Dropped, & dramas I wish I'd dropped

This isn't an exhaustive list of the dramas I've dropped, there are many I just loose interest in, these are some of the ones I dropped for a specific reason.

There are a few things that will quickly turn me off of a drama, 

  • portraying the FL as strong by making her crass and violent
  • excessive amounts of cheating, or the drama being centered around cheating
  • Nasty love rivals or mothers-in-law
  • dragging out a drama with unnecessary filler episodes
  • drama not adding to the story, just drama for drama's sake
  • Junk science/psychology - sometime I can get past this if I try to think of the drama as science fiction
  • unrealistic scenarios/plots
  • Melodrama (I try not to even start these)
  • Palace politics, those left/right ministers irk me to no end. (I tend to avoid historical dramas)

  • 2 Moons 3 The Series

    1. 2 Moons 3 The Series

    Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes

    Episodes watched 10/12

    It was meh, noting outstanding about it. Thai BLs are starting to feel like they are adding racy scenes for no reason in particular. I don't mind steamy scenes, if they further the story, but in this drama they felt like they were just there, no real purpose, except to be steamy scenes.

  • Are You Human Too?

    2. Are You Human Too?

    Korean Drama - 2018, 36 episodes

    Episodes watched 7/36

    I think it's lazy writing to make a 'strong' female lead by making her abusive and deceitful. Almost everyone in the drama seems to be one or the other if not both.

  • Backstreet Rookie

    3. Backstreet Rookie

    Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes

    Episodes watched - 1/16

    It pains me to drop a Ji Chang Wook drama

    bullying, random violence, I get far too irritated when the FL is a pushover and it seems that it bothers me just as much if it's the ML who is, and even more when it's JCW's character.

  • Catch Me Baby

    4. Catch Me Baby

    Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes

    Episodes watched - 2/12

    Cheating, this drama takes cheating to a whole other level, I really want to watch Nat/James though.

  • Check Out

    5. Check Out

    Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes

    Episodes watched - 4/12

    I loved the Special Episode, but I feel that the writers ruined the drama with the infidelity trope, there could have been plenty of story and drama without it.

  • Coffee Melody

    6. Coffee Melody

    Thai Drama - 2022, 10 episodes

    Episodes watched - 6/10

    It's very slow, which I can usually deal with, but it was also frustrating, Duean Yi is quite self absorbed and ep 7 when he should have been able to tell that Pleng wanted nothing to do with First but wouldn't let him explain and then the waterworks. Oh please, I'm out.

  • Momoiro Anzuiro Sakuro

    7. Momoiro Anzuiro Sakuro

    Japanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes

    Episodes Watched 1/6

    (aka - Color of Romance) The FL is supposed to be the MLs & SMLs boss but they easily push her around, she's a doormat with absolutely no backbone, it's just another Japanese 'romance' where the ML doesn't understand consent.

  • Fluttering Warning

    8. Fluttering Warning

    Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes

    Episodes watched - 11/16

    (aka - Love Alert) The love rival was such an awful, nasty person

  • I Hear Your Voice

    9. I Hear Your Voice

    Korean Drama - 2013, 18 episodes

    Episodes watched 0.5/18

    Eesh, the angst starts off early, I might have tried to continue if it wasn't so dated (to be expected, it's from 2013) but I'm not in the mood for melodrama, I just wanted the fantasy & suspense.

  • Love in the Moonlight

    10. Love in the Moonlight

    Korean Drama - 2016, 18 episodes

    Episodes watched - 9/18

    This was one of the first historical dramas I watched, before I realized that I rarely enjoy them.

    I can't quite remember why I dropped it, but I'd guess there awas far too much palace politics, I usually want to throw the left/right ministers off a cliff.

  • Love Mechanics

    11. Love Mechanics

    Thai Drama - 2022, 10 episodes

    Episodes watched - 4/12

    I don't know why I even tried, I couldn't stand their toxicity in En of Love, why would it be any better in the full drama?

  • Lovestruck in the City

    12. Lovestruck in the City

    Korean Drama - 2020, 17 episodes

    Episodes watched 10/17

    Another JCW drama, I can't watch Wookie being abused

    I hate Eun O, she knows she torturing Jae Won and refuses to show up. He's too good for her, I hope he moves on. This is a throw you laptop type drama for me, I just can't see finishing it.

  • Vuoi sposare mio marito?

    13. Vuoi sposare mio marito?

    Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes

    6.0

    Episodes watched 12/16

    I wanted it like this, it has a similar plot to Perfect Marriage Revenge which I really liked, but this one tortured the FL too much. I though one nasty wench was enough, but to throw in another even worse love rival near the end is beyond my tolerance. 

