dramas I've skipped through in 2025
-
1. The First Frost
Chinese Drama - 2025, 32 episodes
I watched till about ep 14/15 and then skipped through some of the rest as it came out
-
2. When Life Gives You Tangerines
Korean Drama - 2025, 16 episodes
I remember starting this drama the weekend it first aired, saw maybe ep 1, then as it aired I skipped through some episodes and spoiled myself the ending, so when it finished airing, I watched till ep 6 and I've been stuck on ep 7 for 5 months

3. The Tale of Nokdu
Korean Drama - 2019, 32 episodes
started randomly as a last resort on netflix because there aren't enough actual period dramas so I'm left to watch the idol dramas: 3rd September 2025
in ep 2 (4) I skipped to ep 6 (12): 4th september 2025(netflix episodes are 16)
*from a bit into ep 2 I skipped to the end of ep 5 and then skipped through the rest of the drama, but mostly just viewing the couple's scenes and a bit of the main conflict*
*I'm not into cross-dressing dramas especially not if it's the ml doing it*to me it feels like the earlier episodes feel detached from the later ones, I personally prefer the more seriousness of the later episodes, although I think the kpop could've been replaced with regular songs or instrumental music, but again, I'm not a fan of idol kpopy period dramas.
I personally find the sml actor better looking than the ml lol but whatever, his character is the obsessive sml kind, at least he was the bigger man and let the main couple be together in the end.

4. Secret Love
Korean Drama - 2013, 16 episodes
started randomly on viki: 7th september 2024
skipped to episode 2 on viki (skipped through some of ep 2): 10th december 2024
*on the 31st October 2025 I skipped through eps 10-16*ml is kinda a red flag and seems like he would be a bit controlling.. but at least he's attractive lol
-
5. Love in the Clouds
Chinese Drama - 2025, 36 episodes
on the 9th and 10th november, I skipped through some of the episodes here and there and the ending
personally, I find xianxia and stuff with magic hard to take and cringey and also I feel convicted watching certain scenes, I only bothered watching some of the main and second couple's scenes
-
6. The Butterfly Lovers
Hong Kong Movie - 1994
-
7. Love Story in Harvard
Korean Drama - 2004, 16 episodes
started randomly: 27th November 2025
THOUGHTS:
*ep 1 - ml is kinda schleimig and arrogant, unlikeable..*
*eps 2-3 - sml is more likeable, but he seems like he could be the possessive stalker type..*
*ep 3 - I still don't like the male lead's attitude, I hope he grows out of his immaturity.."
*the non korean actors give me secondhand embarrassment*
*professor keynes = kenneth copeland, who??*1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th & 6th december: while on the beginning of ep 3, I skipped through the rest of the eps, so I may not watch this whole drama*
i feel bad for the sml, although i don't ship him with the fl

8. Moon River
Korean Drama - 2025, 14 episodes
*I watched while it was airing*
skipped through ep 1 a bit and started watching from ep 2: 11th November 2025
*I finished ep 2 on the 12th november*
*I put it on hold on the 23rd November* ( & since then have been skipping through)
*13th december - I skipped through episode 11 (watched most of it)*from ep 12, I think I'll watch most of it, so I'm not sure if I can say I've completed the drama?
thoughts:
- an ost is by song sohee, this style of music suits these dramas way better than kpop, it slaps.
- I'm more interested in the second couple
- the ml is kind of wimpy/simpy..lol
- ep 5 & 6 have aired but I don't really care anymore lol..
I watched some of ep 8- what's the point of the body swap plot? (in hindsight)
