I like novelty so I'll watch just about anything as long as I find it interesting but my favorites are...

Historical | Sci-Fi | Action | Romance | Fantasy

Amnesia in romance, weak/dumb female leads, needless misunderstandings, love triangles/shapes, domineering/possessive/red-flag male leads (love interests), shallow and overpowered male leads, melodrama, damsels in distress, all-male cast, tragedy, embarrassment and toilet humour, random childhood connection, bait-and-switch, doormat FLs, 'healing' dramas that are just about forgiving abuse, highschool/youth setting, faking disability, mafia/gang kdramas, selective realism, unseriousness, male leads forcing themselves on the female lead

10 - Perfection
Whatever is off doesn't take away from the experience.

9.5 - Amazing 
Near-perfect, usually have a couple of things that are off

9.0 - Great 
I really enjoyed but had some unfortunate less great things

8.5 - Very Good
Above average good

7.5-8 - Average/Good
Quite a bit of things are off but they still have enough good things

6-7 - Alright 
More off things than good things

4-5.5 - Meh
Fine for what it was / Disappointing waste of potential

1-3.5 -No
I really shouldn't have finished it
