Relatable and sharing the pain makes it easier. xD

Thank you! <3

Thank you! :)

Yes I meant the demon prince. He was indeed a sad character. I wished better things for him.

Thank you, your comments on my articles always make my day. 😘

Thank you! I agree with you but the topic is sensitive and it can always happen that someone feels personally attacked if ones says something negative about their favorites or vice versa. Before I dared to write it, I hesitated as well. Maybe that stops a lot of people from writing such an article. You can check out these articles though who are similar:

Thank you for reading. :) I also felt like I had to complete dramas but the more often I felt sorry and like I wasted my time the better I got in dropping dramas. I think that's similar for most of us.

Thank you! All the good reviews on Eternal Love made me think the drama has something I cannot see but my taste is just different from those who loved it. Later I saw I'm not alone with this. The drama could've done well with less episodes, it didn't need so much to tell its story.
Woo Do Hwan was truly a saviour for TKEM. Without him I would've dropped this without hesitation.
Hope you find the right way for yourself regarding ITSAY. ^^

She means Eternal Love. The drama titles are too similar so they often get mixed up. :)

Thanks for reading. ^^
I'm sure you will learn from your own experience. That's probably best as my experience is not speaking for everyone out there.

It's true that Eternal Love has a huge amount of fans but not all liked the drama. As for Melting Me Softly and TKEM, both received a lot of critic. It's near impossible that everyone loves the same drama. Tastes are different. :)

Thank you! I understand what you mean. You have to feel really attached to a story to not care about boring fillers. My favorite historical C-Dramas with more than 30 episodes so far are The Long Ballad and The Untamed. Those didn't require skipping scenes on my side. Have you tried shorter historical C-dramas like The Romance of Tiger and Rose with 24 episodes? They often have a more funny approach but can be quite good.

Thank you! I almost included True Beauty here. xD I didn't though because my emotions are still fresh on this one and at the moment I can hardly find anything good (read nothing) about it. I wholeheartedly agree to what you say about it. I have to admit the drama triggered me really badly. If I ever make a part 2 of this article, it will be included though.

I feel you. Before I came across some really bad spoilers I did the same.
Now I still need to stop myself from reading comments but I got way better. I only read the first or second comment on top before I scroll back up and leave. xD
I don't want to risk anymore having to drop a drama I enjoy because I saw a spoiler that ruins my experience.

"don't hold on to a mistake just because you soent a lot of time making it" I love that quote. So accurate and has a healing vibe. <3
Yeah the watch challenges made me stick to quite some dramas. I escaped this year though and dropped a drama on episode 7 out of 56.
Since dropping is like "done with it for good" to me I hesitate and give them usually a couple more episodes or at least skip through some but if even that doesn't show me something that makes it worth continuing I'm able to drop without having a bad conscience.
Thank you, this means a lot to me. I'm all for respecting other opinions even if they don't match yours. So I wanted this article to reflect my opinion without giving anyone the feeling I just badmouthed their favorite drama. ^^

Thank you for reading. Happy to hear you like it. :)

It's astounding how some dramas manage to not get boring with over 50 episodes while others feel draggy as hell with less than the half of it. I think it depends on how much material the story provides and how well a drama is written. ^^
I'm not sure if one can lower the expectations to the point TKEM requires. Sorry, that's the side of me talking who really tried to oversee the many flaws but at some point gave up. xD

My personal advice on Dali Temple would be to continue. The end might not be to your liking but I found the drama still worth it. Like you, I loved the FL. :) And like azaz suggested you can fast forward the scenes of the villains. They are pretty pointless.
I ended up watching TKEM on my tv with bigger screen so I could play games and do other stuff while glancing at it once in a while. xD

Same. Thing is, I ended up dropping Eternal Love of Dream. xD
I was just so unhappy by episode 7 and how the story included things I disliked in Eternal Love that I couldn't bring myself to continue it. I watch fanmade videos with the pairing instead.

I would probably think the same if it wasn't for Woo Do Hwan. He managed to rescue at least parts of the drama for me. xD
I can relate to what you say about skipping. I think it depends on what or how much you skip though. I even skip in dramas I love if there are small things I find irrelevant for the story like shots of the city showing a sunset or night sky in a medical drama (Night Doctor), these shots were nice in the first couple episodes but I skipped them later because they repeated themselves. The drama itself was a good one though imo. I also almost always skip intros, credits and previews. That's why for me skipping is not per se an indication it's time to drop a drama. :)
