In my own experience, I am really addicted in watching k/c-dramas, it all started when I was in 6th grade when my friend asked a favor to me to watch her favorite drama and I did watch it and after watching it I asked for more until I got addicted to it to the point that it became my stress reliever and my only happiness but then I realized that it really affects my grade so I decided to have limitations in watching but now I know how and when to stop especially when I have a lot of school works or tasks to do. For me, it's not really easy to quit from any addiction but if you really want to, you should try your very best to follow the ways above.
