| ABOUT ME |
- Millenial
- Cancer (do I believe in astrology? not really)
- INTJ-A (do I believe in MBTI? so-so)
- Nerdy and (mostly) organized
- I enjoy exchanging opinions and constructive discussions; it's fine if we disagree as long as we keep it civil (check out friend request policy below) |
| DRAMAWORLD EXPERIENCE |
- started watching Asian dramas in 2017, Korean first and slowly included Chinese, Taiwanese, Japanese and Thai; currently I'm mostly watching Chinese and Japanese dramas because they fit my mood at the moment
- first drama: Stranger (I fell in love with Asian cinema and never looked back)
- first movie: The Handmaiden (it was a bit shocking, not gonna lie) |
Favorite genres:
Mystery
Supernatural
Fantasy | Least favorite genres:
Horror
Political |
Preferred in dramas:
Romance
Well written ending (preferably happy) | To avoid if possible:
Corruption
Bullying
Dead fish kisses |
- story is more important that genre (I can watch almost anything as long as it has an interesting plot)
- something between plan watcher and mood watcher (not having any kind of plan often throws me into a drama slump)
- almost never rewatching dramas (unless I don't feel like watching anything new and nostalgia hits me)
- suffering from NDD (my Dropped list is just the second level of On Hold, I will complete those dramas eventually because I hate unfinished business)
- never suffering from SLS (I sympathize with those poor guys but I'm not investing myself emotionally for nothing)
- usually put off by the hype around dramas (I don't trust the ratings very much)

| FRIEND REQUEST POLICY |
| Feel free to send me a friend request. I mostly interact in Feeds and comment sections, but I'm not against messages. I might not reply immediately though, in case I haven't seen the message or I need time to write a proper reply or I have disappeared from MDL for some time - so don't think I'm ignoring you. If you receive a friend request from me, it means we previously had interesting interactions and/or I like your posts and comments. I'm a bit socially awkward but nice and peaceful person who doesn't bite unless really provoked. |
| RATING SYSTEM |
| Rating reflects my overall feeling about a drama/movie. I rate based on enjoyment but try to be as objective is possible. I tend to look for positive sides first when forming an opinion. In some cases I might give a slightly higher or lower rating if I particularly liked or disliked something. I never give ratings lower than 5 in appreciation of efforts of everyone involved in making of a drama/movie. Anything I rated below 7 - wouldn't really recommend. |
| RATING CRITERIA |
| PRIMARY | Story
Acting
Execution of the plot |
| SECONDARY | Cinematography
Music |
| IRRELEVANT | Rewatch value
My preference for actors |
