30 something married casual watcher
Drama Preferences I like to watch drama to unwind. Soft Spot: Strong female lead, character development, nice male lead Kryptonite: Unrealistic scenarios, sexism, fighting for no reason Genres: Drama, romance, comedy | Movie Preferences I like watching movies to be enthralled. Soft Spot: Dark, twisted, revenge, bizarre Kryptonite: Slow paced, unrealistic Genres: Thriller, horror, action |
I started watching Jdramas in my teens but like many was pulled over by the Hallyu wave in the early 2000s.
I have a major soft spot for Secret Garden (2010) and Coffee Prince (2007) because I was a major tomboy who connected with gender bender themes. Those two are pretty silly in retrospect, but I've watched them countless times.
Now that I'm older and been married over a decade, I consider myself a "jaded realist" and am not so easily satisfied... Unrealistic situations totally kill dramas for me. I don't mind fantasy elements but they've got to be presented in a reasonable manner.
Anyway, just here to record my thoughts about what I watch.
