i'm phob (or phoebe!), a 23 year old from scotland. former animation student & hobbyist writer/artist/graphic designer/coder with an interest in getting into translation one day. also, i'm an aspie! things i like besides dramas include; character creation, video games (esp final fantasy & spyro), animation and, honestly...cats...really love cats
i;m big kim jaejoong & kamenashi kazuya fan!
my all-time favourite drama is tatta hitotsu no koi but nobuta wo produce is a worthy second. unsurprisingly, kamenashi kazuya is my favourite actor.
i mostly watch japanese & korean dramas but i watch a lot of movies in general. i started with j-dramas in 2008 and didn't really get into k-dramas until 2014 (my first attempt at watching a kdrama was 2010 but i dropped it).
first j-drama: minimoni bremen town musicians (??? lmao). first completed j-drama: nobuta wo produce (i think) first k-drama: boys over flowers first completed k-drama: triangle
i don't really have a fav genre and tend to judge dramas as they are but i love darker, more dramatic stuff! i like dramas that make me cry! love triangles annoy me and i'm not a fan of melodramas or anything too cutesy/saccharine. dramas about rich people drama don't usually appeal to me. honestly, though, a really good protagonist can save any genre. i tend to pick up new dramas based on the cast and/or plot description. however, i do also love a nice feel-good drama too. sometimes i'm just here to have a good time.
my on-hold list is long because i never finish anything, even if i'm enjoying it. my list does not include every film i've watched because i've watched a lot and i can't remember them all (esp japanese films)! nothing on my list is rated right now because i'm not very good at rating stuff but also because i usually just drop stuff and forget about it if i don't like it? or it permanently ends up on my on-hold list if i'm not that into it, oops...
i don't binge watch anything. as a matter of fact, i'm far more likely to forget to continue a drama as soon as i get distracted even if i'm REALLY enjoying it. attention span whomst...
all of my fav drama leads get stabbed and it's not fair /:
i listen to a lot of j-pop & k-pop (mostly 2nd Gen but i like a lot of newer groups too). KAT-TUN and JYJ are my favourite groups from each, respectively, and kim jaejoong is my favourite solo artist (besides GACKT). despite the fact those are all male artists, i'm actually a BIG girlgroup fan.
