Just a quick FYI on how I rate things on MDL:

10 - perfect drama, developed deep connections with characters & their growth, A+ in acting and directing, amazing and highly recommend

9.5 - near perfection!,  willing to overlook minor flaws because of how much I adore it

9 - some plot points could've been developed better but not a big deal. the characters were lovely / overall it's still great

8.5 - still good!, most of the time it is fun but it's not a favourite

8 - good drama objectively, could've a lot of fillers midway, didn't develop a huge connection to it

7.5  - ok drama, fun at times but forced myself to finish it on some, might have put on hold midway because it wasn't as engaging and only watched it just to say I finished it

7 - kinda bad, characters were probably noble idiots or older dramas were kind of cheesy when I looked back on it, very dragging

6.5 - please avoid... bland and boring, no other redeeming quality except for nostalgia

6 & 5 - idek why I watched these dramas, frustrating plot, script was all over the place, too much nonsense and stupidity 

If I finished a drama, I will rate it higher than 5 automatically! :)

On-hold dramas: these are some dramas I genuinely liked but personal reasons caused me to put it on hold and not finish it, I rarely pick on hold dramas and finish it afterwards so it could be considered "dropped" but not really in a way

Dropped dramas: oh boy, these dramas really frustrated and annoyed me, leads weren't worth rooting for, plot points were simply ridiculous or there's too much power imbalance

- I consider 0.5 ratings as an actual level of rating (e.g. there's a big difference between a 7 and an 8 for me)

- The lists I created vary from time to time if I watched a drama and loved the actors on it!!

That's all!
