Hi wondrous souls! ✨ Thanks for visiting my profile! A true drama/film reviews itself, but I’m here to chronicle the journey. I contribute actively to my supporting role as a list-maker enthusiast, collector of existential quotes, aspiring completist, and musing about Zhang Zi Yi.
I first rediscovered dramaland back in 2013 but I've been a fan since my preteen years. My interest peaked when I studied East Asian literature, martial arts, and languages. Now, I’m here for both the banter and the deeper meaning behind every story. |
- Mostly into Japanese, Chinese, and Korean dramas/films (in that order), but I’m open to any foreign content as long as it has subtitles. I also watch Western TV shows occasionally, depending on my mood.
- A B O U T M E: animal lover (dogs & cats are my soulmates), cosmic dreamer, interior designer, bookworm, true crime junkie, dancer, thrift queen, coder, blk/white photography, winter blues, nature walks, cafe aesthetics, rainy day melancholic, night cruiser, learning to play the drums, and vibing to every music genre under the stars.
- Currently on a semi-hiatus from exclusively watching asian dramas, films, and anime.
I am only active on friends' feeds! ◞♡ | slytherin | mid-90s | △ | intj | ★ L I K E S : | ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓

I’m also eagerly anticipating some long-awaited anime releases. Feel free to send a friend request whenever you like! (FYI, I do tend to prioritize those I've interacted with before). The follow button is appreciated, and my DMs are open if you have any questions or just want to get in contact with me. Be kind, and have a wonderful day, evening, or morning, wherever you are! ✉ |

Disclaimer: I've never been one to conform to conventional rating system but I’m making an exception for old times’ sake. If I’ve rated something below a 4, it’s in cringeworthy territory, definitely not worth your time. Just drop it like it’s HOTTTT! My evaluations reflect a balance between what I would’ve liked when I was younger and what I’m into now as an adult.
I hardly ever re-rate and my reviews do tend to be rather verbose, but whatever. I watch everything at 2x speed anyway, because my ADHD kicks in after episode two. So, don’t put too much trust in my ratings—or anyone else’s for that matter! I don’t rate based solely on "enjoyment" it’s a mix of direction, cinematography, pacing, character development, and whatever else grabs my attention.
I’m considering switching to a more personalized rating system since numbers don’t tell the full story. But for now, I’ll keep it simple. My recommendations are thoughtfully curated, so feel free to ask or browse through my extensive list here! |
