Dramas You Began Pessimistically But Exceeded Expectation
Maybe a drama you began cautiously because it's not really your genre, it doesn't have your favourite actors or it's simply a slow burner. This could be a drama you watched as it airs so your emotional investment in the drama is more organic as the story progresses, or maybe you are discouraged by the ratings/reviews but you give it a chance anyway and end up leaving fully satisfied.
