My 2024 "LEFTOVERS" (= "ON HOLD" List 2024)

These are the Asian dramas/shows I started in 2024 but couldn’t finish for one reason or another. They’ve been ON HOLD for weeks, months, sometimes years.

Since I don’t want to drag these “leftovers” into the next year (2026), I’ve decided to finish them all in 2025, one by one.
The goal is to clear this ON HOLD list completely by the end of 2025/beginning of 2026 (Ahem, a girl can hope!🙄😅) because, knowing myself, I’ll inevitably accumulate new “leftovers” by the end of this year… and then even more by the end of next year… and so on.

And in case you’re curious, here’s my DROPPED list: My DROPPED List (so far) (21 shows) - kisskh

7 shows in total - Status (so far):
# FINISHED: 2
# DROPPED: 4
# RESUMED / CURRENTLY WATCHING: -
# STILL TO RESUME/WATCH: 1

1. Hospital Playlist Goes Camping

Korean TV Show - 2021, 6 episodes

7.0

Initially started in June '24. Temporarely ON HOLD.
Resumed in March '25 but finally DROPPED that same month after watching one more episode.
2. Autumn's Concerto

Taiwanese Drama - 2009, 21 episodes

4.5

Initially started mid‑July 2024.
And then something “better” probably came along… because it’s been ON HOLD (episode 4) ever since.
After 2 years on hold, finally resumed around mid‑August ’26. Restarted from the beginning.
Watched sloowwwly. Finally DROPPED on episode 17 (out of 34 in total on Netflix) end September '26.
I understand this Taiwanese series is considered a classic, and I would most likely have loved it when it first came out in 2009–2010, but I personally find that its storyline hasn’t aged well. Watching each episode became a struggle, so I decided to stop mid-drama.

5. The King’s Avatar

Chinese Drama - 2019, 40 episodes

Initially started in August '24. Three episodes in and already liked it better than "Falling Into Your Smile" on the same eGaming subject.
Then put ON HOLD (episode 3) because of a busy schedule at the time.
Tried to RESUME it in October '26 but eSports are definitely not my jam.
Finally DROPPED by end October '26.

IMPORTANT: As a matter of principle, I don't rate shows I've watched less than half of their episodes.
6. The Untamed
