Hello, even the most popular and highest rated dramas sometimes don't do it for everyone. Take this quiz and find out if you can guess the drama based on a review of someone who hated it.
To see if you got it right, just pass the mouse over the text marked as a spoiler!
 ''It is the typical old friends realize they like each other after seeing them with other people.'' It's Okay to Not Be Okay My First First Love My First First Love (2019) |
''If you don't mind watching a silly girl being despised by a despicable prince all over the drama just because you like fairy tales, you may appreciate it.'' Rooftop Prince GoongMoon Embracing the Sun Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo Goong |
 ''If the writer's intention was to make me cry, I'm afraid she got the opposite effect: when the same person falls from a cliff, is struck by lightning, is submerged by a tsunami, attacked by giant ants, kidnapped by aliens, laughed at by a leprechaun and burnt alive in a furnace in case he hadn't yet died, I can't help but laugh.'' The Innocent Man (2012) |
 '' A middle-aged guy stabbing thugs with scissors? The villain killing off all sorts of guys without even bringing a trace of doubt to the public? An international security service police fanboying a Mafia?'' Vincenzo |
 ''For a show that keeps pushing the idea that beauty isn't everything and personality matters more, you would think they would give the two leads some pretty interesting personalities to work with. But no, the two leads were the most uninteresting characters I think I have ever come across in a Korean drama.'' My ID Is Gangnam Beauty True Beauty Beautiful Gong Shim Queen of the Ring My ID Is Gangnam Beauty |
 ''The most frustrating thing about the show is probably the fact that the "genius" male lead isn't a genius at all. He made a lot of mistakes that could have been well avoided. '' Extracurricular (2020) |
''There is a popular term that people use when they want to express their disbelief in enjoying something that's obviously in a bad taste. "It's like watching a train wreck, you just can't look away''. And this is exactly the case with *Drama title*, it's so bad yet so addictive. '' The Penthouse: War in Life Cheese in the Trap The Last Empress (2018) |
''You take the robot element out of it and you're just left with another chaebol drama with cheesy romance on the side.'' I'm Not a Robot Are You Human Too? My Absolute Boyfriend Memories of the Alhambra Are You Human Too? |
''This love story between a boring young girl and a completely unprofessional CEO was truly dull at times and slightly enjoyable at others.'' What's Wrong with Secretary Kim Introverted Boss My Lovely Girl (2014) |
''A drama with a shallow love story plot, that's it. Nothing exciting and encouraging. It's just flat like a food filled with so much sugar and nothing more.'' Touch Your Heart Crash Landing on You Suspicious Partner Her Private Life Touch Your Heart |
 ''It's basically a movie-length CF, and I only watched it to kill some downtime at work.'' True Beauty Memories of the Alhambra The King: Eternal Monarch 7 First Kisses 7 First Kisses (2016) |
 ''So, the drama was just like this: boy falls in love with a popular but childish and naive girl, they get together, many try to set them apart, boy comes to the rescue every single time, happy ending. There was no character development, no love story build-up, and no surprises.''Strong Woman Do Bong Soon Coffee & Vanilla Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo Goblin Coffee and Vanilla (2019) |
