I tend to give out high grades to the dramas I review (with the one notable exception). That’s not because every single Korean drama is great and it’s not because I’m amazing at judging a book by its cover (or a drama by its summary). It’s because when a drama is bad (or it doesn’t appeal to me, it doesn’t have to be objectively bad. Though let’s face it, some dramas really are objectively bad) I’ll drop it like a hot potato (I won’t drop it like it’s hot, since that apparently is a good thing. I’ll drop it like it hurt me and I’m in pain and I want someone else to pick it up and throw it in the trash where it belongs).
(I have a second list that consists of dramas “on-hold”; dramas that I started watching but for some reason didn’t finish even though I liked them. Maybe the stars weren’t right.)
This list is obviously going to be subjective and will range from “Maybe it wasn’t as bad as I remember it, I might try watching it again” to “Just seeing the title hurts my soul”.
