Andrew’s passion for digital media started when he was seven years old, sparked by the demo mode of a bootleg Super Famicom in a store window. That spark grew into a lifelong love for gaming and animation, especially works with a strong narrative and/or stylish action.

He also finds time to sneak in the occasional anime (usually shounen, drama, or fantasy).

Angela’s roots are in Chinese drama and Cpop, but she started watching Korean drama because she loved the intense acting and weaving plotlines…and the pretty people didn’t hurt either. With thousands of hours and genres under her belt since 2002 she is a bona fide Korean drama professional. Her passion for Korean drama quickly spilled over to Korean variety shows and Kpop as well. To pass the rest of her time, she agonizes over leading the branding and marketing for a startup.

Kemmie is a writer, an avid reader, and art lover who enjoys seeing the humor in everything. She fell in love with K-dramas after seeing Boys Over Flowers, and since then, she has grown to love Kpop culture and everything Hallyu. When she’s not busy with TV and music, she spends her time obsessing over the length of her hair, or working as a freelance content creator for various online platforms.

Monisha’s first drama was Boys Over Flowers back in 2010. Ever since then, she’s been watching Korean dramas (and of course, crying over some of them), and with so many different genres and stories, she’s never bored. As an avid fan, with a passion for writing, her drama addiction led her to start critiquing and reviewing dramas. When she’s not watching dramas though, Monisha attends university where she is double majoring in English and Media Studies.

Like many others, Miguel had his first taste of anime without realizing it. During the early years he was exposed to Macross, Dragon Quest, and Saint Seiya. Years later, Dragon Ball and Ranma were on the air, but it was also the time when much older fans traded anime VHS tapes; some such tapes his brother got had the GUNNM OVA, the Ghost in the Shell movie, and the first episodes of Evangelion. It perhaps were those tapes that most marked the impressionable mind of his 9 year old self. Alas, most of the busy hours are taken up by a nanotechnology graduate program.

When she was a 5th grader, Jazmine’s preference when it comes to TV shows was a bit different from what kids that age usually watch. She was hooked on Korean dramas and stayed up late watching these series. In 2009, as she was browsing through music channels, she came upon a Kpop music video and just like magic, she instantly became addicted. Not so long after, she started watching Korean variety shows and loved all things Korean. When she’s not fangirling about her oppas and unnies, she spends her time as a researcher at a publishing company.
