Hey, I joined MDL last year, however I started watching K/C-dramas for a longer period. I don't remember the exact date, but I'm sure it was around 2024. I would love to connect with people who have similar taste in dramas and maybe watch dramas together and chat about them. As for my friends, they say something like this, laughing "All you talk about is C-dramas. No matter what topic I mention, you will always find the chance to bring up C-dramas" They miss a lot not watching c-dramas, so stubborn.
For K-dramas, I mainly watch thriller, mystery. For now I don't watch rom k-dramas, even thought I used to. Actually the last months i didn't watch any k-dramas, so now I'm full focus on C-dramas. I haven't watched many J-dramas, however I love Japanese old movies, with 2000s aesthetic. I also watch anime, but not that much and only the mystery/sci-fi ones. Well as for C-dramas that's where I mainly watch idol-romance, however I still don't watch sweet or fluffy like high school romance or xianxia (even thought there is exception for some dramas, like my fave L&P which is high school drama, but i wouldn't call it fluffy that much)
OPINION, no hate to any c-dramas:
However lately I have had hard time forcing myself to watch ongoing c-dramas idol-historical, I won't point out the name, but they're too cliche for me. Sometimes I think C-dramas are going a bit downhill, however I'm sure next year will be better (for me) there are many anticipated c-dramas, that i'm sure will be worth the wait. I read somewhere that now c-dramas will be more focusing on storyline, rather than on traffic stars. My biggest disappointment is that some idol-actors CAN act, however they not get the best scripts...Maybe I'm growing. So I'm more focusing on older ones that i missed and aren't purely "Idol" or romance. I'm planning to watch the older ones like story of Yanxi and nirvana in fire. Currently watching and enjoying: A prophet, the knockout, legend of magnate.

I'm also learning Japanese and Chinese, yet I'm so lazy that rarely make any real progress. As people say learning language is not a sprint, but a marathon so I take my time.
Lastly, I'm not native English speaker. So I make a lot of mistakes while writing in English. :-)
