I occasionally write about reviews of some of the dramas I had watched which you may just take with a pinch of salt because after all, different people have different opinions of what appeals of them.

My Grading on a scale of 10:
[D or 1/5] Don't bother wasting your time, I didn't even finish watching.
[C or 2/5] Disappointing. Started out promising but gets more uninteresting as it progressed till I dropped it.
[B or 3/5] Just alright. Nice scenery & pretty faces but nothing really outstanding. In fact, it’s quite forgettable.
[A- or 4/5] This is Awesome! Sweet, engaging & kept me interested!
[A* or 5/5] MUST WATCH! Thought provoking! Heart wrenching! Teeth gritting! Tears inducing! Hit the right notes! Strike the right chords!
