10 Stars
I rate based on my overall enjoyment and appreciation of the quality of a drama, and whilst there may be flaws they are ones I can overlook. Some of these objectively are 10 stars, others are rated this way more subjectively. This is not necessarily equivalent to a favourites list, as some of my favourites have objective flaws too serious to be given a lasting 10 stars.

14. O Romance do Tigre e da Rosa
Chinese Drama - 2020, 24 episodes
This drama is so perfectly meta that there's literally no way you can critique it without me saying: Ha! You're wrong, and you know why? The whole point of the female lead being transported into her script is because her construction of it is flawed. Therefore, any flaws in the world of the script can be seen as intentional and are impossible to critique

15. Invasão Zumbi
Korean Movie - 2016
might lower the rating, I love this movie and it made me want to cry (something I don't think any other zombie movie is at all capable of) but I'm not 100% sure it's a 10 for me, maybe more like a 9. it can chill here for now
