Hello! :)
I have a Combined Honours Bachelor in English Literature and Women's and Gender Studies & a Masters degree in Feminist and Gender Studies. I'm easy going, creative, and (almost always) deconstructive by nature :) I've been watching East/Southeast Asian dramas for about 10 years now. I also enjoy writing, reading, listening to kpop (I ult stray kids), drawing/art, drinking tea, and meeting new people.
All in all, nice to meet you, and thanks for visiting my profile! Feel free to send a friend request!!!
My Ratings:
10: I loved everything about this drama/film/special. I couldn't find a reason to rate it any lower.
9-9.5: I reallly love the series or film, there were probably a few things I would have added, and it would have been closer to a ten.
8-8.5: I liked the series, or film that I watched. I probably thought there wasn't something overtly unique about the series that made me feel like I could genuinely rate it higher. The 'WOW' factor wasn't there as much as my above 9 ratings were.
7-7.5: MEH. I hate to say it, but I persevered to the end to watch it, but it didn't make me feel like I was just as engaged as the other films/series I've highly rated. I usually think they're 'good.' I probably found the plot unoriginal, or even if it was unoriginal, it didn't pique my interest as much as I hoped.
6-6.5: I completed the series, and I didn't feel the magic/it didn't catch my interest most likely, but it was 'watchable,' and there might have been a few things I wanted to wait to see what happened at the end.
Anything below a 6: I wouldn't recommend to anyone. I will admit I used to finish dramas/films because I started watching them, but now I have no issues with dropping. Usually these series contain problematic themes or tropes I didn't agree with, is poorly executed, has obsessive and awful characters, or it just overall didn't make me feel good.
