| − | Hello and welcome to what I had way too much time to do. ^_^ If you're looking for detailed recommendations, you've come to the right page. I've watched many dramas over the years, and while I don't claim to be a dazzling expert on the genre, I have learned what I like and don't like in terms of writing. I've boiled my critique (or enjoyment) down to five distinct categories, rated in the graphs below on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest.
| |
| | | | |
| − | '''1. Dialogue''' - Wit, humor, melodrama, whatever it is you're selling, sell it with your words. I like good flow to conversations and well spoken/well thought out lines that actually matter to the plot. Most dialogue nowadays is filler repetition that goes in one ear and out the other.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''2. Pacing''' - When it's time to end, it's TIME TO END. Slow, dragging storylines are the curse of most dramas.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''3. Chemistry''' - If I don't see any onscreen magic, I ain't watchin'. Bottom line.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''4. Characters''' - A somewhat difficult category to explain, as it ties back into the general do's and don'ts of screenwriting. Characters need to be well developed. I have to feel like they do/say/think things for a reason, rather than just serving a cardboard purpose.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''5. Ending''' - As you can see below, I think most dramas fail horribly at endings. Good closure and resolution, above all else, is what makes or breaks a drama's lasting impression on me.
