• I started watching Asian movies/dramas in 2009.

• My favorite genres are: crime, psychological, investigation, thriller, drama.

• I tend to stick to heavier themes, and my go-to movie to watch on a Friday night would most likely be about a serial killer.

• I have a soft spot for J-dramas about family and friendship.

• I'm not very fond of romance, especially in K-dramas. I'm used to most tropes, but scenes of ML catching falling FL in slow motion, with loud background music and floating flower petals always make me cringe a little.

• I rarely rewatch movies and dramas

• When someone's acting makes a big impression on me, I usually end up watching this person's entire filmography. The same goes for the directors.

• I might score a movie or a drama a 10 even if they were not perfect but still managed to speak to me in one way or another.

• One of my resolutions is to watch more Chinese and Taiwanese productions.

• Even though my PTW list is already quite long, I'm always open to new recommendations and I love reading reviews.
