Hotness).
