⊰✲⊱About Me⊰✲⊱

Hello!✿
Welcome! I'm Autumn Carrots. Fangirl, writer, exclusively Army. I have been here since late 2020.
I found my way to East Asian media during the quarantine, after binge-watching The Untamed. My username is actually an homage to the characters' obsession with rabbits!૮₍╹˕╹`❀₎ა

⊰✲⊱What happened next? ⊰✲⊱

✲✿⊰✲⊱✿⊰✲⊱✿✲✿⊰✲⊱✿⊰✲⊱✿✲✿⊰✲⊱✿

I was captivated, first by Chinese novels.

This then led me down the rabbit hole (pun not intended) of danmei novels and the ever persistent wait for Immortality's release!

• The Grand master of demonic cultivation

• The Husky and his white cat shizun

• Heaven's official Blessing

⊰✲⊱Dive into dramaland⊰✲⊱

Then I became interested in other Cdramas, Cmovies, Kmovies, K-literature, Kdramas...
It never ends!
My first dramas were Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms and The Stroy of Yanxi Palace. Both of which remain very dear to me to this day!
I then found my way to Korean dramas and before I knew it, I was addicted to all of it!

⊰✲⊱What to expect⊰✲⊱

✲✿⊰✲⊱✿⊰✲⊱✿✲✿⊰✲⊱✿⊰✲⊱✿✲✿⊰✲⊱✿

I have a very strong personality and I share my opinions with a healthy dose of snark and sarcasm. I'm not always fluffy and sweet as a rabbit, despite my cute profile picture! So expect a little bit of harshness!
I also try very hard to write reviews for everything I watch..not that anyone reads them...
You can always find me causing minor chaos on the feeds page with random and ill-advised visits to drama comment sections.

⊰✲⊱How I review⊰✲⊱

It's important you know, I rate on a 5-star scale! Anything below 5 is a dropped show. I try to keep a critical eye on things. My overall rating is based on my enjoyment, but for each category (story, acting, music, and rewatch) I rate with a more critical viewpoint. 

 A show might average between 6s & 7s ✲ in each category but get 10✲overall if I actually enjoyed watching it.  

Meanwhile, a show with great production and 10s and 9s, might get an overall 5 because I didn't enjoy watching it.
⊱✿⊰
Now as for what I consider for my ratings of each category:

⊱✿⊰I will consider plot, narrative, character development, subplots, and interesting plot twists and signs for "Story".

⊱✿⊰I will consider the appropriate casting choices, actual acting, emotional impact, chemistry, and charisma for "Acting/cast".  
⊱✿⊰Things are different for OST category. I rarely listen to the OSTs and even more rarely like them. So for the most part, this rating is specifically about overall production quality, including cinematography, costumes, lighting, CGI and of course music.

⊱✿⊰My rewatch rating depends on how hung-up I am on a show and whether I am willing to rewatch a 50+ show more than once. The answer is almost always "No" unless I am hyperfixating on a show.

None of these are professional opinions nor should they be perceived as such. These are all my personal opinion and I actually do this for fun, as weird as that might be.
