Surviving and Thriving in Dramaland: [Theme of the Month]

Dramaland — and its vacuum-sucking power that surpasses even Dyson-level — is sometimes a dangerous place to be. You might have to stay up all night. You might have to watch dramas you don’t really like, just to see a face you do. You might need lists of your favorite screenwriters, and spreadsheets to catalog dramas you have watched (and how many times). You’ll also probably need an external hard drive on which to store all the screenshots you’ll amass.

For June’s Theme of the Month, tell us about your tips and tricks for being a dramaland devotee. Whether it’s a list of hacks for watching 16 episodes without losing too much sleep, or a listicle for how you deal with drama tropes (maybe trope bingo?), we want to hear from you.
