I'm a film fanatic and a beginner drama-watcher. I've only began watching dramas in 2023 when I have experienced some of the worst moments in my life, and casually watching K-dramas with my family helped me escape a bit from the pain of it all. Since then, I started watching dramas on my own, then pivoted to different countries to get a sensation of different stories all across the world.

I don't have a particular genre or trope I'm averted to or in favor of. My tastes aren't singular and defined by specific niche. I'm open to different stories, directing styles, character dynamics, etc. Basically, as long as it hits, it hits. While there's a specific charm in stories written in a conventional sense, I do admire works that surprise me and do the unexpected. Ones that are daring enough to escalate things, explore uncharted territories people are scared to step foot on, and make me question the world and my entire existence.

About my ratings: honestly, I don't take it too seriously and just go by my gut and by how much I feel like I took away from it. Whether it would be emotional fulfillment, mental stimulation, a new perspective on things, or a mix of everything. I don't have a criteria or rating guide because that would lead me to spiral and be indecisive, if I should let my heart or mind lead me.

I don't have a vast knowledge when it comes to film theory. However, I do have the tendency to be overtly critical towards things I consume (and be sorta pretentious about it, lol)...which is why you could see I'm not afraid to give low ratings on things.

Though, admittedly, I do throw away my critical lens, especially when I'm overridden with emotion Emotion defies all logic. It could objectively be the dumbest and cheesiest thing to ever exist, but if it moved me, best believe I will defend my love for it through the ends of the earth!
