I'm right with you there - I mean I drop or put on hold more than I finish at the best of times but out of the lists set out in answer to your post I've finished EAW and 2521 - and I wasn't that bothered about either by the end.

You do know this a review site don't you?

I lost it when she had to be saved from the baseball, she was great then she was shoujo.

On Kocowa - so I'm watching it again in the right aspect ratio and good quality.
Because it's worth it!

All those rewards for bravery because she singlehandedly caught all those crims... Discus, eh? who knew?

I didn't give it a tremendous chance but in the 5 episodes I watched? Nope it got worse.

I actually quite enjoyed the first couple of episodes till the FLs dimness and inappropriate behaviour with her student became a NO. If he'd a been older I'd have probably enjoyed it.

Excellent review thanks

Another great advertisement for the NHS.

Well really enjoying the steady flow of 10/10 rated reviews for this drama both because of its illustration of the fervour of its fans and the fact that the score stubbornly refuses to rise. Perhaps whilst you are taking the time to defend Mr Bad and redress the damage the haters are doing to its score you could pop a review on a drama that you find average or even don't like? The ratings run from 1 to 10 so go wild!

If you go by the Viki ratings anything below 9 is a suspect drama - below 8 is Oh Dear! Which means all shows are pretty much rated out of 2 - either like it or don't. On MDL there is still a pretence of being a review and discussion site. I have watched hundreds of dramas over the years and I only rate 4? as 10/10 There are plenty I have watched umpty times with enjoyment that I rate well below that.

You do know this is a review site, don't you?

Well, I've managed to watch 30 out of the 178 all the way through and a couple of those I only managed because I was still new to SE Asian Drama. I got through a couple more by skipping most of the story arcs I didn't like. I think I've probably tried over 90% of them.
So, on the whole I'm pretty on board. I'd pretty much agree with all the top 15 apart from Goblin which I rewatch regularly (all except the last episode - once was enough).

Bit too puerile for me I'm afraid, I struggled through the first episode and gave the second a good go and flicked through another. There are some good actors on show and the premise sounded interesting but just not my bag, every time it started to pull me in silliness ensued.
Good fun if the humour is your thing.

I was drawn in by a couple of Goblin and suchlike comparisons which are truly unjustified.

Modern C drama - Provide uncomplicated poorly thought-out hook to bring couple together, forget hook - rely on 'cute' interactions of Celeb leads with occasional tropes thrown in. Rinse. Repeat

An excellent review which I thoroughly agree with.

Got to halfway before the stupid things for the sake of keeping the plot going just got too much. It was an OK zombie thing but as ever zombies work better in films better than in series.

It takes time to change culture even once you accept it needs changing - The UK is still trying to sort out it's problem with male suicide and we've known about it for a while now.

I find with long dramas a judicious use of FF is your friend. PHN doesn't usually play leads which is probably why she's fun to watch.

I can't remember which now so let's stick with both. Park Ha Na is an actress that always catches my attention unfortunately many of her dramas just aren't my thing.
