Rei’s Review Official K-Drama Rating Scale

1 – Dumpster Fire 🔥🗑️
 A complete disaster. Bad writing, bad acting, bad direction—nothing is salvageable. Watching this is an act of self-sabotage.

2-4 – Painful to Watch 🤦‍♂️
 Flawed beyond redemption. Maybe one or two elements (like a good actor) tried to save it, but the script, pacing, or execution made it a struggle to get through. Would not recommend.

5-6 – Mediocre at Best 😐
 Not offensively bad, but not good either. Maybe some moments shine, but overall, it lacks impact, memorability, or strong execution. If you’re bored, sure—but don’t expect much.

7 – Decent but Flawed 👍
 A solid watch with good moments, but noticeable issues keep it from greatness. It’s enjoyable if you’re in the right mood, but it won’t leave a lasting impact.

8 – Great, Worth Watching 🔥
 Strong performances, engaging storytelling, and solid execution. Maybe a few flaws here and there, but overall, a drama that delivers and is worth the time.

9 – Exceptional, Must-Watch 🌟
 An elite-tier drama with stunning performances, gripping storytelling, and excellent execution. Minor flaws might exist, but they don’t overshadow the brilliance. Highly recommended.

10 – Magnum Opus 🏆
 Not just a masterpiece—this is a defining work in its genre. A drama that transcends expectations, leaves a lasting emotional impact, and sets the bar so high that others struggle to compete. This is the peak of storytelling.
