I am just another normal viewer.
I've been watching asian dramas/ movies since I was very little, from Moero Attack (1979), Oshin (1983), Police Cadet (1985) to Breaking Point (1991). I wasn't introduced into Korean production as earlier as Winter Sonata (2002) was taking the world into storm. I would say that my first kdrama was Autumn In My Heart (2000) and I didn't like it that much. So I stayed away from any Korean-made production, until the Successful Story of a Bright Girl (2002) came along and the rest is history. I wouldn't say that I've seen it all but my experiences in the drama world has really been a part of me growing up. From comedy, romance, action, mystery, supernatural, tragic, life-altering lessons and historical; any genre is welcoming for me to venture into.
I am a happy go lucky and passionate person with a bit of temper. I do get impatient sometimes and tend to skip or fast forward if the story is becoming too unbearable to watch or to experience. But I do try to watch it entirely nonetheless. I value my experience as to really enjoy and grasp the story as it unfolds at normal speed. However, if it's too much, usually I just drop the whole thing and start a new one.
My ratings are heavily based on my rewatch value. Why? Because I appreciate the experiences. I like to relive the moments of watching a good story. I want the values and lessons of the story to be embedded in me as part of my life. Whether as a motivation or life lessons, I like to reminisce and look back on how I feel. Any moments in my life are very precious to me, be it taken from just watching dramas or from real life experience. I want to treasure it all.
