Hello and welcome to my profile :)
My interest for Asia started with japanese anime and manga in somewhere around 2003. After couple years, I wanted to check out asian dramas too and got really hooked!
First asian movie I saw was either Battle Royale or Death Note live action around 2006. I saw bits and pieces of japanese dramas but wasn't really following any actively until 2008.
My first asian drama ever was japanese drama Hana-Kimi in 2008.
I discovered korean drama through Boys over flowers in 2009. It got me into the amazing world of k-dramas.
My first taiwanese drama was It started with a kiss around 2011.
My first chinese drama was Scarlet Heart around 2011.
I ventured off deeper to asian dramas when I started watching thai dramas aka lakorn in 2014.
My favorite drama genres are historical, fantasy and romance, preferably all these combined~
I'm really a weirdo because I like action-romance combination with a little bit of humor and I don't mind cliche moments but I don't really gravitate towards romcoms since I don't like watching countless of embarrassing moments between the leads. I'm weird with my taste, I know :D
My drama rating:
10.0 - Masterpiece, liked basically everything; plot, characters, cinematography...
8.0-9.5 - I enjoyed the drama very much but there were some minor details I didn't like and thought the drama would be perfect without those.
6.5-7.5 - The drama was ok but there were alot of scenes/plot twists that annoyed me or characters that I hated and that's why I couldn't enjoy the whole drama experience.
5.0-6.0 - Only couple good scenes or a likeable character, otherwise a drama I would not recommend to watch.
3.0-4.5 - Speechless how bad it was. Got extra points only from a good actor or cinematography.
0.0-2.5 - Don't watch. Just don't.
