Dropped dramas + my rating system
10 - loved it
9 - liked it
8 - meh
Lower doesn't necessarily mean that it is bad or I didn't enjoy it (unless I rated it a 1, which means I was bored to death), it just depends.
Most of my watchlist are 10s because I only watch what I know I will enjoy and I rarely have a miss, and because I am an open watcher in the sense that I won't hate on something but instead understand the point of it (sometimes I might not get it but that's okay! someone else will). As niche as it might be, it doesn't matter. Actually, those tend to be more for me. And yes, there's always a point, even if it's nothing more than mere entertainment for some. What matters is the immersion, accept the drama for what it is, and if you don't like its style, that's on you.
Anyway, it also means I didn't like them all on the same scale despite having the same rating. For example, I didn't really "love" some of them but still I gave them a 10 and that won't change. Besides, I already have another custom list for my favorites. I know that some people like to keep the 10s for their favorite masterpieces, but I don't do that.
I need to remember which dramas I dropped, so I will update this list as it goes. Because I don't know which episode exactly I dropped them on (and because it would ruin my list updates), I had to create this custom list.
Until recently I refused to drop, but I decided to change that to stop wasting my time. No need to force yourself, right? If I dropped all these dramas in the past, it is mostly because I was a beginner (considering that I started watching dramas in 2018). Also, I could pick up again some of them.

this one wasn't really a drop - I wasn't in the mood for it. but I changed and I know I can fully appreciate it now. the same thing happened with "the smile has left your eyes" which I ended up loving. also, wasn't a fan of seo in guk when I tried watching days, but now I am. actually, I like the whole cast now. the atmosphere in both is strange and unique, so it's not for everyone and you have to get used to it. -
