I guess I should say hi.... then.... what next....
I'm a person very passionate about TV ♫ or book ✎ culture and fandoms ever since I was little.

✧ Other people may constantly improve themselves in playing a musical instrument, in sports and in art, while I take the greatest pleasure in analyzing and exploring TV tropes, the psychology and motives of fictional characters, and the lessons and moral values gleaned from story plots (*coughs* that's my only talent...)
–– so in other words i just like myself a good story in a form of a drama or a book that I can swoon over after an annoying day at work, with a hot cup of coffee (might aswell add some cliché to it, shall we?).

✧ My 3-5 episodes rule – It's very important to me to keep in mind that not every drama starts off interesting right off the bat, not every plot can be developed in the same pace and not every drama with bad or boring start must be boring till the end. Even when first few episodes don't come off as intriguing or enjoyable I continue watching a fair amount of it to make sure it doesn't get better later on. It happens to me sometimes that I dislike the beginning of a drama and then it turns out it's much better from a certain point on!

✧ My ratings might be quite unconventional to those who are used to rating each quality of a drama production – to me personally not so many aspects are as crucial and I base the value and worthiness rather on my personal emotional experience and satisfaction the story is/isn't giving me – other aspects of production come into the game after that.

✧ I avoid giving ratings below 6.5 which is a line I rarely cross, as I believe the production out there mostly has always something to offer. Even if the story may be lacking and acting is out of place, I still want to appreciate the production in general, such as good camera quality. For the sake of all people who worked on it, invested their time and money in it and for all we know they might've done their best despite the bad outcome.Therefore I often find it unfair to rate a drama below even 4, since there are always human beings behind it who might aswell lose their jobs on it, and we should remember that.
–– That being said, sometimes even I commit such a heinous crime of dropping the drama (which might be worse than a low rating), since I just can't bring myself to be interested enough and it's not worth hours of my time to be half asleep, not paying attention anyway...

✧ However, I do seek atleast acceptable minimum presentation of logic and consistency in those shows, despite still expecting certain exaggaration over a realistic accuracy of things and issues (as much as it'd be beautiful to maintain those in dramas). It is still fiction we're talking here... Most usually I decide to put it on hold and give it a shot later or I just remove it from my list completely as if I never started it.
