I'm not the type of person that judges dramas objectively (i.e. by the level of acting skill, cinematography, or just overall quality.) I judge purely by enjoyment level. A great OST, an engaging plot, and memorable characters make me enjoy a drama. So if I've given a drama a 10/10, that means it was amazing in at least one of those 3 categories.

Plots don't have to be intriguing, complex, or unique for me to enjoy them, they just have to NOT make me annoyed with them, which is simple enough. They have to hit me in the feels, which isn't really asking for much right?
OSTs don't take points off the drama if they're terrible, but they do get the drama brownie points if they're good. (Same with Cinematography)
Memorable Characters don't have to be unique, they just have to make me feel for them. Whether it's anger, disgust, love, or pity, if I feel something very strong towards their character, then that means, that they're memorable.

So be warned. If I've given a drama a 10/10, it doesn't mean that it's good - although, it could still genuinely be good. A 10/10 just mean that I enjoyed it very much.

FUN FACT # 1: I'm a very slow watcher. Although I binge, I like to rewatch several scenes I love over and over again. I also like taking long breaks while I watch dramas to clear my head. I'm also a very busy person, so unless I'm on vacation I don't really finish dramas that fast.

FUN FACT #2: I'm not a rewatcher. I find it boring. The only time I ever rewatch something is when it gives me nostalgia. And when I do rewatch drama, it's a drama that I haven't seen in a year or so.
