I am based in Malaysia and enjoy travelling. I have visited Busan, Seoul, Chengdu, Xi'an, Taipei, Kaohsiung and Hong Kong but not yet Japan. That profile photo is me cycling at Xi'an City Wall.
I am always curious about tv & film but only started watching Korean, Japanese and Chinese dramas rigorously during the pandemic. Since joining MyDramaList in June 2024, I try to write reviews of the Asian dramas that I have watched. I also enjoy music so occasionally I make pop culture reference in my reviews.
Tropes I love (including but not limited to these points below):
- Older woman, younger man romance
- Smart FL
- Gender role reversal
- Couples who have each other's backs
- Marriage of convenience
Tropes I hate:
- Childish / immature / silly FL
- Damsel in distress
- Lack of communication that lead to assumptions and miscomunnication
- Toxic family members (common in vertical shot & mini dramas)
- Bad romance e.g. abusive relationship
Tropes I wish to see more:
- People with disability
- Fun-loving/outgoing FL in older woman, younger man romance (most noona/jiejie romance dramas have serious, cold FL)
- Sports romance
- Working FL wealthier & more successful than ML (FL not just heiress being idle)
