Rating Guide

Numbers

These are cynlynn’s objective ranking, where she tries to be as objective as she can. 5/5 dramas might be an exception because she can be blinded by love. The dramas do not have to fulfill all of the points under each rating. 

Five:
→ LOVE this drama
→ Excellent; masterful
Four:
→ Love this drama
→ Strong plot
Three:
→ Like this drama, stable all around
→ Really like this but there are flaws
Two
→ Cute but mediocre
→ Not bad, but mostly boring
→ Good, but not good enough
One: 
→ Awful, awful
→ Increasingly boring and dreadful
→ Pretty with no substance

*Do NOT translate cynlynn's 5-point scale to a 10-point scale by multiplying 2. If you have to compare these two scales it would roughly be like this: 

→ Five = 9.50 – 10.00  
→ Four = 8.50 – 9.49 
→ Three = 7.50 – 8.49
→ Two = 5.00 – 7.49  
→ One = 0.00 – 4.99   

OR roughly ~
 
→ Five = ~10
→ Four = ~8/9
→ Three = ~7/8
→ Two = ~6/7
→ One = <5
 

Symbols

Hearts (are cynlynn’s subjective ranking when numbers-ratings fail to capture her love for the drama. Sometimes the hearts might represent the chemistry, and sometimes she doesn't really know either. It's subjective. Maximum is three hearts (♥♥♥ ). 

: A heart for the humour 
: A heart wishing this could have been better

First Impression Ratings

[-/5]: Don’t take this too seriously. She spends about 5 seconds on these ratings. It’s a little different from her normal ratings; 2.5 means she is neutral about the drama. More than that means she likes; less than that means she dislikes. Sometimes there are "N/A" because she really doesn’t have a particular feeling for the premiere to rate it anything. 

Recap Grade

In case people think cynlynn is scamming them into thinking every post is a detailed recap, she tells you as precisely as she can how detailed her recaps are before you click the post. 

A: 80-100% detailed 
B: 65-79% detailed 
C: 50-64% detailed 
D: <50% detailed

*A/B would mean some episodes are A grade and some are B grade. 
*A→B would mean it was A initially and then it changed to B

Additional Notes: 

→ Dramas before 2020 might be ranked less "accurately" according to this guide because cynlynn is grading them based on memory.
→ Her ratings are not static. They may change over time.
