the list of shame or drop it like it’s hot ~ 

In order to prevent future drops I add the reason* & the episode I stopped watching

My goal was to complete more than dramas in 2023 than I dropped. - I slightly failed 60 dropped  - 54 completed

*OD = overflow drama; meaning I was watching better dramas at the time and it just wasn’t interesting enough so I dropped it.

*TO = try out; meaning I just watched the first episode but didn’t continue after that.

*LW = live watched as it was airing.

    2. Răzbunare sau Dragoste?

    Korean Drama - 2012, 20 episodes

    Dropped at: EP15

    3. Golden Spirit: Joseon Marriage Prohibition

    Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes

    TO

    Reason: tried out of curiosity…. Thai dramas ain‘t my thing :) 

  • One Shot Scandal

    5. One Shot Scandal

    Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes

    Dropped at: EP3, LW

    Reason: don’t like the competitive school aspect, reasonless bullying & certain plot points (or lack there of)… the trailer looked appealing 

  • The Wonder Woman

    6. The Wonder Woman

    Taiwanese Drama - 2020, 18 episodes

    Dropped at: EP3

    Reason: loved FL but the rest I disliked. Feels very much like "Men vs Women" plot + low quality for a 2020 drama.

  • She Who is Dangerous to Me

    7. She Who is Dangerous to Me

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes

    Dropped at: EP7

    Reason: OD; too trashy

    8. Maiden Holmes

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 32 episodes

    Dropped at: EP14

    Reason: OD + low production quality 

  • Better A Lie Than A Truth

    9. Better A Lie Than A Truth

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 18 episodes

    TO

    Reason: the same story told a million times x low budget

  • Fan Zhuan Ren Sheng

    10. Fan Zhuan Ren Sheng

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 26 episodes

    Dropped at: EP10

    Reason: Had a "watch-all-kido-ma-dramas" moment that faded while watching this one, OD

    11. Chef Hua

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 36 episodes

    Dropped at: EP6

    Reason: OD; just wanted to watch a few episodes;never had the intention of finishing; it’s too timid

  • Love The Way You Are

    12. Love The Way You Are

    Chinese Drama - 2019, 24 episodes

    TO

    Reason: ED triggering + poor quality/feels cheap and lifeless

  • Model Taxi

    13. Model Taxi

    Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes

    Dropped at: EP6

    Reason: OD, it's a good drama and I see why people loved it but I'm in a kdrama slump and it's... well... a kdrama :D

  • Interpret My Love With Your Heart

    14. Interpret My Love With Your Heart

    Thai Drama - 2020, 5 episodes

    Dropped at: mid EP2

    Reason: weird long pauses between sentences, strange facial expressions. Very selfish ML

  • Lovely Sister

    15. Lovely Sister

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 20 episodes

    Dropped at: EP12

    Reason: … found it boring/predictable 

  • Gui Lu

    16. Gui Lu

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 30 episodes

    Dropped at: EP7, LW

    Reason: … an exhaustingly long breath of nothingness. I watched another slow-paced-fated-relationship melodrama before that (the forbidden flower) and so when I started this I was already tired of going through the same process again.  Seven Tan is a good actress, however portraying deep romantic connections is not among her abilities, which is absolutely essential for a character like this. t’s missing the spark in my opinion.

  • Hello Beautiful Life

    17. Hello Beautiful Life

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 36 episodes

    TO, LW

    Reason: … feels like a daytime soap. One of the Mls seems sweet and I like the actor but it doesn’t justify watching a boring drama where I had the first episode on 1.5x speed already ^^

  • Anomalii

    18. Anomalii

    Korean Drama - 2022, 10 episodes

    TO

    Reason: … didn’t grab my attention 

  • Hoshi Furu Yoru ni

    19. Hoshi Furu Yoru ni

    Japanese Drama - 2023, 9 episodes

    TO

    Reason: OD, feels like another try at "Silent" which was already great therefore don’t need an reinactment.

  • Xin Ming Li Chang

    20. Xin Ming Li Chang

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 40 episodes

    5.0

    Dropped at: EP23, LW

    Reason: I regret spending so much time on this. This is the type of drama that I believe was made to launder money, lol. Plus Tao playing a bad actor that can’t show a range of emotions was pure irony. IIt also had the worst romantic chemistry I‘ve ever seen both visually and the way their characters were written. There was zero reason why Momo would like Song Yang and vice versa. 

