Violet

 [ Welcome ] 

Hello! I'm Violet and I've been watching dramas since 2009.  I'm mostly into K-Dramas, but occasionally enjoy dramas from Japan, China, and Taiwan as well. When I'm not watching dramas, I like writing fantasy fiction, reading, playing games, and listening to music.

 [ History ] 

I first discovered dramas when I stumbled upon  Hana Yori Dango -- completely by coincidence -- just a few days after finishing the manga. Immediately after that, I found the K-Drama version, and though I didn't like it at first, I was pulled in before long. I didn't watch a lot of dramas those first few years since they were really hit or miss for me, and every time I encountered one that I didn't like, I'd fall into a drama slump for months on end. But since the start of 2014, I've found many dramas that I love, and as a result I have become addicted to watching them all the time!

 [ Ratings ] 

My ratings are based primarily on personal enjoyment, but I usually take originality and quality into consideration as well. I also tend to change my scores over time, as some dramas leave a lasting impression while others become completely forgettable. Generally, anything with a score of 7 or higher was enjoyable for me. Those scored 5-6 could have been better, but I didn't hate them. Everything below that was really not to my liking.

Thanks for stopping by!
