I love writing reviews for movies and sometimes dramas that don't have any reviews or maybe just one. Though I…
I would be lying if I said the "helpful" clicks don't make me happy, coz it's always nice to see my work did pay off and someone found it, well... helpful hahaha that said, I am not sad if I don't get any "helpful" under review, it happens hahaha

Good luck with the "reviewing everything" challenge :) It's really rewarding if you truly stick to it :D

that's an interesting way of using notes! :) I usually use them to write down why I dropped the show hahaa coz that's something I often forget.

Thanks a lot for this inspiring article. I like the way you are dedramatizing the process and giving tips to help…
Thank you so much for such a nice comment :)

The spoilers in reviews are really hard thing to deal with. Especially since everyone has a bit different understanding on what a spoiler is. That's why I usually mark my reviews as "including spoilers" if I think something might be, as you said "spoiler-ish". I don't want to ruin someone's fun watching, just coz I was not sure about the spoiler part...

I agree with the opening about why write a review, the need to share my ideas. And I think this is the main problem…
Well, we can try working together to make our reviews shorter, coz it's something I definitely struggle with myself lol

I have to say, your comment helped me a lot. When I read that you wrote spoiler free review and added the spoiler part in comment - truly brilliant and I wish I knew about this idea earlier. Kind of frustrated it didn't cross my mind while writing all the reviews.

So thank you for enjoying my article, and thank you for sharing your experience and introducing to me this smart way of dealing with spoiler free reviews while discussing spoilers under hidden comment :)

It's as if you wrote this article just for me and looked deep into my drama soul. I started a blog for my review…
I am so happy you connected to whatever I wrote. I honestly always thought I hated writing coz I always felt like I need to write in a specific, proper way. But now that I write what I want in my own style, it's so much fun! Hope you will find some joy in writing too :)

better. One of them became a normal human being with stable job and nice personality. Good character development is always better than staying shitty but having bad things happen to you :)

I've written review barely.May be i should start writing reviews on a regular basis...Just to go back and remember…
this is definitely one of the advantages of writing reviews, since you can always go back and read them to find out what you liked/disliked about the show. I have so many dramas highly rated, but I truly remember close to nothing from them. If I had written reviews from them, it would be much easier :)

Hope you will be able to write some reviews this year :) Don't try to compare yours to others, coz we all have different views and ways of expressing them. They are all charming in their unique way.

"I'm sorry I was not able to address the most common complaint and issue "I'm too lazy". Sadly, I have no miracle…
A lot of people gave "I'm too lazy" as a reason for not writing reviews... but like... there is no way I am able to fix it for anyone hahha

It's not like everyone has to write reviews. If for someone just sharing their experience on feeds is enough - awesome. But I know people who would love to write reviews, but some things just block them. And that's kind of sad, coz most of the things are issues that can be fix or dealt with :(

and yes, the xDD just... at least memes were funny hahaha

Thankyou Kate for this article. I think I am overcoming the fear to write reviews. :) My biggest challenge will…
Funny thing about articles, my 1st one was extremely random an written out of frustration, coz I felt like I was the only one seeing the tragedy behind Extraordinary You ending, while everyone was just excided it was a "happy ending" hahaha before that I never planned to write any. While reviews I write for everything and I am really "organized" about it, articles are wild cards for me. I just write when a random idea comes to my mind hahaha

I wish you all the best luck with your first article then! The editors are more than helpful, so if you ever need any help, I am sure they will answer all the possible questions :)

Thank you for this article. When I first came across My drama list and its reviews, I really wondered what would…
It took me years to start writing reviews on mdl. At first I thought: it's not like I'm professional writer, what could I possible say about any show or a movie and why would anyone care. But at some point I decided to just share mu opinions, observations and experiences and it worked out quite well.
As for reviews for overlooked or unpopular dramas, chances are no one will read them. Happened to me more than once, especially with review for some horror movies. If there is not much audience, there aren't many people to read the review...

Thanks for writing this useful article. I like reading reviews before watching any drama on my list. Since I started…
The best way is to not compare what you write to others, as you said, everyone has their own opinions and the way they are expressing them.
And honestly, writing review without spoilers etc. is pretty hard, coz you need to explain your opinion but without giving any details that will support it hahaha

from my own experience, I was bullied and beat up in school for smiling too much and being too happy. It was bad enough I had to change school and was afraid to walk around my neighborhood alone. Maybe because of my own experience in the past, I did not question the bullying, reasoning behind it and the "easy" explanation, coz it was similar to what I went through in the past when I was younger. It's sad, but ridiculous things like that do happen, even if they might look like a soap opera from the outside.

Can somebody please explain the reason for bullying? What was the nonsense about the sky being clear that day????
basically it was a nice day and Hyun Soo ruined it for the guy, by offering him help coz "who he was to offer him help" as in they were not in the same class/social level. The bully took it as some low life taking pity on him and it pissed him off.
