Ji-N:
Update: I have changed it to year-end by default.
Isn't it better to have it by the "Drama Status" and "Movie Status"? Maybe we can move the "Drama Status" and "Movie Status" from the Primary Details to the Release information and have users select if it aired or not. If it is "Not Yet Released" and "Canceled" we can't rate it but when it is "Airing", "Finished Airing", and "Released" we can have it rateable.
The problem is that you "changed it to year-end by default", which means short films and student films that don't have a release date and only the year will not be rateable until the end of the year, even though it already was released on 2020.
