Rating System (Key Notes):
- I don't start a K-drama or movie unless I've done my research to ensure it's worth my time.
- Because of this, you won't find many K-dramas or movies with low ratings on my list.
- The most important aspect for me is the plot—that's what drives my ratings.
- Cinematography and acting are important too, but they come after the plot in terms of what I value most.
- There are actors I like, but their presence alone doesn't guarantee a higher rating.
- Similarly, I won’t skip a K-drama or movie or give it a lower rating just because a certain actor isn’t involved—it’s always about the plot.
My Ratings |
0-3: Abysmal
| Critically and fundamentally flawed. Lacks basic storytelling, production, or artistic competence. Potentially offensive or disastrously incompetent. Reserved for works that are near total failures.
|

| Significant, fundamental issues. Fails to meet even basic expectations of its medium. Minimal redeeming qualities. Demonstrates serious shortcomings in execution or conception.
|
5.5: Barely Watchable
| Just above complete failure. Minimal entertainment or artistic value. More frustrating than enjoyable. Shows a clear misunderstanding of its genre or intent.
|
6: Mediocre
| Completely forgettable. Lacks any distinctive qualities, meeting the bare minimum standards without any innovation. Feels generic and uninspired.
|
6.5: Below Average
| Shows some potential, but it's buried under significant flaws. More disappointing than terrible, and requires lowered expectations to be bearable.
|
7: Acceptable
| Serviceable but unremarkable. Meets basic narrative and technical standards, but nothing stands out. Passable without evoking much excitement or dissatisfaction.
|
