Been on the kdrama grind for a while so I wouldn't take my ratings too seriously. They're a random chronology of my growth in personality, taste and intellect spanning the delicate decades of adolescence to adulthood. I can't tell you how revolutionary Healer was when I first watched it but I can hardly say it'd get the same adulation at my grown age. I've abstained from rewatching in the hopes of preserving the shrine of devotion that my inner child built of Ji Changwook at 15. (He still fine asf though.) And so that 9 star rating forever remains...

So what are the true standouts in my watchlist that I can vouch for regardless of years declined or advanced? One's that might even shed some good lighting on the type of media consumer breed that I am and if we're of the same kin? It was heinously difficult to pick top 5 but there we have it. The culmination of my kdrama personality test. I wonder what it says about me... What I think it says about me:

1. I love a good gothic subtext (heavy psychosociological themes, plus points if it's wrapped in a wretched aesthetic, more-so if it stenches queer)

2. My fav AO3 tags are Hurt/Comfort and Found Family

3. You'll probably catch my whip with a "Everything is political" bumper sticker, no shame

4. If the MC is autistic or neurodivergent coded, it's wraps. I'm para-socialing to the utmost degree.
