How to get your friends to watch kdrama

I have been watching Kdrama for sometime right now. Since a lot of them are on Netflix, it’s tough not to pay attention. Up until now, I have seen Love from another star, Doctors, Memories of Alhambra, Crash Landing on you, Descendants of the sun, My first first love, Romance is a bonus book among many.

Even though, I wasn’t sure if I’ll enjoy them. I just watched them, and surprisingly enough I did enjoy them. The music, and introduction to a different culture is what got me hooked.

I enjoyed it is all I can say. How do we get more people into Kdrama?  How do I convince my friends to watch Kdrama? That’s a question I recently got. Hence, decided to answer that first.

How do I convince my friends to watch Kdrama?

• Slide into their DMs- Use memes/drama vids while conversing with them. There’s a high chance, I’ll google or ask you about the drama.
• Share funny vids from Kdramas on instagram once in a while. For anyone to get hooked onto something, they need to find value, meaning, humour or relatability. This is important.
• Watch a Korean movie during movie nights/sleepovers. Also, make sure the movie is a top one so they get hooked. Some Korean movie recommendations- My Sassy girl, Parasite among others.
• Use kdrama phrases while talking to them.
• Talk to them about dramas. And how they’re different from regular stories.
• If they’re into Kpop, make them watch a drama in which their idol is starring. For example, Park Chanyeol stars in Memories of the Alhambara.
