WELCOME TO MEET ME

You must have been a little curious about getting here.  I will not talk much about my personal stuff but will gladly share anything about my indulgence with Asian series, films, and shows that we both have common interests with.

Let's begin here

      I am a hopeless romantic, guess just like any other woman out there.  It started in English fairy tales when I was a kid, and now love seeing variety of love stories from different cultures.

      Taiwanese series first opened my eyes to other Asian dramas with the globally popular "Meteor Garden F4" followed by the Korean classic "Lovers in Paris".

      I prefer to watch Korean series, however, there was a time when I exhausted all my options and tried Chinese dramas.

      Now, I dare explore Thai series and find them equally entertaining.

      Not to offend the Japanese, but I don't have any inclination yet toward their series.  My reluctance extends to BL & GL genres.  

      Adding to my selection is the Turkish drama series which caught my attention late of 2025.  My first watch was "Aynadaki Yabanci (Stranger in the Mirror) and my favorite so far is "Kan Cicekleri" (Vendetta).

As a huge drama buff

1.  What is a good drama for me?

It requires a well-written story and a defined execution whether it's about a general or contemporary subject.  Casting prominent, big, and promising artists supplements popularity but may not always guarantee a good one.

   2.  How do I choose what to watch?

   I rely on reviews and check the trailers but I avoid reading the  rundown story to spare myself from spoiling my curiosity.  I frequently watch series that feature my favorite artists.

3.  How often do I write reviews?

Randomly, it's only when I feel like doing it.  If after watching, there's an urge inside me, then I do write. I try to keep my reviews as short as possible and not give too much information so I can still preserve the interest of the readers.  I have made quite a few write-ups on dramas I dearly appreciated, recognized as average, and ones I even dropped.

     4.  What is the longest hour I spent watching a drama?

A non-stop 5 hours, I normally watch after my home-based online work at dawn to help me fall asleep apparently it only made me stay awake all the time.

5.  Do I have any watching habits?

• I like writing down dialogues as quoted from dramas I find meaningful.

• I promptly include in my playlist songs from the OST that lyrically and tunefully touch my soul.

• I watch Korean, Chinese, and Thai series one after another, but at times I run out of options for Thai series to watch.

• I hardly watch dramas being aired because it cuts my high spirits waiting for the next episode.  I watch it when it has only 2 episodes left.  This pattern changed late of 2024 when there were  released series I can't help but keep up while airing.  The excitement is burning though!!!
