In a nutshell, I'm a music lover, Asian drama/movie addict, and epic procrastinator. (It 'only' took me 2 years to write a profile... ;P)

Generally I favour Japanese and Korean dramas and movies (I have a particularly soft spot for Japanese culture and language) but I'm open to productions from any country~

Some MDL users are methodical when it comes to ratings but how I rate is pretty arbitrary and subjective. Things like cinematography, writing, and acting certainly do influence my opinion but my ratings are based on my personal taste and enjoyment level more than anything else. Ratings are also subject to change; I periodically go back and lower ratings when I realize I've been overly generous (which is especially true with movies and dramas I rated from memory).
