Call me Ysa! 

I watch dramas during hours when the house world feels a little less loud. I have been watching since 2016, and somewhere along the way, what started as curiosity became a constant. 

I sit with stories. I replay scenes. I think about lines that weren’t said out loud. If a drama leaves me staring at the ceiling after the credits roll, that usually means it did something right.

Starting 2026, I decided to be more intentional about writing and posting reviews and on feeds. I’ve realized I’ve been taking notes for years anyway. I finally have the drive to put those thoughts somewhere instead of carrying them around alone.

If you see me posting reviews of titles I have long marked finished watching, then it's me going through my notes, finally bringing them into life. 

Also, I'm still updating my completed list!

🌷 What I look for

I tend to look for dramas that let me pause and reflect. Stories where emotions aren’t always spoken out loud, where silence matters as much as dialogue, and where characters feel slightly unfinished, like real people. 

I watch because stories slow me down when life doesn’t. Because sometimes, it’s easier to understand my own feelings through someone else’s. Because pain in fiction makes real-life emotions feel less lonely.

¹ I tend to carry the pain to real life, 
though I still rarely watch when I'm mentally ready.

⭐ How I rate

When I first started watching dramas, I used to sit through everything I started, even if I wasn’t enjoying it, just for the sake of completion. Over time, I learned that some dramas just won't get any better, and not knowing how it ends might me the best ending.

✨ Looking ahead

I’m always open to any recommendations, especially stories with strong writing, thoughtful world-building, and character-driven narratives. I am a sucker for good music, cinematography and dialogues. And tell me how it ends! If it feels like a story that might linger, I’ll probably want to watch it.

Feel free to strike up a conversation anytime. Slide through my DMs or interact with my posts/comments! I’m happy to chat as long as it stays respectful and not too privacy intrusive.
