I’m an introvert with a soft spot for romantic dramas, forever wandering this site like a treasure hunter in search of my next favourite.
I stick to talking about the dramas I love and quietly skip over the ones I don’t, because what doesn’t work for me might be someone else’s favourite. I’d rather not discourage anyone from giving a story a chance.

At first, I was watching exclusively K-dramas, but after a while they started to feel a bit repetitive. While exploring, I stumbled into the world of J-dramas, and it felt like discovering an entirely new flavour. K-dramas are polished, emotional, and beautifully presented, though they don’t experiment much. J-dramas, on the other hand, feel more natural and slice-of-life, often covering a wider range of topics—and sometimes they completely catch me off guard in ways I didn’t expect. These days, I find myself watching more J-dramas, though I still enjoy K-dramas just as much. I’ve tried C-dramas and others here and there, but they never quite pulled me in for different reasons.

Why I like a particular drama—now that is one of the greatest mysteries of the universe.
Jokes aside, for me it’s always a blend of a hundred little things. The mood I’m in, the cast’s charm, the magic in the storytelling, or just some unexplainable “click.” The deeper I tumbled into this dramaland rabbit hole, the more I started figuring out my own tastes. These days, I can usually guess what I’ll like… but every now and then, a drama I least expect sneaks in and becomes a new favourite. It’s like food—I have my comfort dishes, but sometimes an unplanned bite changes everything.

That’s all, folks!… Off to my next drama – Evanesco poof
