Starter drama's
Like anyone sometimes you stumble upon something totally random and you have a moment to either try it or admit the mistake and forget it for me I'm a massive reader from normal hardback and paperback to manga and online webtoon and that is where I stumbled upon some amazing webtoon that happened to have been made into drama's only problem was those dramas were Korean, not English so I was facing calling it a day and live with the disappointment or suck it up and read the subtitles and see what it was all about and I did. I found myself hooked staying up all night long to finish it all and since then I have hungry watched drama after drama starting with Korean ones moving to movies then Japan, Chinese, Thailand, and Taiwan over the last few months it has become more likely you will see me watching this drama that tv here and I love it.
The weirdest thing is once you open the door you get sucked into other things to like their music and picking up words while watching programmes and it really is fun and I'm glad I took the chance and started watching them.
Like anything new jumping into it head first might not always be the best way some dramas are a lot harder to follow than others and I thought for all the new comer's list start with beginners watch list this is my top ten starter programs for those just starting out

When a young, energetic employee joins a public relations firm with an introverted and severely misunderstood boss, she makes it her life’s mission to show the world who he really is.
Eun Hwan Ki is the boss at a PR company. He is really shy. So shy that even his employees don't know him that well. He prefers to hide in his office. Everyone thinks he is a cold, prickly, arrogant grouch.They call him the "Silent Monster".
Chae Ro Woon is a recent hire at the same company. She is energetic, bubbly, loves to be the center of attention and always has something to say. The exact opposite of her boss, who she seems to have an old grudge against. Her goal in life is: to expose the big boss man for who he really is and take her revenge.
The same company also employs Kang Woo-Il, co-boss at the company. He, unlike his partner, is warm, sensitive and well-liked.
Eun Yi Soo is a chaebol heiress who has been engaged for three long years.
Great acting, funny and wow I loved the music in the drama too. The romance was gone and even like the work-related problems too.

Eun Dae Gu, Uh Soo Sun, Park Tae Il and Ji Gook - otherwise known as the P4 - are the new recruits in the violent crime unit at Gangnam Police Station. These rookies are neither enthusiastic nor passionate about their new jobs and have joined the crime squad for varying but unbefitting reasons. They are lead by an erratic and hot-headed Seo Pan Suk who wants nothing more than to wash his hand off of the incompetent new recruits.
I loved this drama not only because the main male lead to totally dreamy but before it had an amazing story and such good acting and loved how it just worked

He is known for his good looks and his strong passion for music but is in reality a cold person who is uninterested in non-music related things and has no dreams nor plans for the future. Shin initially likes a dance professor at his university, but this all changes when he meets Lee Kyu Won.

This drama is about a family that lives on the outskirts of Seoul. Byun Han Soo is the father and His wife, Na Yeong Shil is a dedicated, responsible mother to his three daughters and one son including Hye Yeong, Mi Yeong, Ra Yeong, and Joon Young. Suddenly one day, Ahn Joong Hee shows up at the household and declares that he is the son of the family. Joong Hee is an actor who used to be a member of an idol group. He begins to live with them.
This is longer than most of the drama on the list at 52 episode at 1 hour each but don't let that put you off its well worth watching just for Lee Joon one of my favorite actors and he is great in this family feel-good drama.

This story tells of doctors stationed in the fictional war zone of Urk (Uruk), and follows the love story that develops between a surgeon, Kang Mo Yeon' and a special forces officer, Yoo Shi Jin, both elite in their respective fields. The story will track both their personal and professional struggles while exploring issues about the value of life.
I've rewatched this so many times and it's not just because half the actors are dress in military uniform and are fine its because the drama is solid and great to watch I did not get half way and want to give up it just flowed really well and before I knew it I had finished. Heads up the leads in this are married in real life.
