Dropped (and the whys)

Dropped at: 31/35

Way to go ruining a perfectly endearing story... Not sure why I even watched so long after the time skip... Maybe because it was my 2nd drama ever. 

• Might finish it later for a challenge and to have completed those final 4 eps ?

Dropped at: 12/28

Wasn't what I was expecting and didn't like either of the leads (especially ML) as well as the story (painfully slow and boring). Was waiting to see that emo supporting character but it just wasn't worth it. 

• Will not pick up again. Might skim it later for those scenes

Dropped at: 20/36

Wasn't what I was expecting and though very funny, it was very male-gaze fanservicy and I wasn't feeling it. 

• Might go back to it if I'm ever craving comedy

Dropped at: 3/12

The only saving grace of this drama was the deadbeat cop FL. Everything else was so painfully boring I dreaded having to watch it despite co-watching with a friend.

• Will not pick up again

Dropped at: 15/36

 Unrealistically and needlessly mean ML (+ I can't stand the actor and his perpetual migraine face, I feel so bad for him) + grating SFL (who's actress I cannot stand either)

Was debating dropping this one for a while but I finally did. ML is unreasonably mean towards FL (who is his wife and queen far away from her home and all alone) and doesn't make a great deal of progress throughout the drama. The comedy is funny but not worth watching an unbearably stupid, arrogant, and misogynistic ML.

• Will not pick up again

Sexist. Perv ML, stupid FL despite being a leader of an important sect--

• Will not pick up again

Dropped at: 5/18

Put it on hold over a year ago and didn't feel like continuing it. Acting was mediocre and plot was slow. 

• Might come back to it later 'cause I am kinda curious.

Dropped at: 05:00

Cringe + didn't care for it 

• Will not pick up again

Dropped at: 1/10

Watched while airing and lost interest T-T 

• Might go back to it if I'm ever craving office noona romance 

Dropped at: ?

Not what I was expecting + Cringe

• Will not pick up again

Dropped at: 4/36

Cringe FL. Her voice was so grating and her character wasn't much better + didn't like SML 

• I really liked ML though so I might go back to it once I run out of dramas I actually want to watch

Dropped at: 7/24

Boring and unengaging. Don't like FL's acting. 

• Might finish it to complete my whumplist. 

Dropped at: 6/24

Not as RR as I was expecting. 

• Might pick it up later

Dropped at: 3/24

Not what I was expecting.

• Will not pick up again

Dropped at: 4/10

I REALLY wanted to finish this one, but the themes were too heavy for me. 

• Will probably pick it back up when I'm feeling better and/or to co-watch with a friend.

Dropped at: 2/30

Boring and wasn't a fan of the actors nor the premise. Was kinda curious about a supporting character but nothing else. 

• Unlikely to pick up again

Dropped at: 1/16

Was watching mostly for the whump. First episode failed to capture my attention and I was already watching another drama with the same lead actor so dropped for now. 

• Might pick up later.

Dropped at: 5/24 

...Didn't feel like continuing it. 

• Might pick up later once I run out of all the other minidramas I wanna watch. 

Dropped at: 15/24

Wasn't as interested in it at the moment and have other dramas I wanna finish in the same genre. 

• Might finish it later

10-20 minutes in

Wasn't for me. Slow, boring and uninteresting 

• Won't pick up again

Dropped at: 1/16

Started this on a whim and wasn't really feeling it at the moment. I am however curious about the story so I'll continue it some other time 

• Will pick up again later

Dropped halfway through

On-hold for months then eventually dropped once I could no longer get into the story. It didn't click with me and it was tedious 

• Won't pick up again

Dropped at: ½/10

Wasn't the time. I was oversaturated of japanese family comedies. 

• Will pick up again later

Dropped at: 17/40

Disliked everyone but the ML. The constant ego stroking of FL was insufferable. Went from a cute romantic business drama to extremely heavy propaganda garbage 

• Won't pick up again

Dropped at: 1/10

ML was adorable, FL however was not it. Extremely meek despite being an alleged CEO and was oozing 2014's not-like-the-other-girls energy- Yikes... Comedy was also mostly a miss and no supporting characters seemed even the slight bit interesting. 

• Might pick up later.

Dropped at: 13/40

Everyone and their mom raved about how good this was. The best costume dram of 2024 and an objective upgrade from the first season. I don't see it. I have a whole rant written but honestly it's just season 1 but way worse. The cases are meh bordering on irritating, the investigation is about the same piss-poor quality as the previous season but more irritating (this might be on me having less patience), but arguably the worst aspect is the characters. There's nothing there. Even less than in the previous seasons. Most act on their own, barely interact with one another and when they do, it's out of character. 

• Might pick up later once my disappointment, boredom and rage eases

Dropped at: 3/12

An interesting premise utterly ruined by the worst, most insufferable secondary leads you'll ever have the displeasure of witnessing. Save for FL, the adorable not-manager, and the boy-band duo who were mostly just there, every character is thoroughly unbearable. Not a single decent person to be found. I was rooting for no one. And after the stunt the writers pulled at the end of ep 3, beginning of ep 4, I just lost all interest. I was scoffing and shaking my head. No thanks. I did really like the direction of the story but I just couldn't sit through such insufferable characters not getting reprimanded and ultimately probably getting rewarded for their shitty behavior.

• Might pick up later.

Dropped at: 3/20

Not what I was expecting. 1 year isn't an age-gap T_T

• Won't pick up again

Dropped at: 5/12

Wow... how they managed to make an infiltration gang story so incredibly boring is beyond me. The fact that the gangsters don't fight with guns is also hysterical to me. Just overall, very self-important, melodramatic, and boring. I do fear I dropped it right when it was getting interesting, but... *shrugs*

• Won't pick up again

Dropped at: 19/35

Paused it for too long (over a year) and couldn't get back into the story. Not the kind of drama you can drop for so long and then get back into. A shame because it was plenty cute and a pretty good sports drama. 

• Won't pick up again

Dropped at: 1/12

Felt like I was thrown into the middle of the drama rather than the beginning. Very melodramatic and very very slow.

Pros: It had quite some whump and seemed like an angsty type of sports drama. Plus I think the dynamic between ML and FL could be giving. 

• Might pick up later.
