Constantly voicing out hate on the TCs is the same as having someone constantly yell out obscenities and mock a movie while watching it in a movie theater. < it's not. You can turn off the live comment. You can't turn off the volume os someone screaming in theater. So it's not the same.

Also, mocking character's looks has nothing to do with hate-watching, it's just being rude, since the character's looks is how the actor/actress looks. Not every person who rants about the show is rude about it and how they voice their complaints.

I'd say the curiosity is the strongest reason. I am just amazed at times, how ridiculous the plot can get hahaha

The entertainment does not come from the drama itself, but rather analysing the flaws and ranting hahaha it's just a different from of fun 🤣 Since I don't do it often, I never saw it as a huge waste of time for me.

As for the comments - I strongly believe we either all can write whatever we want, be it positive or negative, or no one can wrote anything.

oh these are the ones I just cannot watch. The level of anger they bring in me is dangerous lol

I tried to rewatch it last year and failed at episode 4 🤣

Damn, I do it all: drop, skip scenes, watch on 2x speed 🤣
I'm like the worst audience ever, and you are the best

yeah, and somehow they always able to surprise me 🤣

Hope-watching is the only type I do not do. I just drop shows, fast. Honestly, I can;t even describe why some shows I drop and some shows I hate-watch. What the show has to have for me to hate-watch 🤣

Movies are good to hate-watch coz they are shorter, so you minimalize the "waste of time" aspect from it 🤣

It is possible to be like Hyunsoo, as in believing you have a disorder you do not have, and act accordingly. BUT they added the plot of him researching the subject, they added the aspect of him actually being extremely smart. The details did not match. They can't tell me he thinks is a psychopath, a smart person to that, when they show doing exercises psychopaths would not need to do ever. When his biggest issue is something psychopaths do not struggle with. How did he even got to the idea of all that practice, when any type of research would never lead him to the idea it's something he has to do. Coz psychopaths do not struggle with mimicking emotions and reading people. They struggle with truly feeling what other people do in a given situation so it's an emotional empathy problem, but cognitively wise, they are able to understand the emotions.

It's not about just the fact he believed in the misdiagnosis and acted according with it. It's about all the details of how his character was presented and the circumstances that do not add up.

As for cults. There is a reason people get separated from society when they join cults. This way the information they can access is limited so they are not confronted with the truth. But they told us ML did the research... implemented some aspects of it into his daily life (so he understood it), but also completely ignored the fact the things he is doing do not match with psychopathy at all, so he did not understand it.

I never said he was confident. I said he was shown to be smart at many instances.

And again, it's all about poor writing for me. If you want me to believe a character is confused - do NOT show me they did an excessive research on the topic and used the information they learned to function well in society. Coz what they tried to tell me he both understood everything, and understood nothing of what he studied.

+ it just shows the lack of research the writer made. Coz this whole mimicking facial expressions and reading people's feelings is something psychopaths DO NOT struggle with, but people with ASD do. This whole aspect made no sense with his diagnosis.

I had the same issue with It's Okay to Not Be Okay. Main character was introduced by psychopath, but by the end of the show she was not and she was getting better coz of people around her, when psychopathy does not work like that. Most dramas that name a specific disorder a character was diagnosed with or misdiagnosed with does a poor job with characterisation of the symptoms. They show what they want psychopathy to be and what fits the plot, and not what psychopathy is. When they just could tell us characters have some psychological issues, without telling us specifics, and this way they would solve their own problems.

I was unhappy with the casting, so I passed and did not even start watching it 🤣
But it was extremely popular, and I know what happens under popular dramas' comment section hahaha

The more dramas you see, the harder it is to actually truly love one.

oh I knew Mouse will be ridiculous mess since episode one, coz of all the pseudoscience 🤣 Luckily I was able to drop fast.

A show I find boring will never become a hate watch for me, and I will simply drop it. It must be a certain level of ridiculousness and poor writing that hits just the right pet peeves of mine for me to finish a drama as a hate-watch. that's why it rarely happens. I maybe truly hate-watched 10 shows? Nothing compared to 122 I dropped.

The "bad show" is such a vague idea tho. There are not really general criteria for it that are objective and apply for everyone. What is good writing, good directing, good editing, etc? You will get as many different answers as people on mdl. Everyone sees it different, defines it differently and focuses on different aspects when watching a show.

I mostly drop dramas I dislike too, but sometimes there are special cases, when the show is just so ridiculously bad, it's actually fun to take it apart and analyse what did not work out.

Remember, no one can stay single in k-drama teen romance 🤣 From a Distance Spring Is Green was a mediocre show and complete failure of an adaptation.

2gether was fun, as you said till they got together. But Bright and Win had no romantic chemistry, and they just seemed like a bros on screen...

A Love So Beautiful was truly a fun story, but Korean ver, just... nope. Dropped it after maybe 2 episodes? It just did not capture the original story well.

SAME! Well Intended Love was such a wild and frustrating ride. ML is a true psycho 🤣

Nevertheless... oof. I have to say the comment section of the show was far more entertaining than the drama itself.

"Bloody Romance is a perfect example. Well-Intended Love too (enjoyed this hate watch far more than Bloody Romance).
I would also count Tonhon Chonlatee as hate watch. These are the "top" 3 from this year." < copied from a reply I made to someone else below.

Truth to be told, I don't hate-watch Korean dramas. I just drop them. They do not fit my "hate-watching" criteria usually. I never feel like it would be a fun experience.

Honestly, when I only saw like 5o dramas, everything was good to me, or at least entertaining. But now after seeing 500+ dramas, the perspective changed. I started to see more flaws, and I am more aware that they can be overcome with good writing, directing and some care put into projects. Misunderstandings based on the lack of communication? Sure, but there needs to be a reason for it. impossibly good characters (morally) - sure, but they have to have some flaws, otherwise they are unrealistic, I can't connect to them on any level, and I end uop just not caring about what will happen to them.

I mean, back in the days I loved Boys Over Flowers, gave it 10/10, rewatched it like 10 times. I tried to rewatch it last year and failed at 4th episode. The more dramas you watch, the chances are the more critical you become. Since you will see the "necessary plot devices" are not really necessary.

What a dedication. If I don't like a drama, I usually drop, no matter if I love the whole cast. There ate just some special bad dramas that are perfect for a hate watching hahaha
