I've been watching dramas since 2009 and love psychological, human dramas that keep you on the edge of your seat and stay with you long after they are done. I especially like ones that show how lives can unravel and "feel bad dramas". I do occasionally enjoy something lighter too if it can keep me interested and tend to drop dramas that I don't enjoy. I mainly watch Japanese, Korean, and Chinese dramas but am open to all countries. I also love watching films just as much as dramas and am always looking for recommendations for either. Fair warning; I tend to take a lot of drama watching breaks because I have too many hobbies in general.
Anything rated 6-10 is something I enjoyed, and the 5s and 5.5s were a decent enough amount of enjoyment. My all time favorites tend to be 8.5-10. I used to always try to complete dramas, but nowadays many of my completed ratings are 6-10 because I'll usually drop if I don't enjoy it at least that much. My ratings are entirely based on how much I enjoyed the drama and cover everything from the plot, the acting, the pacing, and the impact. I have the awful habit of rating a drama a point or so too high right after completion only to change it after my excitement dies down a week or two later. I also sometimes rate too low initially, and months later realize it had more of a lasting impact than I originally thought.
I typically love: human dramas!!!, character centric, psychological, crime, coming of age, inner palace, dark and gritty with a lot of twists, real world issues, plotting and scheming, fashion, Hermes products in dramas, nostalgia
I typically hate: cooking dramas, heavy sci fi, sports, too much romance not enough plot, heartwarming family dramas, slow pacing, medical dramas, terminal illness, pregnancy plots, dramas revolving around children
I love memorable characters, particularly complex antagonists and supporting characters. I dislike characters that don't act or react to things in a way that resembles actual people or anyone too perfect. I much prefer deeply flawed and human characters. I also love good acting and many of my favorite actors tend to play these supporting roles, though I do have some leads I'm a big fan of.
I have a lot of hobbies and interests outside of dramas. I love wine, hip hop, drawing, cats, high fashion (especially Hermes!), cosmetics, fragrances, etc.
I'm always up for meeting new people and talking about dramas here so feel free to add me, though I prefer to actually interact with the people on my list rather than just friend collect, whether it be through the feeds or messages.
