Hello! I'm a 20 yr old british student from France.

 I study applied languages and speak english, french and german! Don't hesitate to add! :)

 My hobbies are listening to music, drawing, animation and embroidery! Also, I love vintage cars, trains, planes, boatsmusicals, the sky, and people that smile

I started watching dramas in 2008-2009, if I'm not mistaken, starting with Japanese school/youth dramas. I have forgotten a lot of what I've seen, unfortunately, my memory is awful!!! 

I discovered Japanese dramas through anime. I think my first Japanese drama was Nobuta wo Produce. Then I discovered Korean dramas! I've seen so many that I cannot remember what my first one was! And now I have discovered Chinese dramas! It's a whole new world that I can't wait to fully explore! 

After entering the world of Chinese dramas I will never again take subs for granted.

You won't find me watching everything new that comes out, I'll only watch what interests me and I don't hesitate to drop dramas if it doesn't grab me enough. I've dropped so many dramas, some of which are genuinely good dramas that I rated 10/10, but life's too short! For many it's probably not permanent, anyway. I (usually) have no sense of duty when it comes to completing a drama, haha. But if there's a drama that grabs me, I'll spend days binge-watching it! 

I hate dramas that are centered around misunderstandings, people being framed, trying to prove someone's innocence, identity theft, massive conspiracies, all these sorts of things, they frustrate the frick out of me! 

How do I pick dramas/movies? 

Never judge a book by it's cover? Never judge a drama by it's poster? Well I do just that! I browse this website and look first at the poster, then at the rating, then the genres and the story. I won't watch something just for the actors (ok sometimes I will). A good plot and I'll try it. The first 5 minutes are crucial. I'll pay attention to the production quality, the acting and writing. If they are good enough then I'll continue. A very good storyline can outweigh the quality, and vice-versa. Good character development is what makes a drama. I love to look back and think, wow, what a journey that was.

Episode 1. I have seen a lot more first episodes than last episodes. But that's okay. The wonderful thing about episode 1 is the new world, new people, new situations you are introduced to. New stories, so much to discover in episode 1. The ultimate escapism. Every time you are being shown a new world, with things you didn't even know about becoming important and things that were important before you started don't matter anymore. 

Once I've seen the first episode, even if I don't continue it straight away, I'll probably continue it later. I have loads of dramas on hold like that. The thing is, I now know the feeling of the dramas, and I can watch them when I'm in the right mood, so that I can fully appreciate them without rushing them, or watching them when it's not the right moment so I won't fully enjoy what I could have. Quite a few times I've strongly disliked a drama, then come back to it months even years later and thoroughly enjoyed it. That's why I don't believe in dutifully completing dramas.

I also tend to start a lot of dramas at the same time, but I'm starting to control myself by keeping my currently watching list to 15 dramas or less. So far I'm managing! 

Also I'm becoming more and more strict with my ratings, so things I watched years ago tend to have better ratings than things I've seen recently but it doesn't mean I preferred them. 

 I'm currently looking for modern-historical/pre-modern dramas! Anything to do with World War II and I'm on board, or any dramas set from late 19th century.
