All the dramas that I've dropped are due to a) annoying/ludicrous storyline/characters, b) couldn't peak my interest or c) they are just plain bad/boring.

Sometimes I do end up finishing dramas that I don't like. It depends on my mood.

--------------------------------------

I have 2 grading schemes in my reviews. The first one is my impression in general (objective) which is the overall review rating. The second one is how much I was entertained/obsessed (subjective).

Lastly, the grading scheme in "My Drama List" is the average of the two previous grading schemes [(objective + subjective)/2]

  • OkriSama Jun 17, 2012
    oh my pleasure ^^ i found that we may have the same taste in drama looking at ur list except for TMTETS it wasn't high rated in ur list as for me i loved it and u can see it's on my top drama ^^ i don't think their is a similar feel btw TPM and BM i don't noe ! xD maybe ! but for me it's more like City hunter feel ! ah but of cos BM has its own feeling and I m already hooked i never put a drama in top list b4 finishing it but this one is an exception !! lool what's with all the dropped drama in your list xD
  • educto1 Jun 16, 2012
    hahaha, I know right? I loved everything about it!

    yup, somehow I think rom/coms are overrated sometimes, just like lie to me.

    I very fine with heavy melodramas. TEM is a great example for that.

    what about saeguks?
  • educto1 Jun 16, 2012
    wahaha, I sort of looked into SG's sweet scenes, then I saw this. I thought it was so freaking awesome pic!

    hahaha, I change my avis, everyday I think.
    I forgot to ask you if you're into sad endings too?
  • nina Jun 16, 2012
    no not yet i just saw cuts and trailers i will watch it after finishing the priness' man ;D
    1 ❤
  • educto1 Jun 16, 2012
    hahaha, SG isn't overrated for me. it's in my top list!

    well, overrated meaning the story is exaggerated as well as the characters.

    who are your fave actors aside from your list?
  • educto1 Jun 16, 2012
    noticed you actually put BM on your top list though you haven't finished it yet.
  • dejirei30 Jun 16, 2012
    I know right? Episode 6 is really sad>< I teared up a little..poor KangTo.
    Do you watch Big?
    Haha don't worry I'm planning to watch The Princess' Man very very soon! :D
    it would be nice if there was secret garden2:( that wont happen anyway, and hyun bin's still in the military.
    yeah, i could the chemistry between them!:) they really look good together;D
    dubbed korean dramas?!! i cant imagine that! lol
    oh i discovered dramas from my cousin..lol at first i thought it was a chinese drama haha:) my first drama was You're Beautiful. <3

    For me, I happened to like a Japanese idol Aiba Masaki of arashi. I thought Oskah and him are kinda look-a-like so from the start I really like him.

    You should really see that drama Can You Hear My Heart. It's as amazing as Smile, You. Actually I didn't like it at first coz the synopsis sucks but I'm glad I came across to a blogger who loves CYHM and that convinced me to watch it.

    Me too, viikii makes the drama more fun to watch! I also don't know what to do w/o them. As for Gaksital, I already put it on my top 5 favorite drama here on mydramalist. It's so amazing that I can't help but put it there!

    hahaha We are really a like. BM is my ultimate obsession too while Big is just a filler to me though it's fun I'm not as obsessed.
  • nikhapi Jun 15, 2012
    Yes, I feel the same intensity for BM just like TPM. I wonder if the writer or director or PD are the same w/ BM. For CH comparison, tbqh I didn't notice it all until someone from my favorite drama reviewer pointed that out. I think BM is very much similar to Zorro? Or is just me? What I like about BM is how complex our lead hero Kang-to. He is like a presentation of a real human being. He's not all about what is right but he's living to make a survival in that period of time. And the scene at the last episode where he posed as Gaksital to avenge his mother and hyung, it is clear that he's only using the "Gaksital" for avenging his loved ones. He's not yet out there being a hero... I'm so waiting for the real transformation. As for Rie, she's my favorite character along with Kang-to. There's a lot of mystery around her w/c I'm so curious about.
  • nina Jun 15, 2012
    welcome :D .. yeaah i noticed we hv some in common :p currently i'm watching the princess' man & i think i am falling in love with it .. also i'm looking forward to The bridal mask i'm so excited for it
  • educto1 Jun 15, 2012
    Versatile actors add factor too in a drama, I'm so into actors who can easily move me just with a single drop of tear. Then the perfect delivery of lines too. As if those lines were said naturally.

    Unique plot with unpredictable twists+ good acting skills+unforgettable OSTs+ satisfying ending = 10

    On the other hand, I don't like overrated actors/dramas.

    what do you think about the endings of dramas? is that a big deal to you as well?
  • educto1 Jun 15, 2012
    hmmm, we basically share the same thoughts, however, for me, if the story is too dull, as well as the characters I would not give a high rate. Endings play a big part too. If I didn't like much how the scriptwriters and directors wrapped the drama, my supposed to be 10 would just be a 7 or 8 ex: RP

    I totally like OSTs they add colors to a drama. and when there are some sort of OSTs that I learned in a drama, I would automatically have an LSS or Last Song Syndrome.haha then I'll search for it.

    I like any kind of drama whether that's a tearjerker or a feel good one, that's just fine with me. I know some people don't like dramas with sad ending, but for me, that's fine too ex: 1 litre of tears
  • yixings Jun 15, 2012
    Hi there Val! ^^

    I'm so sorry, I totally forgot about MDL and to answer you. Heh.

  • educto1 Jun 14, 2012

    Oh, I love you ranking of currently ones. haha, so you're not sorry??? hmmp,
    anyway, are you fond of OSTs too?
    what do you usually look for in a drama?
  • nikhapi Jun 14, 2012
    I watched Secret Garden during its broadcast on our local channel and the drama became so popular in our country. I remember enjoying watching it since I love Oscah to bits! When it comes to my most favorite drama, The Princess' Man is actually really first and came close to second is Can You Hear My Heart w/c btw is a very very good drama too and its writer is the same who writes Smile, You.

    Have you watched the recent episode of Gaksital? Darn! It's so amazing! I never thought I have a tremendous amount of tears coz I cried A LOT during this recent episode! Just like you, Gaksital is becoming on my most favorite drama of all time. I hope the writer will continue doing the good job!

    I'm actually watching BIG every Mon/Tue. Thanks to viikii, I can always be updated!
