Hi everyone! I hope you had a happy new year. I am looking for someone to watch k-dramas with over Discord!

I'm a Chinese-American guy working as a software developer from home for a large corporation. You know, the dream? Totally living it. My roommate and I were having a discussion recently about how all of the good TV is starting to be made not in the US, but in Asia, specifically Korea. Unfortunately, I've only really watched maybe one or two k-dramas before. I was hoping to find someone that wanted to watch some of the best ones with me and get me started on a new fandom lol.

Here's some information about myself:

• I'm 29 years old and have been graduated for 6 years with a computer engineering degree. I got my current job October 2021!

• I used to have a cat back home, but now there's a big dog that belongs to my sister. I have a few pictures which are available on request.

• I love cooking and trying new recipes!

• I took 4 years of Mandarin Chinese in high school and am also very slowly teaching myself to read and write Japanese.

• I play a lot of games! Board games, video games, tabletop RPGs, if you've heard of it, I've probably played it. I own a PS5, PS4, PS2, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo New 3DS, PC, and Mac. Can you guess where my paychecks have been going? 😅

• I'm currently reading The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake. My favorite book series are the Gentlemen Bastards by Scott Lynch, the Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan (have you seen the Amazon series yet??), every single book from Brandon Sanderson, the Dune series by Frank Herbert (LOVED the movie, can't wait for part 2), the Greatcoats by Sebastien Castell, and the Riftwar Saga by Raymond E Feist.

I'm ideally looking for someone that, in addition to knowing a lot about k-dramas, also likes to read sci-fi/fantasy, plays a decent amount of video games, or likes to keep up with the tech world. I've found it's difficult to keep up a conversation without having at least one of these things in common. 😁

I am open to PMs on Reddit (my chats don't work well), but I also use and prefer texting or Discord, so I would like to move to that once we're ready to start watching. Thanks for reading! I hope to see orange envelopes from you soon!
