Heyaaaa beautiful people!!!! 🌈

I'm just your average kpop and kdrama fan who loves listening to music & watching dramas from various genres, predominantly originating from S. Korea. Even though I like many groups, there's only 1 group that has managed to entirely capture my heart & soul.

My fave kpop girlies are of course the ONE &  ONLY, the UNRIVALED QUEENS 🥁*drum roll* 🥁 

🎶"I say Mama~ Mama~ Moo~"🎶(If you haven't heard their intro even once, do yourself and your ears a favor, and listen to it right now! I swear their harmonies will melt your ears & open the gates of heaven 😇)

I've got about A MILLION shows on my "to watch" list and have only finished a handful of them. With how things are going, I don't think I'll be able to make a dent in my lengthy list anytime soon 🫠

My way of watching dramas is a complete mess cause I tend to start one work, then switch over to another, hyper fixate on something else & then come back to the first one again lol. Most often, I have at least 3-4 dramas going at the same time, & will sometimes even take months to finish the last 2 episodes of a show 😅

Ratings - I like to think of my rating system as 'strict' but subjective, since there's a certain 'personal standard' I hold dramas up to now that I've been watching them for a while. It's become almost intuitive to me now, while watching, I'll automatically start thinking of a number to give the show and no longer have to rack my brain on how enjoyable it was, it just rallies up the numbers by itself now <3

I love well-made shows with good acting, directing, editing and cinematography but do still appreciate works from smaller productions if the plot seems intriguing. I mostly rate shows based on how it made me feel, whether I liked the characters, how memorable it was, but also the overall production quality, and that can sometimes lead me to rate dramas a little differently than the general consensus (higher or lower). I also do not hesitate to drop dramas now (I for the life of me could not do that 3 years ago lol) which is why most of my dramas are rated between the 7.0 to 10.0 range. Anything below a 6.0 is just horrendous, and I'll either end up dropping it before I finish it, to spare myself the low rating, or I power through by rage-watching just to see how bad it gets (which rarely ever happens).

Things I ❌Hate❌ in Dramas:

• Sexualization of minors/incest

• Romanticization of stalking/abuse

• Non-existent storyline/plot (aka boring)

• Unnecessarily helpless Female Lead

• No character development/character regression

• Overly toxic/abusive Male/Female Lead

• Plot holes & random/badly executed PPLs
