I half wonder if things don't get more action-ey, if it will be relegated to the trash pile because it doesn't have explosions, or massive angst.
But the thing is - it will be relegated to trashpile if it DOES have explosions or massive angst - she hated Iris, really disliked Legend and Swallow the Sun, now is disliking Chuno, and is always like that about and all other actiony/epicky dramas I can think of, not to mention any angsty melodrama you care to name except for Christmas.
And yeah, she isn't into slice-of-life - I haven't seen Triple but she really disliked Worlds Within which is the most slice-of-life kdrama I have ever seen.
I think if you go to dramabeans for opinions on any genre other than a trendy romcom/teen one, you'll find she seems not to care for it. Which is fine but I now know it and skip her reviews accordingly.
Re: genre limitations. That never made sense to me - e.g. I will likely never watch Hon because I am wussy about horror and I will likely never watch any family dramas like Assorted Gems, Creating Destiny etc because I find myself disengaged when the story revolves around the whole family. But that's the thing - I know that and judge it accordingly. I am never going to claim Hon or Hometown of Legends or Smile You or whatever suck just because they happen to be horror/family - that's bizarre.
