hi, I'm olivia
only recently got into asian dramas, so I have lots to catch up on
ENFP
***
enjoyer of all types of romance dramas <3
my first korean drama: crash landing on you
my first korean BL: semantic error
my first taiwanese BL: we best love
my first thai BL: bad buddy
***
my criteria for ranking:
- good chemistry!! (especially w good flirting & casual intimacy)
- good acting
- believable romantic tension
- supporting cast that is fleshed out/nuanced
- the music/OST adds to the scenes significantly
- DETAILS
- draws me in to the point that I NEED to binge
- feels somewhat realistic
- minimal amount of 'convenient' plot points or scenes
- minimal amount of cringe (sometimes it's fun, but too much is... too much)
| thought process for scoring/ranking: |
| 10.0 | perfection | would recommend to anyone |
| 9.0 - 9.5 | really, really good | just one or two flaws |
| 8.0 - 8.5 | good | thoroughly enjoyed, tho not a fave |
| 7.0 - 7.5 | okay | probably won't watch again |
| 6.0 - 6.5 | not good | finished just for the sake of finishing |
| < 6.0 | most likely dropped | do not recommend |
fave tropes:
| worst tropes:
|
enemies to lovers
| fated meeting when young(er)
|
friends to lovers
| cheating
|
forbidden love
| love triangles
|
forced proximity
| accidental kisses |
unrequited love
| "I'm not gay, but I like you" |
revenge
| step-sibling crush/relationship
(especially when one or both are underage when first introduced, it's just weird. looking at you HIStory 4)
|
| fake relationships (but I'm PICKY) |
rich/poor dynamic
| overly tragic past
(sometimes the character genuinely needs therapy, not a relationship)
|
| bodyguard (kinnporsche hehe) |
