Hello everyone, I'm Forgotten_Soul! 

After having found to Anime in 2012, I only watched my first K-Drama I hear your voice in 2019. Now I'm all hooked up on Asian culture in general - and a lot more busy than I was back then, so my PTW grows without me ever getting a chance to catch up.

My favourite K-Drama so far has been Law School. And if you ever find a revenge drama better than The Glory, please let me know, because I don't even think it was that good, but also haven't found anything even remotely better. 

My favourite Chinese Drama has to be Hidden Love, it literally stole my heart and now it's out there looking for someone with as many green flags as Sang Zhi and Duan Jia Xu. 

Still waiting on  developing a liking for Thai Dramas, so if you have any recommendations, hit me up!

My preferred genres and criteria change with my capacities, so let's say I'm open for anything, just not at any moment.

Inconsistency is my biggest consistency, hence my rating system will only make sense if you're living inside my brain (which I don't recommend, it's messy). Instead, I try writing reviews whenever I find proper wording to express my thoughts, those give you a lot clearer insight of what I liked (or didn't like) about a drama. 

Some general guidelines: 

5 = Bare minimum fulfilled. Anything below was seriously lacking things I consider fundamental. I rarely finish series below this and I do not rate series I didn't finish.

5-6.5 = Not worth my time, but had at least one element I thought was very well-made

7-8 = A nice watch, but lacking important aspects

9 = Almost perfect, but was either lacking in a lot of smaller issues or showed one big issue I couldn't overlook

10 = I did not see any issue or was able to overlook all issues presented due to how much I liked it

Rating will differ on the drama`s "intention" assumed by me (I don't think a RomCom ever strives to have no plotholes because then the whole genre wouldn't work) , my expectations as well as my enjoyment while watching and the aftertaste after finishing. Those will be added onto a more "objective" view by following criteria.

Things I look out for: 

• Characters, their chemistry & their development (main and side)
• Music (composition & use)
• Story (plot & pacing)
• Acting 
• Facts & knowledge
• Setting
• Potential fulfilment

Things I barely look at because I wouldn't know what I'm saying anyways: 

• Camera (angles, movement, pacing)
• Make-up and costume 
• Facts & knowledge I have no clue about 

Things I love: 

• Green flag relationships (of any kind, not just romantic)
• Complex plot/relations
• No or minor plotholes only 
• Great OST used well 
• "Realistic" display of emotions, reduced drama

Things I can only bear in small doses: 

• Love triangles
• Love rivals going rogue
• Plotholes
• Violence/Gore
• High drama
• Clichés and tropes
• Misinformation
• Things that would be considered red flags irl but seem cool and romantic on TV

Things I can't stand 

• "Mean" characters with absolutely no good sides
• Characters acting out of character  
• Overuse of clichés and tropes
• False information on important matters
• Red flags
• Big plotholes/inconsistencies 

I'm looking forward to making new friends, share recommendations or discuss dramas you watched, so feel free to leave me a comment or friend request!
