couldn't this also apply to both a series and movie version of a BL?Indie Art Girl:
I actually don't know. There are a couple series like that in my completed list (but I did not add the unwatched counterparts). The only series I've seen both drama and movie is Semantic Error. But this obviously doesn't apply 'cause I've watched both.
but mostly because I feel like I'm encouraging the BL industry.p43425:
what do you think of the above case?

I had no idea about this! Now there's even more work for me to do on this website. =))
The nice thing is that once you click on the first ep you can click through to all the rest pretty quickly. A pop-up appears if you want to submit a review, which I don't, so I delete it. It's kinda annoying to do that repeatedly.
MDL is having issues rn. At least on my mac it is.

Yes, this is also a good point. Where there's a series and an essentially identical movie version (which mostly means KBLs), I likewise rate both by my exact same rationale (i.e. my rating is relevant to both listings, so in my opinion, it's honest and fair).
As to which version I actually watch, it depends: Because the movie versions usually come out later, it might be that I've already watched the series, but where I have a choice, I look at the reviews and comments to determine whether the movie version has been over-edited; if not (i.e. if I conclude that the movie version basically just eliminates redundant "next episode" and "previous episode" highlights), I'll generally opt for the more convenient movie version.
I don't rate individual episodes because I'm not sure anyone looks at these episode ratings (or does it affect the overall rating?), but most of all because I'm a lazy git.

I hope that answers your question.
(i.e. if I conclude that the movie version basically just eliminates redundant "next episode" and "previous episode" highlights)
Yep, this happened with Semantic Error. I wasted hours of my life watching the movie and concluded there wasn't anything new in it. Granted I watched the movie last year, so there was enough distance between it and the drama version.
I would still feel wary of rating the movie/drama of a drama/movie, but maybe I shouldn't be.
Does everyone know about rating each episode in the series, which can boost the rating a bit as well?
yes! i always rate every episode i watch, i think it's really fun. i'm usually more gracious with episode ratings than i am with rating the whole series, and i take it a little less seriously lol

Cool! Yeah me too. Once or twice I was really disappointed with an episode in an otherwise good drama and I did rate it a little lower. But I'm usually fairly generous. Same for my overall rating. But if I REALLY didn't like smth I have no problem going low. 😆
Lmao, thanks. Reading your comment made me genuinely laugh.
YES I made someone laugh that's a good thing but genuinely I love how organised you are
Same here. Cut version just doesn't cut it for me lol Not when there are definitely more scenes in the uncut one. That's a good point! For this reason alone, I should rate both versions. Thanks for chiming in about this, I was honestly wondering what I should do.
I want to support my favorite series too! ^^
I also always watch the uncut version it also tends to be better than the cut one for some reason.
I hope we get a S2! I'm doing great!
I watch cut versions I guess, since most of the titles don't say otherwise. Does that mean I can record both too? Sometimes I only have the uncut version to watch. But if I count both isn't it giving me double stats for one watch?
Yeah same It actually was very fun to watch I am def hoping that more Western media will do something like that in the future. Or take a look at Eastern media that hits just right a lot of times when they make BL's
