i don't really have an actual rating system in place, i just rate it based on how much i liked a drama...
- what i like in dramas:
- captivating plots
- happy endings
- beautiful osts !!!
- good chemistry between leads
- adorable friendships !!
- beautiful scenery
- well written characters
- i don't mind cliches unless it's demeaning to the female lead
- genres/tags: rom com, drama, friendship, coming of age, college/school life, strong female lead, dorky male lead, fantasy, cohabitation, contract relationship, youth, happy ending, slice of life, thriller, action, sci-fi, melodrama
- what i dislike in dramas:
- love triangles (unless they're done correctly lmao)
- second lead syndrome
- dramas that drag too much and move too slowly (i have a terrible attention span)
- bad acting
- misogynistic male leads or female leads that comply with that kind of behaviour
- dramas with too many episodes (i usually won't watch anything over 25 episodes)
- characters that learn nothing and don't develop throughout the series
- dramas with endings that don't make sense and disappoint bc of the high expectations created in the plot build up...
- genres/tags: rich/poor, ab*se, no romance, love square/polygon, naive female lead, gender benders, bullying, annoying second leads/ex returns
yes i'm very picky and this is the reason my drop and on-hold list are longer than my completed dramas lol... but having said this, i am generally very easy going with ratings so they're usually higher than the mdl standard! also my not interest list acts as a secondary to watch list so i can keep my watch list more clear :)
note to self: don't check ratings before watching any drama to avoid biased perception