  • Love is Sweet

    21. Love is Sweet

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 36 episodes

    Dropped at: EP3

    Reason: Tried it due to recommendations but I'm not too fond of either of the leading actors so I dropped it.

  • The Real Thing Appears

    22. The Real Thing Appears

    Korean Drama - 2023, 50 episodes

    TO, LW

    Reason: …no. Just no. 50 episode family drama

  • San Hao Cha Sheng

    23. San Hao Cha Sheng

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 24 episodes

    Dropped at: EP8

    Reason: OD; just another school/college romcom. Watched a similar one that I liked better at the same time so I lost interest in this.

  • Begin Again

    24. Begin Again

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 35 episodes

    Dropped at: EP3

    Reason: started it due to AvenueX‘s recommendation but once again got proven that we have very different taste. (it didn’t grab my attention at all)

  • Two People's Little Forest

    25. Two People's Little Forest

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 35 episodes

    TO

    Reason: FL character + I thought it was 24eps… no way I‘d watch 35 of this ^^

  • Karma: Seven Joseon Notices

    26. Karma: Seven Joseon Notices

    Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes

    Dropped at: Mid EP2, LW

    Reason: … for this type of drama/role you need charismatic characters but none of the leads are expressive actors. More like a semi-copy of "Healer" but without the charm of Ji Chang Wook & Ahjumma.

  • Yugure ni, Te wo Tsunagu

    27. Yugure ni, Te wo Tsunagu

    Japanese Drama - 2023, 10 episodes

    TO

    Reason: didn’t grab my attention 

  • Jinx's Lover

    28. Jinx's Lover

    Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes

    TO

    Reason: … strange drama. I like fantasy but it has a really weird vibe + Ki Do Hoon is SML. Probably would have continued for a bit if he was ML.

  • La 17 Ani

    29. La 17 Ani

    Korean Drama - 2018, 32 episodes

    Dropped at: EP7

    Reason: I thought the story would be different, therefore I was disappointed and don’t wanna watch the endless back and forth because of the misunderstanding.

  • Family

    30. Family

    Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes

    TO, LW

    Reason: … weird romantic storyline with kiss of kids in elementary school?? No thanks.

  • Zui Shi Ren Jian Yan Huo Se

    31. Zui Shi Ren Jian Yan Huo Se

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 23 episodes

    Dropped at: EP4

    Reason: OD

  • Hatsu Joji Made Ato 1 Jikan

    32. Hatsu Joji Made Ato 1 Jikan

    Japanese Drama - 2021, 12 episodes

    Dropped at: EP6

    Reason: It was quirky and risky at first but after a few episodes it became quite repetitive.

  • Oh! Youngsimi

    33. Oh! Youngsimi

    Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes

    Dropped at: EP3, LW

    Reason: overacted trash ^^

  • A Date With the Future

    39. A Date With the Future

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 36 episodes

    6.0

    Dropped at: EP23, LW

    Reason: annoying characters…the story and characters got really pathetic and boring. I disliked the second couple ML a lot because he’s set to be a nice guy but he’s way too pushy and makes disgusting jokes about women.The writing seems outdated and underlying misogynistic.

  • Rattan

    40. Rattan

    Chinese Drama - 2021, 30 episodes

    Dropped at: EP3

    Reason: …just didn’t like it.

  • From Now On, Showtime!

    41. From Now On, Showtime!

    Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes

    TO

    Reason: it was recommended after I liked "Cafe Minamdang", however it’s a lot less vibrant and doesn’t have those expressive characters + the lead FL isnt as fiesty but more timid. Also I feel it’s not enough comedy.

  • Stand or Fall

    42. Stand or Fall

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 32 episodes

    Dropped at: Mid EP6, LW

    Reason: OD, very predictable that the men are turning trashy, not gonna waste time on this. Why do women always have to fight for survival in the work force + love life?

    June

    43. King the Lander

    Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes

    44. Du Jia Tong Hua

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes

    Dropped at: EP3, LW
