My Carrd
I don't like long dramas, I lose interest very quickly. But short dramas also make me wary about the pacing of the story. I always prefer something fantastic, magical or with cultivation—whether in series and movies or in books and games. But lately I've been watching more current dramas.
✖ I hate sad endings, childish Leads, unnecessary and unending misunderstandings, overacting, love triangles, meaningless female rivalry, Not-Like-Other-Girls or Boy's Girl FLs, and boring Leads (goody-two-shoes types taken to an extreme where they can do no wrong).
❤︎ I love mature and decisive FLs, older and sensitive MLs, slow pacing that lets you breathe in the world on the screen, subtle acting, good fight choreographies, dark romances where both characters deserve each other, and MLs that don't underestimate or berate women.
I also don't hate-watch. If I don't like something I'll just drop it.
Enemies to Lovers is one of my favorite tropes, but Power Couples are a necessity in my life, with either both characters being great warriors or one of the two being more the brains/heart than the brawn/sword.
I'm always happy to find dramas where both Leads are equally in love with each other, or where the FL falls in love first, chases after the ML, but becomes disillusioned with this passion after a while. Only for the ML to reciprocate this affection after a few good episodes and try to get closer.

I'm also emotional and with mostly low standards (except for pacing and editing). So:
10★ : Changed my life. It is now a part of my soul. I would recommend it even with my last dying breaths.
8★↑ : I created a spiritual bond with it. Has the tropes I love, great acting, great OST; the whole package.
6★↑ : I liked it. Wasn't life-changing, but also didn't disturb my peace. Good pass time.
5★↓ : Has choppy and snappy camera work, crappy editing, bad acting, frustrating plot holes, etc—I probably got frustrated with something specific that I couldn't get over and I'd rather not remember it.
