Dramas That You Watch Regardless of the Rating: Part II

There are usually two types of critically persuasive reviews for dramas that have fairly divisive rating:

  1. People who really enjoyed the drama and explained all the things they loved about it.
  2. People who may or may not have enjoyed the drama but left reviews that decipher the weak points of the drama so you're on the fence whether to watch it or not.

This list is for the dramas that you started and (perhaps regretfully) completed because turned out reviewers type 2 were consistent with your final opinion of the drama, LOL.
