Hello everyone! It is my first post here. I've been watching dramas for about 6 yrs now. I'm a drama-addict, but especially addicted to fan-subbing. I'm part of a fan-subbing team and "time" subtitles...a translator gives me a notepad file w/line by line translation, then I apply it to the video. I love it because I have to listen to the video closely and figure out where the subs should come out. Timing really really helped w/ my ability to hear Korean. It is a great hobby for someone like me...I love dramas and learning Korean. So, if anyone is interested, just let me know. Warning... it is a time consuming hobby- it takes me 4-6 hrs per episode.
My first drama was Winter Ballad (super melodrama!), but I was hooked. I like the longer family dramas for learning Korean culture...the tiny details of what to make for dinner can be an issue in these dramas. These days, I'm following SBS's Happiness. I like saguek dramas too and am excited about KBS's Kingdom of The Wind, which continues the Jumong story. Of course, the saguek dramas aren't the best for learning everyday Korean.
