I have been watching Asian dramas since forever, especially Japanese and Chinese dramas. I can't remember which was the first drama I have ever watched, except the first Kdrama (as I began to like them relatively later), which was "All about Eve". I like Asian dramas because they are relatively shorter than western dramas so that I won't get bored with the plot and can swap genres fairly frequently. At the same time, they are longer than movies which allows time for character development.
Favourite genre:
Comedy, Romance, Drama, Musical, Action
Favourite actors:
Hyun Bin, Lee Dong Wook, Cha Seung Won, Abe Hiroshi, Sato Takeru, Ohno Satoshi, Nishikido Ryo, Jung Il Woo
Favourite actresses:
Kim Sun Ah, Gong Hyo Jin, Ayase Haruka, Ishihara Satomi, Park Bo Young
Favourite kpop/jpop/cpop artists (bands/solo):
nu'est, Pentagon, Super Junior, BtoB, N.Flying, WEi, Red Velvet, Le Sserafim, Shinee, Gaho, SF9, TXT
Things I like in a drama:
Attractive and fresh storyline, good music, cute sweet main couple, happy endings (hehe! You've got to live positively right?)
But most importantly, interesting script and good acting :D
Things I hate in a drama:
Stupidity, Horror, Revenge, drama with more than 30 episodes, bad moral values, tragedy
Actors and actresses that I want to watch (but haven't because I haven't found them in dramas that interest me):
Nagasawa Masami, Aoi Yu, Kim Nam Gil, Song Il Guk
My rating system:
Start off with 8 points
Minus 1 upon every "yes" to the following questions -
- 1. Was the drama/movie a complete disaster?
- 2. Did I get bored out of my brain?
- 3. Was the plot stupid?
- 4. Was the acting in the main and supporting charaters unconvincing?
- 5. Forgettable plot - just like one of the millions of dramas and movies out there?
- 6. Zero chemistry between the main leads?
- 7. Lots of bad moral through the drama (for me this includes adultery, cheating, back-stabbing and the perpetrator got away with it!!)?
- 8. Err, my heart wasn't touched at all?
Add 1 for "yes" to the following questions
- Goodness, can't believe I learnt something useful and beneficial from watching this
- How my heart flutters - it's sooo good
