Question for the community (from Leslie!): How do you optimize your drama viewing experience? (Patreon)

Hi everyone!

This is something new, but since Leslie suggested it and I thought it sounded like fun, let's give it a go? 

Basically, Leslie has a question for the community, about how everyone optimizes your drama viewing experience, and here are some breakdown questions, if that helps:

- What are your best tips for keeping characters and plot lines straight when viewing multiple shows?  

- Or, how do you pace your watch (i.e. what's your optimum # of episodes a week, per drama, that keeps you connected, but out of binge territory)?  

- Do you spreadsheet shows or take concurrent viewing notes?!! I'm so impressed by how many Patrons frequently make articulate comments and have been able to follow plot clues that I, for one, have missed.  

- How do you keep track of shows you've watched, would like to watch, or have dropped?  

- Do you have a rating system?  

- And, how do you keep track of Korean names? (Still a challenge after all these years. 😉)   

In other words, do fellow Patrons have a personal "secret sauce" for amping their enjoyment of dramas?

Here are my own 2 cents*:

* Of course, I know that my 2 cents would be atypical, since I'm actually working on the blog full time. 😅

- I rely on my episode notes, which sit in my drafts folder on the main blog, for keeping my plot points straight, and where I am in each story.

- My optimum number of episodes a day varies, depending on whether I've got a review deadline coming up. Typically I do about 3-ish episodes a day, of whatever shows suit my posting schedule.

- I use Asianwiki or MyDramaList, to keep track of character names. I typically have about 10 tabs open at the same time, for easy reference, just in case I need to jog my memory for a particular show. 😁

- I use a combination of Excel spreadsheets and a normal to-do list, to keep track of everything, including shows watched, shows on my radar, shows dropped etc.

KFG ❤️