  • Memory Love

    14. Memory Love

    Taiwanese Drama - 2017, 18 episodes

    6.0

    Episodes watched - 1 - 11 & end of 18

    I dropped this because the 'best friends' were so two-faced and awful to the FL, I couldn't stand them and worried for the safety of my laptop. Even so, for some reason I wanted to know how this one ended so I got a recap of episodes 12 - 17 from a friend and watched the last bit of the final episode. 

  • Meteor Garden

    15. Meteor Garden

    Chinese Drama - 2018, 50 episodes

    7.0

    Episodes watched - 22/50

    This just went on and on. Same story as BOF but with so much filler, it felt like it was never going to end. The added content didn't do anything for me, it's just extra drama to drag out the series.

  • Mirror of the Witch

    16. Mirror of the Witch

    Korean Drama - 2016, 20 episodes

    Episodes watched - 6/20

    The Queen & sorceress are just too nasty for me

  • Il mio strano eroe

    17. Il mio strano eroe

    Korean Drama - 2018, 32 episodes

    Episodes watched - 4/32

    Letting a 30 y/o go back to high school is unrealistic, and just too much anxiety inducing drama

  • Yi Ai Wei Ying

    18. Yi Ai Wei Ying

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 36 episodes

    Episodes watched 8/36

    They are both supposed to be professionals, him a CEO, her a journalist, but they aren't in the least professional. They both play petty games, it's annoying. 

  • Phantom School

    19. Phantom School

    Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes

    Episodes watched - 1/8

    I started because it's supernatural and short, but I guess I was expecting too much out of it. The acting is bad, and the writing is basic. *shrug*

  • The Great Seducer

    20. The Great Seducer

    Korean Drama - 2018, 32 episodes

    Episodes watched - 6/32

    The female friend of the guys is just too nasty.

  • The Crowned Clown

    21. The Crowned Clown

    Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes

    Episodes watched - 10/16

    I knew I shouldn't start it, but it just sounded so interesting, and I like Yeo Jin Goo's acting, but there's too much political drama for me. Yeo Jin Goo's acting was amazing, and part of me wants to finish, but there's just too much angst.

  • Sseol

    22. Sseol

    Korean Movie - 2021

    5.0

    % of movie watched - 100%

    This movie was so disjointed, it really seemed like the director told everyone where to start, gave them the gist of the plot and let them improvise the rest. It was a mess. If I didn't have my watch party friends to keep me company this would have been a complete waste of time.

  • The Spring Day of My Life

    23. The Spring Day of My Life

    Korean Drama - 2014, 16 episodes

    Episodes watched - 1/16

    The FL is too much of a brat and I don't typically like Melodramas.

  • The Smile Has Left Your Eyes

    24. The Smile Has Left Your Eyes

    Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes

    8.5

    Episodes watched - 16/16

    I should have gone with my instincts and dropped it; I almost never enjoy melodramas. The father and secretary having no retribution simply pisses me off.

  • U-Prince: The Foxy Pilot

    25. U-Prince: The Foxy Pilot

    Thai Drama - 2016, 4 episodes

    3.0

    Episodes watched 2/4

    I don't know how I made it to the 5th series, I should have stopped watching the Handsome Cowboy, he was far too toxic and couldn't stay faithful for more than 5 minutes.

    I  couldn't finish The Foxy Piolet, Aurora is so selfish and self-centered, I can't imagine how anyone would fall for her.

  • U-Prince The Series:  The Handsome Cowboy

    26. U-Prince The Series: The Handsome Cowboy

    Thai Drama - 2016, 8 episodes

    1.0

    Episodes watched - 8/8

    I should have dropped this one, Sibtit isn't just a 'bad boy' he's toxic and has no redeeming qualities, and Prikkang lets herself be a doormat and keeps taking him back.  I can't imagine how I finished it.

  • Umbrella

    27. Umbrella

    Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes

    Episodes Watched - 2/16

    I started Under the Queen's Umbrella thinking it was about the queen trying to get her mischievous sons under control. Why would I think an historic Kdrama would be humorous and fun. Nope, the Dowager and consorts are as awful and scheming as ever. Nope, just nope.

    It seems to be well written and acted, so I'm sure it's a good drama if you enjoy the usual palace intrigue. 

  • Voice 4: Tempo del Giudizio

    28. Voice 4: Tempo del Giudizio

    Korean Drama - 2021, 14 episodes

    Episodes Watched - 1/14

    The short killer clown is just not for me. Nope. Thanks. Bye.

  • The Love You Give Me

    29. The Love You Give Me

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 28 episodes

    Episodes Watched 8/28

    Reviews on this were good, and it seemed like a lighthearted drama, but I don't like how the FL is written. Mostly it's her disregard of ML as a father, and actively trying to keep him out of Quanquan's life. My breaking point was FL gaslighting her son.
