The only one I didn't watch yet is Please come back ahjussi. All the others are my favs. <3 Can't call them melo, though. They're rom-coms with a spoonfull of drama. But that's just that.
I have completely dropped my frustrated expectations that this was an awesome and refreshing drama... after episode 10's clownish display of how to successfully make people understand this nothing is a rom-com in disguise, I expect nothing more than that from Missing 9. Episode 11 was a good laugh after the trauma episode 10 represented to me. Perhaps the writers are attempting to make something new out of mixing genres that don't usually go together??? Like comedy and tragedy, per say. But... well... in the end, we can see why those aren't usually mixed since they don't really go WELL together. At all. A for effort but F for unintelligence.
So from this point on, I'll just watch Missing 9 for the comedy it is or else I won't be able to rate it low enough. In fact, I'm just flipping my eyes from the screen to my sewing projects as I go since nothing that I thought was important really means anything. No point paying close attention then.
Looking at the comments, i can already tell that my opinions on the drama wont be agreed with much... but im gonna…

I see. I might have done that as well but, like most, I rely on the ratings a lot more (even though I know they're not always accurate as well but, at least, those represent the majority of the opinions). Relying on comments is not a good move. Reviews are the best way to go because you can take a good idea on how the drama develops and if there are straight 10's and also "hater's" reviews that come with no argument at all. I also dislike comments like "Dropping it. It's a waste of time." or "This drama is the worse I've ever seen.". Those carry no reasons at all, just an opinion and the comment area is meant for opinions. The reviews is where you can go for an argument based opinion, you see? The way you put it, it's as if you're telling everyone to never write bad comments about any drama ever because people might not watch it for that reason. Nonetheless, many people might watch the drama after reading positive comments and end up hating it and get angered for wasting their times. I'm not talking about Missing 9 in particular but... for me... Boys over flowers. It's one loved drama I completely despised. But it's so overrated that I forced myself into watching it till the very end until I found out the reason people love it so much and... never found it. It was a huge waste of my time and I get irritated at the mere memory of all that time spent. So your argument is kinda invalid and you see why, right? Everyone is free to comment anything they want in a drama's page. Incoming viewers is who should rely on reviews and ratings maybe instead of reading comments because they're mostly based on opinion. If we're talking about an on going drama, which is the case, they can surf through and read both positive and negative ARGUMENTS (not simple comments) to make up their mind - that's the smart thing to do. But hey, you did watch that drama in the end, right? Not back then, but eventually. What's there to regret? What did you miss out? Not much. I'd rather that happen to me than the opposite. I hardly ever watch on going dramas because I like to wait for people's reaction to it. Like you I have limited time so I need to filter well what I watch, make sure it'll be worth it because dropping a drama is a hard thing for me to do. This time I'm watching quite a few for other reasons like: I started Missing 9 for Chanyeol (but fell in love with everyone/thing else and I don't even miss him on screen), Rebel I'm watching for KyunSang in a lead role, Voice for the lead actors and also because I love psycho thrillers (at least those who are declared to be a psycho thriller lol), My shy boss for leading cast as well and Hwarang because I'm looking forward to it ever since late 2015 when it was first announced (but I'm in hate with it, pushing forward for a few actors as well).
But back to context, you're not any more right than Katy and me and, likewise, we're not any more right than you and anyone else who like Missing 9 to bits and seem to understand all the things we don't. We think you guys are blind and you think we are haters. But that's not true, both ways. I love lots of things about Missing 9 and I hate many other things about it as well. You guys don't seem to spot any flaws or just choose to ignore it as you take whatever they give you - and that's alright. When I'm watching a show without any expectations on it, it's a 10934182370x more enjoyable experience because instead of disappointment, I get surprised. Perhaps that's how you guys who defend the show with a passion feel - and that's great! We're the wrong ones for building up expectations but what can we do? It's unavoidable facing the huge start this show had and that's what you fail to understand, you see? In the end, while we get accused of being haters, it's you who lack comprehension. We have standards and expectations and you don't. We get frustrated and you don't. Isn't that so easy to understand? I know it's offensive to read a bad comment and/or opinion about something we love but there's a huge difference between haters and "deceived" lovers AND we are all different. Nothing pleases everyone and you should be ready for it and people who dislike something also have a right to have an opinion and share it, right? But anyways, my point was made long ago. I got carried away. ^-^'
