Not all second chances go smoothly though < true. And honestly, never felt bad about not liking NiF. Actually, me not liking it lead to few funny interactions with friends and inside jokes so I kind of embrace it now :)

Oh, I had the similar habit at the beginning of watching dramas. I did not drop anything, I just couldn't hahaha I called that phase "ENTHUSIASTIC BABY" in my previous article hahahaha not only it was easier to please me, I also felt guilty about dropping stuff. Not exactly the same reasons as you, but the end result was the same hahaha

yeah but only you can check the notes you write on mdl for a drama :)
that's why I feel ok about using it hahaha

What I've noticed: the more dramas we saw, the harder it is to impress us and truly enjoy a show. Coz we have higher expectations based on our experience with different shows.

Glad Vincenzo worked for you at the end tho! It's on my ptw list. Wanted to watch it after it drops on polish netflix, but when it did after the drama fully aired, I've got busy with other shows :(

I had google doc before I started using mdl, but now I put all my info here. If there is any specific annotation I want to do to a drama, I usually just use note option.

I do use google doc for writing reviews tho. Usually I start writing some thought as I watch the show and then form based on it and put it on mdl :)

Watching TT was just pain and frustration hahaha I tried 2nd season, but that one was just boring af.

Oh, it makes sense. Sometimes I feel like I've watched too many shows in the same genre in a row and need some break from it too

Well... time is not that bad. I had like 2 months when I completely stopped the project and did not watch one episode. I do it when I have less dramas on my ptw, or when I feel like I'm getting into a slump etc :)

damn. Well... this is for sure not for everyone. I'm doing it coz I'm truly having fun with the process. It's a good way for me to get out of a slump too.

I could never skip to 5th episode and not watch the 3 between 1 and 5 haha I either watch it all or drop it. But I have to say, that's some unique system. Glad it works for you. I don't have that "i want to know how the drama ends" tbh. For me the process of getting to that ending is what's interesting. I'm fine with not getting the closure (open endings are some of my favorite ones).

Good luck then! Take your time, and honestly, if you won't like the experience, feel free to stop. I'm doing it coz it's truly fun for me. But if it makes someone anxious or annoyed, there is no reason to do that :)

Oh, well, going with on hold is good too! I don;t have on hold, so for me dropped is the only way to go :D

You can take time with it. I never prioritize dropped dramas over the shows I am watching. I watch one or two episodes when I am done with currently airing ones, or I am in the mood to the "challenge" lol

oh, good to know! It is on my ptw list, will remember to be more patient with it hahaha

It's quite a normal thing on mdl I see often: people stop watching shows they enjoy, coz a new "shiny new toy" aka new drama shows up. The beginning of the shows are usually excited so we sometimes lose interest in the show we've been watching. Sometimes, all we need is a bit of a break for them to watch them again :)

I use random number generator formy ptw too hahaha I hate wasting time picking shows for hours, this solves the problem :)

oh, you have some well love titles in your dropped list hahaha Misaeng is on my ptw list. Everyone tells me I will love it hahahah

It's not for everyone hahaha if someone is sure, they will not like the shows they dropped, or they don't want to waste time with hopes of finding few good ones, then they don't have to do it.

But I myself have quite a lot of fun with this project :)

Oh, I totally do not have the "I have to finish everything I started" feeling. It's more on, for example: I drop shows coz I watch too many atm and feel overwhelmed. So it;s not like I dislike the shows, I just could not keep up. So I am sure I dropped shows I would love.

Well... I have such a "on a whim" reasons to drop dramas, I dropped quite a few I know I would like if I watched them in a different time (less stressful in real life, less currently watching airing shows etc.). I'm having a lot of fun with the project tbh. Sometimes I find hidden gems, sometimes I can entertain myself with ranting about how bad the show is not feeds hahaha
