Elle

Hi! I'm Elle, a 19-year-old woman whose therapies are asian dramas and movies. I started watching dramas on TV when I was 7 y/o, and started binge-watching at 11y/o. My love for asian dramas never faded ever since, and I decided to join MDL in 2021. Occasionally, I write reviews (although I don't publish them often). Feel free to add me as a friend and chat me if you ever have a concern or just wanted to say/ask something, though it might take a while for me to reply. Welcome to my profile! <3

★★★★★ | 9.5
These are the "masterpieces" I've watched. They are rated 9.5 because they have minor flaws, and since I haven't yet seen a show which is nominally perfect 10 for me. I can/will re-watch all of these multiple times though.

•  No Drop List 
  ⤷ The shows I dropped are not listed. Either I deleted it or never included it in this list 'cause I often rather endure finishing a bad show than drop one.

★★★★✮ | 8.5 - 9
It is remarkable, but some of its aspects (the plot, character/s, depth, pacing, etc.) made me deduct points and it has minor flaws that are difficult to overlook. Still, I hold it dearly in my heart.

•  No On Hold List 
  ⤷ If it's 'on hold' then either I let it remain in "currently watching" (if I'm still considering to finish) or I delete it in my list.

★★★★☆ | 7 - 8
They are honestly good but sadly, it fell short on many aspects that it lost its charm. It could also be that I'm disappointed with how it was wrapped up, or because it didn't live to what it promised.

•  No To Be Watched List 
  ⤷ I generally don't want to commit to watch a drama (with some exceptions), so I don't use this feature.

★★★✮☆ | 5 - 6.5
Horrible... I should have spent my time on other worthy shows out there. I only finished it because I usually don't want to drop dramas and I tried giving it another chance.

•  Currently Watching 
  ⤷ This list is a mix of dramas I am currently watching, re-watching or on hold. I watch any in that list on random days.

★★★☆☆ | below 5
I never rate below 5 'cause I feel bad to give low ratings lmao. If I came across a show that doesn't even deserve 5, I won't put it in my list.

•  Rating Reference 
  ᯽ high-rated ➢ 8.5 and above
