✍️ DRAMAS I WROTE ARTICLES ABOUT
In this list, I put: the article title (with the link), article type, publish date, co-writer (if any, either as the main writer or the secondary writer), article summary, and special note (if any). The dramas are sorted alphabetically for easy search.
This list is created because I am tired of getting messages that I have exceeded 60000 characters when adding my articles info onto my profile page!
I also realized I wrote more articles on individual dramas, as they are my favorite type of article to write. Since I spent time writing a specific drama, it means I recommended 99% of the dramas leaving 1% for a disclaimer!
About article type:
- Currently Watching. Written while watching a currently airing drama, it covers approximately 1/4 of the drama. It contains LIGHT SPOILER. Even when it finished airing, the article can be recommended to someone who hasn't watched it yet, as mostly only spoils the main/key characters to a certain episode.
- Drama Recap. Written after a drama finishes airing, it covers the entire drama. It contains MEDIUM SPOILER but mostly doesn't spoil the main plot. Read if you don't mind spoilers,
- Editorial. Written after a drama finishes airing, it covers a certain topic of the drama. It contains HEAVY SPOILER on the characters and scenes as needed to cover the topic but mostly doesn't spoil the main plot. I recommend you watch the drama first.
