Drama. Addict. Dramatically. “Dramaddictally.” It seemed really smart when I came up with it in the middle of the night to join Dramabeans. Just don’t try saying it out loud.
What is the first drama that you watched (or the first drama that made an impression)?
Flower Boy Ramyun Shop was the first drama I ever watched and it made a big impression. Waiting 11 episodes for a first kiss that literally made me squeal? Yep, I needed more of that in my life. Also, I found out there was an entire world of flower boys out there — and I let their pretty faces lead the way.
Name a job or two that you’ve had in the past.
I’ve had a lot of jobs — from selling clothes to slinging pizza — but a defining one was Urban Researcher. I got to live on multiple continents, explore new cities, and dream up smart-sounding analyses.
What’s your favorite drama you recapped?
I just finished weecapping my very first drama, Kiss Sixth Sense, and I had a ton of fun with it.
What drama genres do you especially like?
Romance Comedy or melo doesn’t matter as long as it comes with heart eyes and/or finger hearts. I also like slice-of-life.
What drama genres do you especially dislike?
I try to avoid anything violent, independent of genre. Other than that, I’m not a huge fan of procedurals or sci-fi or fantasy — but I will watch them if the right actors are involved (refer to question 2 re: flower boys).
What drama character would you want to be?
Hmm. It’d have to be one that owns a decked-out rooftop apartment overlooking Seoul. I don’t need chaebol money. Just 90 square meters of outdoor space to call home.
What was your major in school?
Sociology (followed by sociology and sociology), so I can’t help but view dramas from a social perspective.
What’s a random skill you have?
Burrito rolling. No joke. I’ve gotten more praise about my burrito rolling skills than things I actually went to school for. (On top of that, I will literally roll anything into a tortilla and call it a burrito. That might be a skill on its own.)
Which Hallyu celebrity would you actually want to meet and spend an hour with?
Lee Junho, circa 2013. Next question.
Which of the 7 deadly sins would be your undoing?
Gluttony, for sure. Sometimes when I’m eating I’m already thinking about my next meal.
Your favorite drama has an unholy alliance with your most hated drama and produces a mutant baby drama. Describe the plot.
A man and a woman meet but don’t realize they’ve also met in the past. As they fall in love, they learn they are both survivors of the same building collapse. The woman uses a magic watch to go back in time and try to stop the building from collapsing. She repeatedly fails. Each time she goes back she loses a little of her life, thus aging rapidly while everyone around her ages at a normal speed. In the present, the man and woman work together on creating a memorial for the victims of the building collapse, but she is elderly now and the young man no longer recognizes her. The woman stays angry about this until the man is diagnosed with a terminal illness. Then, plot twist, we find out that she is actually the one who has forgotten him.
