jenmonster's drama categories
All the Korean dramas I've watched sorted into 4 categories :) why they're into 4 categories instead of a straightforward ranking? because I'm quite indecisive and definitely won't be able to decide on an order. I have the hardest time sorting between categories 1 and 2, and I've indicated the dramas I haven't finished in brackets.
To get a rough idea about what these categories mean:
- Category 1: my favourite dramas. will revisit for feels. would actively recommend.
- Category 2: dramas I enjoyed watching. would recommend.
- Category 3: alright dramas. wouldn't recommend.
- Category 4: dramas which weren't that great. wouldn't recommend.
- Unrated: miscellaneous reasons ... most likely I haven't watched enough to rate!
I'll leave the links to my old blog for now. Enjoy! :)
