10 Star Rating Scale
10/10 - Obsessed, a masterpiece, a favorite; unforgettable, emotionally impactful, near perfection; strong storytelling, acting, cinematography, & execution; definitely a rewatch
9/10 - Excellent; emotionally engaging w/ strong storytelling & compelling characters; some flaws here & there, but overall very enjoyable
8/10 - Great; enjoyable & captivating with a memorable story; some flaws here and there, but the good outweighed the bad; great overall w/ some weaker moments; if drama is simple (w/ not much plot) but is still engaging
7/10 - Good and bad (flawed); a decent watch w/ some enjoyable elements, but with things that held it back; not extraordinary; conspicuous flaws; unlikely to rewatch
6/10 - Had potential but did not deliver; some good moments but overall forgettable and lacking impact & spark; notable flaws; won't stick with me
5/10 - Mid / forgettable; meh~ nothing stood out; did not bring me much feelings; probably just watched it & moved on
4-1/10 - Mediocre; did not enjoy; plot not enjoyable + characters not likeable
*Nowadays, I try my best to avoid dramas if I feel I'll rate it below 7. 

I also don't write reviews (as you can tell). When I finish a drama, if I feel like it, I will jot down notes about it, my thoughts, pros and cons, etc., and gradually start to add them into the notes of each respective drama as I'm not one to make a polished review.(Just started doing this with the historical C-dramas I've watched)
