i am always seated if a drama involves dark mysteries, not-insta but eventually Devoted (he cannot breathe without her) male lead, down-to-earth romances (not to be confused with fully slice of life), underdog stories, morally grey characters
if done well, i love revenge dramas, university settings, law dramas, relatively recent historical (not beyond 19th century) dramas, athlete characters, time travel, low fantasy, rom-coms
i am interested in exploring sci-fi settings
i don't like when dramas have a preachy tone, insta-love, love triangles where the second lead is just wasting my screen time, zero-growth characters (or when they're perfect all the time)

rating system:
i don't rate dropped dramas unless i have seen at least half of it. depending on the reason i dropped it i rate it 1-6.5.
7+ means i enjoyed it
8+ means it was memorable
9+ loved it !
