Too Stupid to Live: the writer can't come up with plausible ways to ratchet tension or create situations other than making his/her characters dumb as a box of rocks or having less sense than God gave a rubber duck.

1. Tomorrow With You
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
The leads were charming, and the story was engaging. But, let's not tell each other who we think the killer is, and, for heaven's sake, let's split up and make certain he has a fair chance at killing one of us. And if we know where a catastrophe is to happen (because we've been to the future and witnessed it), let's don't avoid that area. Let's make certain we're there to meet our fate. Bad things happen in life, but they happen more frequently to characters who have to share a lonely brain cell.

2. Dong Lun Dao Wo Lian Ai le
Chinese Drama - 2022, 24 episodes
People lied when the truth would have been simpler and better. The ML's best friend and the woman who loved him didn't trust him with the truth. Everyone conspired to keep the ML ignorant, when he was the one person with the riches and networking skills who could have solved everything neatly. He was independently wealthy; he could have hired detectives, computer techs, and specialists to find people, ferret out the truth, protect the innocent, and guard against the guilty. It was painful to watch the FL flail in her stupidity. I wanted to like her, but the writer made her incredibly gullible and undeniably dense, because, let's admit it, the drama would have been about 4 episodes long if she'd had any sense.
