This is an entry from my diary. Please check it and correct any mistakes.

I'm not that into music and I prefer watching movies or dramas, but recently, I've been listening to my childhood anime soundtracks. Most of them are inspiring and encouraging. Their lyrics are catchy and sometimes funny. When I was a child, it was hard for me to memorise textbook contexts but I could remember lyrics well.

I wouldn't use either "that into" or "so much into". I might say "I'm not particularly into ...".

I guess I'm an old fuddy duddy. I've never been much into the "into" phrases. I might say:

I prefer watching movies to listening to music.

When you say "movies or dramas" you're not talking about two different things. One is a subset of the other. On the other hand, "movies or TV shows" works fine.
