K-dramas are a gateway drug ( ³⌓³)

These days I've been watching a lot of Kdrama. Usually I alternate between watching only kdramas and watching only anime every few weeks but for most of this year I've been watching kdramas. Its weird.

I remember I would finish every anime I started even if I kinda didn't like it. Like with Clannad! Clannad is a slice of life anime but I thought it was an shonen type anime so I watched the whole first season, second season, movie and OVAs thinking that "something would happen" because to me slice of lifes are very VERY boring. In the end I still don't like Clannad and I wasted time watching the whole thing. I kept doing this until at one point I was complaining to my friend Bree about a terribad anime I was watching when she goes "If you don't like it then just stop watching it". Which of course is common sense but my wanting to know how the anime ended subconsciously overruled how bored/silly I thought the anime was. Since then I've been kind of half watching animes. In almost every anime there's those few slow or filler episodes in the middle so before where I would have watched them, I just stop watching the anime entirely.

Kdramas for some reason are not like that for me luckily haha. I think I'll have to "force" myself to go on an anime binge soon. There's a lot of characters on r/anime and at the recent anime cons I went to that I don't recognize at all. I'll probably start with Tokyo Ghoul and Shokugeki no Souma since I've heard good things about them.
