Okay so I have been trying to give some more structure to my rating and I got this idea from an exam rubric:

Production0/2
Writing0/2
Acting0/2
Intimacy0/2
Music0/1
Special 10 Scene0/1
Total rating score0/10

My rating structure is more like this (max. possible = 10):

Makes-my-heart-go-pitter-patter = +2 per character
(+1 bonus point per character for raw sex appeal,
+2 bonus points for any BL containing an actor on my "crush list")
General cuteness and fluffiness = max. +3
How invested I got in the main couple = max. +2
How invested I got in one or more side couples = +1 each
Bonus points for being funny, clever, original or exceptionally feel-good = max. +3
Happily-ever-after ending = +2
If I made to the end without getting bored = +3
Random impulsive adjustment based on various rational and irrational factors = +/- unlimited

So basically, I tend to give a lot of 10's.

This is a good way to rate series but damn if I can be bothered to follow any outline like this. It looks super nice though and organized. I mainly score series/movies based on feels, how much I liked the acting, characters and story. If one of my fave actors is in it, I tend to score it a bit higher but not all the time. All in all, I keep scoring methods to a minimum and try to give every series/movie a fair chance. I don't drop movies but I do drop series if after 3 episodes there's nothing appealing about it anymore.

Day 29 of April Challenge: Under-rated BL Drama (even though I'm a bit late)

Oof I have no idea

Maybe...Minato Shouji Coin Laundry 

I loved this drama so much, I binged both season in less than week (mostly to see my beloved Nishigaki Sho lmao) but I think Minato's hesitance and behaviour really annoyed a lot of viewers, especially when it continued in season 2, but I honestly like the slow pace, surprisingly, and I love the MLs in general so this drama was a 10 for me 

Day 30 of April Challenge: BL Drama You're Currently Watching

Haven't caught up with any airing dramas yet but I'm currently watching Deep Night, Only Boo!, Living With Him, Kiseki Chapter 2, Not Me, We Are

and this sin't BL but has GMMTV BL artists but I'm also watching Ploy's Yearbook (which is amazing as far as I've watched lol)

What do you guys think of this rating rubric?

I've never seen a rating breakdown before. It seems to have the main points. I would stress out if I had to follow a structured formula, but I can see how it would help others.


 RiqueXinw:
does anyone know of the Dear diary YouTube channel that makes BL stories?

No but it looks interesting. Thanks for sharing it here.

This reminded me that for series with multiple couples such as We Are the series what I will do is apply the rubric to each couple's individual story and then average the final scores to get the final rating for the series

Hmmm, since Only Boo! EP 5 will air this Sunday, you only need to watch 2 EPs to catch up and be ready for Sunday's EP. 

Then watch We Are and you'll be ready for EP 6 on Wednesday! 

Then if you still have time, I'm excited for you to continue watching Not Me. Cuz it's one of my all-time favs!! haha
