Honorable mentions:

While I didn't quite love The First Frost , the mood it created was just ✨.

Meteor Garden as my first C-drama ever, Go ahead and Falling into your smile as the C-dramas that got me into the genre.

Favourite anime: Shinrei Tantei Yakumo/Spirited away | Favourite western series: Lie to me | Favourite movie: Conjuring Curse

Still waiting on developing a liking for Thai and Filipino Dramas, so if you have any recommendations, hit me up!

My preferred genres and criteria change with my capacities, so let's say I'm open for anything, just not at any moment. Also, I'm a mood watcher with No Drop Disease which makes for an awesome combination.

My list:

Currently Watching = Genuinely like these and will take my time to watch

On-Hold = Not bad, but not in the mood/ will watch in-between or when doing other things

Dropped = Moral issues/not available for streaming/ didn't like and doubt that'll change

Not Interested = Not available/Hard pass/Nothing stirred my interest

Plan to watch = Literally every drama I ever encountered that didn't fit the above categories

Inconsistency is my biggest consistency, hence my rating system will only make sense if you're living inside my brain (which I don't recommend, it's messy). Instead, I try writing reviews whenever I find proper wording to express my thoughts, those give you a lot clearer insight of what I liked (or didn't like) about a drama.

Some general guidelines:

5 = Bare minimum fulfilled. Anything below was seriously lacking things I consider fundamental.

5-6.5 = Not worth my time, but had at least one element I thought was (very) well-made

7-7.5 = Some issues corrupted my watching experience

8 = Good as a one-time watch but probably won't rewatch

8.5 = I was highly entertained but now can't unsee the issues.

9 = I loved it but not enough to obsess over it.

10 = This changed my life, I'm obsessed and any criticism will be taken personally.

PS: I'm getting more critical with my ratings the more I watch. It's fairly easy to disappoint me. If you're rather 'disappointment-proof', don't feel offended by any rating I give. Talk about it, share your enthusiasm with me! Same goes of course if you think I'm rating too nicely, but that issue might fix itself with increasing drama watching experience.

Rating will differ on the drama`s "intention" and circumstances (i.e. format, genre, budget, target group), my expectations as well as my enjoyment while watching and the aftertaste after finishing. Those will be added onto a more "objective" view by following criteria.

Things I look out for:

Characters, their chemistry & their development (main & side)
Music (composition & use)
Story (plot & pacing)
Acting
Facts & knowledge
Setting
Potential fulfilment

Things I barely look at because I wouldn't know what I'm saying anyways:

Camera (angles, movement, pacing)
Editing
Make-up and costume
More detailed acting
Facts & knowledge I have no clue about

Things I love:

Green flag/Healthy relationships (of any kind, not just romantic)
Complex plot/relations/characters
No or minor plotholes only
Great OST used well
"Realistic" display of emotions, reduced drama

Things I can only bear in small doses:

Love triangles
Love rivals going rogue
Couple angst
Second chance relationships
Amnesia
Time travel
Screaming/yelling
Plotholes
Violence/Gore
High drama
Clichés and tropes
Misinformation
Things that would be considered red flags irl but seem cool and romantic on TV

Things I can't stand:

Onedimensional antagonists
Characters acting out of character
Main characters without a grain of integrity
Overuse of clichés and tropes
False information on important matters
Red flags
Big plotholes/inconsistencies
