My first dramas were Meteor Garden (2001) and Strawberry on the Shortcake (2001), so I've been a drama fan for 20+ years. Princess Hours (2006) and Full House (2004) were the series that got me hooked on Kdramas... and Scarlet Heart (2011) was my introduction to mainland Cdramas. These days I'm really interested in wuxia and xianxia dramas, but my watchlist is alllll over the place.

Currently: I finished The Coroner's Diary 😁 I am reeling a little bit after finishing a couple of amazing shows, and I have so much on my plan-to-watch list, I'm not really sure what to do next. Love Is Sweet is apparently my palette cleanser, and I did check out ep 1 of Blossom. But not sure which show will be the one I really dive into next...

ฅ՞•ﻌ•՞ฅ   Feel free to add me here or on discord (_serenitea)! I love meeting others who love these shows.

🤓Then the star-rating gets based on the percentage: 

1.0-4.0 ⭐ I hated it and probably DNF'd it before rating, if I rated.
5.0-5.5 ⭐ OK, lots of flaws that can't be ignored
6.0-6.5 ⭐ almost good enough to ignore some flaws
7.0-7.5 ⭐ I liked it enough to ignore the flaws
8.0-8.5 ⭐ I really liked it, but it won't linger with me long afterward
9.0-9.5 ⭐ I loved it, I'll be thinking about it for a while but it wasn't perfect and I likely won't rewatch it
10.0 🌠 PERFECTION, might rewatch one day if I find the time
