10 Star Rating Scale
10/10 - Obsessed, a masterpiece, a favorite; unforgettable, emotionally impactful, near perfection; strong storytelling, acting, cinematography, & execution; definitely a rewatch
9/10 - Excellent / Amazing; emotionally engaging w/ strong storytelling &
compelling characters; some flaw here and there but not enough to go lower in
rating; overall very enjoyable and/or something I was really in awe with
8/10 - Great; enjoyable & captivating with a memorable story; some flaws here and there, but the good outweighed the bad; great overall w/ some weaker moments; if drama is simple (w/ not much plot) but is still engaging
7/10 - Good and bad (flawed); a decent watch w/ some enjoyable elements, but with things that held it back; not extraordinary; conspicuous flaws; unlikely to rewatch
6/10 - Had potential but did not deliver; some good moments but overall forgettable and lacking impact & spark; notable flaws; won't stick with me
5/10 - Mid / forgettable; meh~ nothing stood out; did not bring me much feelings; probably just watched it & moved on
4-1/10 - Mediocre; did not enjoy; plot not enjoyable + characters not likeable
*Nowadays, I try my best to avoid dramas if I feel I'll rate it below 7. 

I also don't write reviews (as you can tell). When I finish a drama, if I feel like it, I will jot down notes about it, my thoughts, pros and cons, etc. When I feel like it, I may start to add them to my reviews, but note that they won't be one of those polished reviews that you see up in the review section but more of me casually writing down my thoughts on the drama. (Just started doing this with the historical C-dramas I've watched and starting to do it with modern dramas too)
