Currently... overwhelmed with current holds/recommendations. I'm clearing out holds/ptw lists & planning out personal drama watching goals. Possible challenges for 2022 below	Always lurking on MDL for dramas. Occasionally post on 'friends feeds' with thoughts on my recently watched. Sometimes on 'public feeds' to give hearts/comments.	Always open to recommendations but I need the motivation to start them. I apologize to anyone who has given me one and I'm slow to start - poke me with several messages!	My watchlist isn't complete with current watches and holds - as I use a separate moving board. It lacks a lot of ratings from older watches. Will only update with new shows moving forward.
		Friend Requests As being 'friends' on MDL doesn't add much interaction value unless one utilizes their 'friends feeds,' interaction anywhere on MDL would be appreciated before/after request - nothing big needed :) I'm assuming we're all introverts here with some social anxiety and I just want to say "hi" as a fellow MDL friend. My inbox is always open, even if my response may be slow.

Rating Criteria		Rating Scale
The characters and how they are written in terms of character arc and conviction of character. The themes show how well thought out a drama could be, adds depth, and usually a good lesson. The plot in terms of progression, consistency, complexity, conflict, engagement, etc. My biased emotional radar AKA the emotions I received while watching. Small beauty in the side stories, themes, genres, biases, etc. Big impacts received from the show may result in a rare but big biased increase that makes no sense to anyone but me.		10-7. Nothing can ever be perfect. Something can continuously be improved somewhere or somehow. Anything 7 or higher in my ratings is praiseworthy. 6.5-6. Were enjoyable at the moment but didn't leave a lasting impression, "meh," but still recommend - loved by many. 5.5-4. It had potential, pushed from my bias radar, but I could've skipped and wouldn't miss much. 3.5-1. Failed all of my criteria on how I rate a drama but could be well-loved by someone else. 0. Been so long since I've watched it. Not going to randomly give it a rating even if the empty stars bother me.
