So frustrating
Why I dropped this series:1 I hated the mother. I couldn't stand the way she behaved with her daughters. What kind of mother thinks she can impose her will to others? The kind I despise.
2 I don't like the man lead actor. I can tolerate him as SML but that's all. Although I could probably like him in a more goofy story.
3 The premise. I thought it would be fun, it was rather depressing. I only gave a 2 for the way the sister's story wrapped up. Otherwise awful.

I didn't like anything
Things I liked1 The ML. He's a good actor and when he has chemistry with his co stars he's great. Here it was rather creepy. the FL looks at least 15 years older than him and it bothered me much more than I thought.
Things I disliked
1 The FL. Too old to play the role like she's a teenager. Also not a great actress for me.
Things I hated
1 The creepy old guy. Not only I found him unattractive as a man but also ugly as character. Seriously this series made me uncomfortable for some reason.

Crappy ending
Why I dropped this title:1 I loved the USA Jane the Virgin and I was looking forward to this version. I liked the actor who played Raphael so I was even happier. Then I read how it ends and there's no way in heck I'll spend 16 hours for the series to end this way. Maybe they wanted to be different or they thought the ending was thought provoking, but to me it was just a slap on my face as a viewer. If you don't know the romantic comedy tropes don't write romantic comedies. I loved Michael in the original but that doesn't mean I wanted him with Jane. The whole premise went out of the window with this stupid ending. So bye., bye Woo Ri.

Worst series ever and I've seen a lot.
Things I liked1 Not a single one.
Things I hated
1 The FL. How on earth this untalented, ugly person gets roles? She couldn't act to save her life, unless you count as acting going around with a pout and looking miserable. What a poor excuse of an actress. I won't talk about anything else because even if there were some things that were decent she suck the joy out of everything. Not to mention she looks 50 and he looks 25 and that there was no chemistry. On the other hand how could it be chemistry with such a wooden actress? What a waste of my time. I won't waste a second more to talk about a series she destroyed with her poor acting.

Can't stand the main lead actor
Here's why I dropped this series:1 I thought at first that it would be fun and was ready to binge watch it. Then I realized that I couldn't stand watching the main male lead. I found his acting awful and his appearance ridiculous. I couldn't imagine watching another 15 episodes with him even if the story improved. Sometimes it's many things don't work but some other times one thing is enough to make you drop a series. With so many choices I don't intend to waste my time.

Too depressing
Reasons I dropped this series:1 I didn't like at all the leads. For some reason I disliked both of them. Maybe I should persevere and their chemistry gets better, but I didn't feel them wand with so many choices out there I can't waste my time if the first episodes don't draw me in.
2 It seems he's kind of a jerk to her and I don't particularly like that. When there's a reason linked to them yes, but for external reasons like he had a miserable childhood, no way. I'm not saying this is what happened here, I have no idea why he was a jerk, I'm explaining why the reviews influenced me, which happens rarely.

I tried twice
The reasons I dropped this series:1 I tried once and the female lead got on my nerves. I found her acting unconvincing. But then I saw so many praise it I wanted to give it another chance. Again it was a pain to get to the next ten minutes. I finally got to the end of the first episode but there was no way I could stand the actress. Maybe she got better in the future episodes but we have so many choices I decided not to waste my energy on this.
2 Another reason is that I avoid in general anything that ahs to do with the field of medicine but I wanted to give this a chance due to good reviews.

Hate that kind of romantic triangle
I stopped this series for these reasons:1 Although the plot seemed interesting, the first episodes were too slow and too dark. I thought it would be dark, but I felt depressed right away so I couldn't get through the third episode.
2 I dislike thoroughly romantic triangles and moreover when best friends or family is involved.

