Quick Note on My Ratings

These ratings are totally personal—just based on how much I enjoyed something and how emotionally connected I felt while watching. I’m not a critic or anything, and I definitely don’t have the technical background to judge things “objectively.”

Here’s how I roughly rate stuff:

• 10 – Absolutely loved it. It hit me right in the feels from start to finish. Probably cried, cheered, or sat there afterward just thinking, wow.

• 9 – 9.5 – Super enjoyable and almost perfect—just missing that little emotional spark to bump it to a 10.

• 8 – 8.5 – I liked it! Maybe a scene or character didn’t land, or it just didn’t stay with me as strongly.

• 6.5 – 7.5 – A solid watch. Not super exciting, but still had some good moments. Sometimes these started strong but lost steam.

• 5 – 6 – Meh. Either I was bored, didn’t vibe with it, or found something about it kind of irritating.

• Below 5 – I rarely go here because I usually drop stuff if I’m not enjoying it. For dramas, I don’t rate anything I didn’t finish (life’s too short). For movies, if I finished it but didn’t like it at all, it goes here.

Caveat: I’ve been watching K-dramas since 2002, so some of my ratings reflect how I felt at the time rather than how they’d hold up today. Also, I’m way more into character-driven stories than plot-heavy ones, so that definitely influences how I rate things too!
