♪ Welcome, welcome my fellow drama junkie! ♪

*diabolic laughter*

Can you recommend any good dramas or movies? Before I mostly watched comedy and rom-coms. "Thanks to" my better half I often watch action/crime/suspence nowadays. Some were surprisingly good (intelligent/original plots, introducing a whole new world), some not so much. It's still such a delight to watch rom-coms from time to time. My fav genre still remains comedy (after work I want to relax and laugh).

• I suffer from 2nd lead syndrome... ㅠㅠ (FRUSTRATING!)
• I'm into Korean culture. Not the same as I used to. Started with KDramas in my childhood, then music (KPop) when I went to university (once a faithful Cassie (still OT5 supporter), can't keep up with all the stuff people listen to nowadays (feeling old)). Now it's part of my daily life (thx to my better half). 
• I'm a webtoon addict. When I went to school, I mainly read mangas but now I almost colmpletely switched to webtoons. Haven't watched anime in a long time but started again because of my better better half.
• Variety Shows: Don't watch anything regularly, however, I'm into Gaki no Tsukai's Batsu Games (although I'm neglecting this guilty pleasure, still need to watch the Batsu games of the past years...)
• Fav OSTs: "It's Okay, That's Love", "Soulmate", "Goblin", "Reply 1988" as for instrumentals "Welcome to DongMakGol" (or anything by Joe Hisaishi)

My rating system: Since an early age I watched a lot of dramas but (sadly) forgot most of the titles... When I started with MDL it was hard to rate a series that I watched ages ago. While I rarely gave really low ratings (< 7), I didn't give a lot of high ratings either (> 9) (more 8s rather than a 9 or 10). Nowadays, there are more 9s or 10s, lol (probably biased since I rate right after finishing a drama/movie. Nevertheless, I believe the quality of dramas has improved a lot!).

Not that accurate but... 
0 = cannot remember clearly or really specific reason(s) why I'm not able to rate
4 = strong dislike, annoying, mostly bad memories, painful to watch
5 = hard to get through, mostly boring
6 = ok, mostly boring, a few delightful moments/characters
7 = good/ok, nothing special
8 = mostly entertaining but still lacking
9 = enjoyed it a lot, highly entertaining, icing on the cake was missing
10 = something special | true emotional rollercoaster | FEELS | precious memories | just thinking about it puts a smile on my face | Masterpiece...  
Edit: Oooh, there is a new rating system (ratings with decimal point).

About me and my Drama addiction:
- started with Asian dramas in my childhood (mostly HK, Mainland, Korean) but stopped after entering school (Hiatus since 2002/2003?)
- Dae Jang Geum/Jewel in the Palace (and after a few years Boys Over Flowers) were my first attempts to come back  to dramaland
- in 2010 I started to watch Asian dramas again ("Yeah, from now on I'm an independent university student, I can do what I want!!" *busy as hell*) (mostly KDramas, rarely JDramas)

These days Netflix became THE source for dramas/movies for me. It's amazing how you can casually watch Asian dramas in Western countries nowadays (or KPop on the radio, seriously). Thank you to the subbing squads who got us through the early beginnings - we owe you!!

Don't have much time on my hands (daily life = work, now try to squeeze in quality time for dramas/movies/webtoons/games etc.) so let's see how many Dramas/Movies I can finish.