Awful actor
Reasons I dropped this series:1 I gave this a chance because anything that has to do with cooking is on my favorite list of series. Then I watched a few minutes and realized that even for that kind of plot I couldn't watch this actor any longer. I know I have a problem, but he reminded me of a pervert and my stomach clenched each time I saw him. I know it's not fair but I'm one of those women who hate mustaches and even if the person is the sweetest in the world they give me pervert vibes. I also find the actor too old and not handsome at all so the deal is sealed.
2 The age gap trope is one I hate, but again because of the kitchen theme I wanted to try it. I don't think he's good enough to make me get over my disliking of age gap stories.
3 That's a bit more complicated. I don't find the main actress beautiful at all. I find her plain and rater unattractive, but I can't understand why since I find her great in Hidden Love. Go figure. Not that I think she's beautiful in Hidden Love but I'm able to love her because of the story and her talent. No such luck here.

What the heck was that?
Things I liked1 Not a single one.
Things I disliked
1 Every single minute.
2 The ML. He's good looking and maybe one day he'll be perfect for the mL in a drama, but here he was wrong cast and he didn't make me believe one second in his story with the FL. He had zero chemistry with her, although I don't blame him, she was awful, but still, he wasn't good enough to be the male lead.
Things I hated
1 The FL actress. So untalented and unattractive, every time she spoke or appeared I wanted to yell. How on earth did she land the role? On the other hand the role itself was beyond terrible so at least a talented actress didn't waste her time. She had one or two expression the whole time, she never make me feel anything not despair, not empathy, not anything remotely close to romance. She was terrible in every scene.
2 The broken promise. You give me a blurb and a poster that screams rom com, and then you give me zero chemistry, and the worst, you give me a drama that is dark and stupid beyond any point. That wasn't a script any writer with a brain would write. It was awful. But again the most frustrating was the promise that wasn't kept. This has become a staple these past few months. You wait eagerly for a rom com based on blurb and poster and then you have something awful that plays out as if the people behind it never watched a rom com in their life.

Awful leads
Reasons I dropped this series:1 I thought it'd be funny and I like the idea of an open relationship between the leads, something different finally, but I found the actors so off putting I could barely finish the first episode. I could have persevered but the thought of seeing them for another 15 episodes was unbearable. I'm not talking about the characters but about how uncharismatic are both actors.
2 The love triangle. Not surprising that there is one, it's in all K and Cdramas, but I hate the trope and it seems here is more prominent than usual so that's also a reason I didn't even move to the second episode.

Unbearable acting
Reasons I dropped this series:1 This is the third time i try a short drama and I find the constant inner voice talking too much. It can be great when it's funny thoughts but when it's overdone and is about serious feelings it gets fast annoying. This series was no exception.
2 The FL actress. What an untalented actress. No need to say more, my niece who's 12 is a better actress when she plays in our communal theater.
3 The story. I don't care about the amnesia trope and when it's combined with children it's even worse. So hard pass for me.
4 The whole production was cheap and it showed.

Awfully bad actress
Reasons I dropped this series:1 I'm sure I'm missing something but it's the first time I don't like a drama that is high rated. The main reason is that the actress isn't cute or pretty enough to pout and play the romantic comedy heroine. I found her very bland and fake. I also found that from the first minute I've seen her I wanted her to fail. Never felt that before.
2 The chemistry between the leads wasn't there. I've seen the male lead actor in several dramas and here he had the worst chemistry, actually, he had none, with his co-lead.
3 The first episode was the worst I've ever seen. So cringe. Who does that in another couple's pre-wedding party. I hated every minute of the party scene.

Terrible actors
Reasons I dropped this series:1 Age gap trope. I have to admit when I start watching I didn't know that it was this trope. Although it's not the main reason I dropped the series, it didn't help at all to keep watching.
2 It's rare for me but I didn't like at all the female character. Something in her mannerisms and tone made her character antipathetic.
3 The actor isn't too good in my opinion. Maybe he's not too experienced, I didn't search any information about him, but he seemed uncomfortable.
4 The actress isn't great either. It felt to me like she thought she was the lead and she could be arrogant and go up to the stage and say: hey, look at me, I'm the lead in a new series. I don't know, nothing worked for me.

I hated it from the start
Things I hated1 The husband ad the mother in law. If you let people treat you like garbage I will definitely won't care about your life and that's my short but honest review. I watched the whole episode but nothing made me change my mind. I didn't even like the daughter to be honest so I couldn't be invested at all.
