Hi and welcome,

About me:
How I fell in the wonderful world of drama I don't actually recall. I don't remember my first drama. I just know I've been watching Asian movies and anime for more than 30 years and somewhere drama's were added to that.
Movies, books and music are the loves of my life, together with my two Sphynx cats;) Like my drama's I'm not picky with genres,..

I'm 44 which is a tad older then average MDLer but not nearly old enough to stop watching the great  and sometimes not so great Asian movies and drama's. I think It's great how people on MDL can share their love for drama's and contribute in all kind of ways. I love great recommendations and reviews .

About my taste and rating

I would like to say I rate my drama's based on technicalities like good acting, a plot without holes, original story etc. The truth however is that I can be tremendously forgiving if a drama or movie gets to me one way or the other. As  long as I'm emotionally invested I can forgive a lot. Killing off characters, annoying second leads or Taiwanese mothers. LOL The other side of the coin is that I can be completely turned off by one character or plot turn. Bottom line is I like to be moved by a movie or drama.

• I love a intense romance, suspense, action, melodrama or basically any genre with chemistry between the characters and engaging story   

•  I like mature and or layered themes in movies or drama's

•  have a weak spot for horror and thriller movies

• I hate USELESS melodrama. I don't mind melodrama, in fact I love a good cry, but it's a huge turnoff when the obstacles in the drama or choices the characters make are just for the sake of creating drama and thus not logical in terms of the story of char background.

• I sometimes drop drama's, but not always because they are bad. I feel it's a shame to keep watching something that doesn't fit my current mood. Usually I pick them up later.

• I hate drama's which take the moral high ground too much. I know there's a message in most movies and drama's I just don't want the writers to slap it I my face every episode or dialog.

• Finally all the above might not apply when a drama or movie makes me turn a blind eye for all it's faults because it affected me emotionally. :P

Thank you for stopping by and have fun with the next episode!
