HELLOOOOOOO !!! xD

Hi everybody! I've been addicted to kdramas for 10+ years. My favorite genres are comedy, romance, investigation and legal. I'm also a makjang addict. I'm pretty opiniated when it comes to dramas, even with the actors I love the most. And I also avoid watching trailers and reading synopses. :)

Biggest crush : Ji Chang Wook

Someone called him "His Royal Hotness" . This has been, so far, the 100% most accurate description of this piece of art. I feel sasaeng-ish with this dude. I refuse to believe I have it in me. I NEED a cure everyone, help me out thank you !

Current obsession : Kim Young Kwang

I don’t know if this guy is about to dethrone Ji Chang-Wook on my Top 3 Crush List but I have a weakness for men who manage to exude manliness while having a “cute” side to them at the same time. I find him gorgeous and effortlessly stylish. And yes he is talented and that definitely counts, but we don’t have to lie ladies, we do have eyes too. I fell for this heartthrob with “The Secret Life Of My Secretary”. :)

How I watch dramas : Slowly... I'm a turtle

So many of you have completed over 150 dramas and sometimes more than 200, in less than 10 years, I chuckle at my list. I've been lost in kdramaland for over 10 years and have just completed 100ish dramas (not counting the movies). WOW! But there are three reasons to this : 

                      1. I'm picky and impatient. Nothing slow-paced. No poor character development. And finally, nothing gory, violent, or detrimental to the youth.
                       2. I have  "drama-free phases", every year, that can last up to 6 months.
                 3. I watch dramas slowly, and very rarely binge watch. It takes me a LOT of time to finish a drama... unless I'm watching it while it's airing.

How I select dramas : Veteran Advice, Here

Pick and choose what works best for you on this list. This is what I found out helps me select and enjoy a drama a lot more, avoid spoilers, and avoid wasting time. These are guidelines, not absolute rules.

• Do : Check the genre(s), episodes number + duration, cast, short comments on MDL's drama page
• Do not : Check trailers, synopses, comments by episode, long comments on drama page, reviews - until you've completed or dropped a show, former titles (probably changed for spoiling too much). BECAUSE avoiding all of this will allow you to be surprised and appreciate a show more. Everything looks more interesting with the surprise factor.
• Watch at least 3 episodes before giving up on a drama : Character development tales time. You could miss out on a good show if you drop it too early. That said we all have our pet peeves and triggers. If something strongly triggers you from the start, to the point that you can't enjoy the show, feel free to drop it the minute it "shows up", even if it's within the first 5 minutes of the 1st episode. 
• Don't rely 100% on the ratings : they do help but can only be reliable to an extent. Many people rate a show before it even begins, generally because they either love or hate the actor(s). My advice : if the comments completely contradict the ratings, trust the comments.

Contemplating dropping a Kdrama ?

Is that your facial expression watching a certain drama ? In case we have similar tastes, and you don't know if you should drop it, check out my "Dropped" drama list with notes on why I moved on from them. But remember not to take it personal. Unless stated otherwise (rarely the case) my opinions do not reflect my sentiment on the actors' skills.

That's all for now folks :)
