When I first began to watch dramas I enjoyed everything cringy, clique and every trope that the writers could fit into a single series. I watched everything that was airing just for the sake of it. I watched blindly to the point of being burnout of the over top dramatic storylines and unnecessary plots that made some dramas do a complete 360. 3 years and over 100 completed dramas later I have begun to look critically at dramas from the actors, chemistry, storyline etc. I am still a sucker for romance and the cheesy lines that got me interested in Korean television in the first place.
Favourite Genre: Melodrama
Ranking Guide
10: "talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show-stopping..." zero complaints, moved me
9.5-9: amazing!! but did not shock have a profound impact on me
8.5-8: great! however not a unique enough storyline/ overused tropes and cliques
7.5-7: good, lighthearted watch however nothing special
6.5-6: ok, definitely some plot holes/poor writing or just bland overall
5.5-5: annoying, time-waster didn't feel anything
4.5-4: bad/confusing plot from the beginning, not even the talented actors could save the abomination these writers have created
3.5-3: precious time I can never get back
2.5-2: *sigh* do i need to explain?
1.5-1: dramas that should have never been made
Anything that isn't rated is either a show, a movie from another country and can't judge fairly
