Was it really easy to read! omg. This makes me so happy. Would you mind point out what made it easy to follow, so if I write more, I can incorporate it to other articles as well?
I see quite a lot of people who don't drop dramas are just more careful about picking what to start watching :)

I feel you. Sometimes I skip some seconds here and there to get to the dialog ot any actions. Sure, some aesthetic shots are nice, but damn at times I have no time and patient for them.

Not really. I mean, it;s not like I can't pick it up again later on, even if I drop it.
Like right now I'm doing this 2nd chance project. The same way I dropped a drama, now I can un-drop it hahaha

oh, I know the feeling of dropping shows that majority of people loves and are obsessed with. Like now, I dropped It;s Okay to Not Be Okay and I have no regrets.

oh yeah, the Chinese dramas are different for me too. I'm willing to watch a bit more of them before I drop, since the plot tends to be a bit slower and they have more plot lines and characters.

oh, I'm quite liberal on what dramas I start watching. Too many times I picked some random show that looked like I won't enjoy it, just to become one of my favorites. Since my interested are quite broad. The only genres I truly can't stand are long family dramas, pure melodramas and lakorns < these I don't even try.

Thank you so much for liking my article too :)

as I read comments I see a lot of people skip scenes. Or watch dramas 2x speed :) You are not the only one

the first gif is from Boys Over Flowers :)

awww, thank you so much. I wrote it right after I finished writing my master's thesis. I guess I missed writing just for me and pure enjoyment, so I was able to relax more and make it a bit more entertaining :)

oh, I have quite a lot of dramas on "not interested" list too. It's a blessing tbh to have it.
My watchlist is a mess, since I don't update my ratings. So the things I rated high back in the days still have these high ratings lol

wow, that's funny hahaha I guess that's your pet peeve. I feel you tho, this type of scene was overused so much, I get annoyed with it too...

wow. that's really interesting, that you struggled so much to finish dramas at the beginning.
Reading what you are saying, I guess you just like shows with elements of fantasy. The korean ones you named that you enjoyed have it :)

it amazes me when people say they tried to watch show 3 or more times... like damn. I can barely give them 2nd chance, no way I would try 3rd...

And I guess that's also the case, that once you watch a truly good show, it's hard to find something to follow up (and Gokusen was that for you, I assume).

I mean... if it was not meant to be... If it takes me 30 minutes to watch first 10 minutes of drama, it;s obviously not for me.
I will give Big Issue another go, since I'm doing the 2nd chance project :)

I pick up shows that don;'t even sound that good, might be why I drop so often haha

it's an accident it works on drak mode, since I finished it before dark mode was introduced hahahha

oh kdramas and jdramas are two whole different worlds hahaha

glad to hear that :)

Oh Boys Over Flowers being favorite drama? I can relate! Same here, tho for me, I was obsessed with Kim Bum. Since in BoF he played that definition of the mysterious bad boy that was hurt in the past and now needs a good girl to help him love again hahahaha omg this sounds so ridiculous now hahaha

I'm shocked how many people related to what I have written but it makes me crazy happy :)

I stopped feeling guilty about dropping quite some time ago. Even if it;s a show with the best cast I could dream of, if it's ain't made for me, I will not finish it :)
