Hello
It all started around 2010/2011 with japanese live-action drama of animes. About a year later I discovered both kpop and kdramas and was immediately hooked. It started of reasonably but after 4 years I had watched 250+ dramas. The year after that (2016) I completed over 60 dramas... ?
I still watch mostly korean dramas but I watch a few thai, japanese and taiwanese dramas as well. My preferences has (naturally) changed during these ~12 years with me slowly discovering genres other than romance to enjoy. The past 2 years I've been really into thrillers and dark themes. My standards and what rating I give to dramas have also changed. Most dramas that I've watched before 2019/2020 have a higher rating than I would give if I had watched them today. I guess that comes with growing and maturing in your values.
