The Ultimate K-Drama Starter Kit: 8 Essentials You’ll Need If You Want to Get into K-Drama
May 24, 2020 • Bianca Katipunan
If this quarantine has led to you to pull all-nighters with K-Dramas, you’re not alone. One doesn’t just watch one or two episodes; K-Dramas are meant to be binged. So for your next K-Drama session, here are some things you’ll need to achieve that perfect K-Drama marathon.
Fast Internet
High-speed internet is a must for every K-Drama fan, because nobody wants to see the video buffering right in the middle of a nail-biting scene. Also, a laptop with a long battery life is also a must-have because you don’t want to have to charge it every three or so hours when you’re binge-watching a K-Drama.
Snacks To Help You Stay Awake
If you plan on finishing a K-Drama in one sitting, you better bring snacks! We suggest buying some Ramen and Kimchi for that legit Korean feels. For that all-nighter, you should also drink a lot — and we mean A LOT — of coffee.
Tissue And More Tissue
When a heartbreaking scene comes on and you need to cry, better get a lot of tissues ready, because you’re in for an emotional rollercoaster.
A Lot Of Time
To finish a K-Drama, you’ll need tons of time since a K-Drama episode may last up to an hour, sometimes even an hour and thirty minutes. So better finish all your work in time to enjoy watching your pending K-Drama non-stop.
(Or watch one of these short k-dramas:)
Good Eyesight
You need good eyesight to read all the subtitles, because when a character is speaking very fast, the subtitles just fly by. Or, y’know, you could also try learning how to speak Korean so you won’t have to rely on the subs anymore.
Friends To Freak Out With
Watching K-Dramas is no fun if you don’t have anybody to gush about them with. Otherwise, what would you do with all those feels? Having fellow K-Drama addicts as friends makes the experience more fun because you can debrief after each episode and process your feelings together. Call it a support group, if you will.
A Stan Twitter Account
Twitter is an outlet where you can let out all your feels! You can make a stan twitter account where you can tweet about the lastest K-Drama your watching. You can also look for HD pictures of your oppa and watch a lot of memorable clips of K-Dramas so you’ll never run out of updates. Go on, feed your obsession.
