Introductions


A few words about myself:

My passion for everything Asia-related, began when I was only a child. Ever since I can remember I watched anime on TV, ranging from well-known and well-liked Japanese anime “Dragon Ball”, through the “Pokémon” and “Sailor Moon”, to the master’s Hayao Miyazaki full-length films. Then, as a teenager, I began to read shoujo mangas.

My adventure with Asian dramas started about 6 years ago. The first drama I ever watched was the Japanese 1 Litre of Tears. Initially limited to Japanese dramas, I marveled at Japanese idols appearing in dramas. I even started to listen to Japanese music, but limited myself only to the drama OST’s.
