Feel free to send me a private message if you want to, but I don't take friend requests. I don't particularly care for collecting stamps or having lots of "online friends" I don't discuss with. This being said, as mentioned above, if you have a question, feel free to send me a message.

• No 'Dropped'  List  => Shows dropped are just not rated, nor listed just deleted.
• No 'To Be Watched ' List  => I don't subject myself to FOMO. I watch shows, when I feel like it.
• No 'On Hold' List => If it's 'On Hold', it's bound to end up dropped so I don't bother.
• Ratings only on Completed shows => Rated shows on my 'Currently Watching' List are shows I'm currently re-watching. Most important criterium for ratings is my level of enjoyment. I occasionally rerate shows dating from before 2020 up or down as I used to consider 'objective' parameters over my personal enjoyment. I no longer bother, anything is subjective anyway.

Note for ratings of BLs: 

I tend to be EXTREMELLY generous with BLs overall especially Thai BLs because:

1. The average quality (there's obviously exceptions) and production value of these shows is lower than their "straight counterpart" at present... but at least we're getting some and it's getting better. You've got to salute the effort. Though BLs were already very popular in my teenage years (we're talking late 90s here... yeah I'm old), the only thing available for non-asian speakers were BL mangas through obscure websites with your shitty internet connexion... BL shows were practically non existant。 So we've already come a long way. I'm still not satisfied with what we're getting but I salute the effort. At some point, BLs will be considered normal shows in Asia and receive the care they deserve but until then, I'm still gonna "overrate" them for their sheer existence.

2. Even some which I rated 1 actually deserve way less. So the genuinely good shows which I'd rate 8  for a "common" drama usually get a 9.5 is they're a Thai BL as long as I enjoyed it. This being said... I'm currently wondering if I might change that rule for GMMTV BLs. GMMTV has a "talent" for producing "mid shows" that is truly baffling. Their shows are neither good... nor bad, just passable... and they're consistent to the point that I'm starting to wonder if  they're not using some AI to write their scripts. We'll see... If in the future you come across this page and see a GMMTV show rated 5 or below... well you now where it's  coming from.
