I tried
Reasons I dropped this series:1 The whole production seemed cheap. It wasn't pleasant to watch. It was like my neighbor wrote a story and decided to call his friends and make it a series.
2 The plot was thin. It could be great but the development wasn't there.
3 The main actress overacted. She's cute but not the best actress.
4 The male lead actor is too bland and I can't say I find him any charm to make me continue watching this. I'd dare say he's untalented, although he tries.

Not romantic enough
Reasons I dropped this series:1 I like the actress since I watched the My Own Master and wanted to love this series, but although she acts well, I can't see as a romantic comedy heroine. She's pretty but not pretty or funny enough to be the lead in a rom com. Maybe the series isn't at all a rom com but this is what I expected from the premise.
2 Not enough romantic moments and after seeing how in Master of my Own I was waiting for the kiss that never came I decided to drop it since there were no signs that this would be romantic. At least in Master of my Own the male lead was terrific and the banter between them fantastic. But the romance was lacking and this seemed to go toward the same direction. Maybe the actress chooses this kind of roles, and kudos to her, but it's not for me.

Potential wasted
Reasons I dropped this series:1 The story seemed promising but it didn't deliver. It was bit over the top which I normally like but not this time.
2 The female lead was a bad actress. From the very fist minute I got an unpleasant vibe from her and I felt like she tried too hard to play her role. It was so forced I guessed what would happen. I don't like it when it feels like the actors aren't embracing their role and I see the acting. Of course it may be only me who feels that way for this particular actress in this role.

Untalented actress
Here is why I dropped this title:1 The acting of the female lead was atrocious. I haven't see her anywhere else so maybe I'm being unfair but here she was terrible.
2 The execution. I'm all for romantic comedies, and I can watch the same trope a million times. The Cinderella trope is one of my favorites but here the execution was bad. I stopped counting how many times I rolled my eyes. It's a shame since I was keen in watching it.

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.

Too boring
Here's why I stopped watching:1 I wanted to like it, but there was nothing original or especially funny. I don't discard a series just because it's not original. To be honest I like some tropes so much I don't mind watching them again and again, but it has to have something that will draw me in. The actors, the premise, the tone. Here I found nothing.
2 The actress. She's not charismatic enough for me to carry a bland series.

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.

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.
