That's what happened to me too. Before tokusatsu, I started out in watching wuxia shows from Hong Kong's TVB as a kid (well, they were dubbed in Vietnamese, and there were no English subtitles for these dramas back then), and I was able to transition to tokusatsu, and K-dramas because of that.

How odd that you and I started out as wuxia watcher and we became toku fans many years later (well, I became a K-drama fan too). But it's strange that toku fans don't branch out/crossover to wuxia dramas given the facts that wuxia shows are gaining more US audiences thanks to streaming like Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video.
