Thanks for the answer. Big Smile

I hope that this survey is okay with the mods. I'm really curious with the demographics here. Smile

Mods, if you think it's too intrusive, please lock this thread.

1.What is the most important factor that makes you watch a new / unknown drama? Genre
I tend to be attracted to the comedies, especially the really goofy but inspirational ones about different work/activities and friendships. Usually shy away from romances and sad stories and the like, unless it was recommended. So a little of C as well.

The most important factor for me is (which is the one I voted for):
d. Genre (love story, martial arts, etc)

However these three factors bare strong consideration:
j. It has English subtitle
k. The number of episodes (prefer short dramas, 20 episodes or less)
b. Plot synopsis - however in the genre I prefer usually i will enjoy the plot as well

b. 19-25

I chose "Plot synopsis" because good looking actors/actresses don't guarantee good story. I'd rather watch something that's enjoyable or at least "bearable". The next important factor would be the genre. I am a sucker for romantic comedy, something light.

My age group is 26-35 and gender is female.

a. Actors / Actresses - if it has my faves then im watching it from start to end no matter how boring
b. Plot synopsis - has to be veryy interesting or funny
c. Friends / Family recommendations - friends tells me to watch a certain drama sometimes
j. It has English subtitle - least important. as long as it got the actors and plot, then ill even watch it raw

a. 13-18

b. female
