I watch dramas purely for entertainment and relaxation. I find Asian dramas heartwarming so when I watch them I don't necessarily look for Oscar worthiness, I look for heart. My opinions are mostly subjective, based on my personal take on any drama.
The more dramas I watch, the less generous my ratings become, and my perceptions and tolerance for certain story arcs and tropes changes and evolves over time.
My most beloved drama of all time is: My Name is Kim Sam Soon, this is a purely personal and subjective opinion. This drama has a magical combination of storyline, OTP chemistry, OST, female lead portrayal and narrative, comedy, pathos and real life issues engagingly presented by the marvellously talented cast.
I also watch a lot of Turkish Dizi, and wouldn't it be lovely if they could be catalogued on MDL? isn't part of Turkey in Asia? hint hint...
Anyway, the drama journey continues.
