Kdramas and Cdramas I did't finish, but you might like

As the title says, i could not finish these dramas, due to personal preferences, but i can see them being popular among others. I felt like putting these dramas in any of my other lists can be unfair because i'd be comparing basically the 'good parts' of these incompleted dramas (basically nitpicking) to other dramas. Well, i try to provide some reasoning behind me not finishing the dramas, but don't be afraid to start them if you are interested, because these are by no means bad. 

Ps. this is not a ranked list, but you might be able to gauge how much i like the drama from the rating i gave (note that it is not accurate because, u guessed it, i didt finish them).

  • Falling Into Your Smile

    1. Falling Into Your Smile

    Chinese Drama - 2021, 31 episodes

    7.5

    So, this is the only incompleted drama of mine that is in my Cdrama list. It is a good drama obviously (it landed itself first place). But... i lost interest, in the plot, in the leads, just the drama. It is a slight issue of mine because once the leads end up together, i tend to lose interest in the drama especially if the plot is weak, and the only thing holding the drama together is the tension before they get together. Yep, so a short review.. esports styled cdrama, best of its kind in my opinion. They focused a little, but not too much on females being in esports (which i personally think is getting better nowadays, maybe that is why its not really a big plot line in this drama? The writer do not think it is important to address it perhaps?). What this means is, other than some jealous fans, there is actually no hate towards the female lead FROM other gamers. Which i really think is significant, and normalizes female gamers in esports! And the male lead is Xu Kai which is one of my fav Chinese actors, so woo for me :D Okay, thats it, i can't be bothered to get much into it, its decent, watch it if you are bored.

  • The Handmaiden

    Korean Movie - 2016

    Neither a Cdrama or a Kdrama. It is a Kmovie. It is really good, it is about lesbians ~~ And the female lead is literally one of my favs as well. I stopped watching halfway because i got distracted and i never came back to it (100% on me and not the movie). Ok, its good, watch it if you like rische type, lesbian shows :D

  • Legend of Fei

    3. Legend of Fei

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 51 episodes

    Its good, but idk i wasn't interested i suppose? Yibo is so fucking hot im more focused on him than the plot (sorry not sorry lmfao). Personally think the female lead is way too old to be casted for the role, it seems unrealistic for her to be looking aged (actress looks perfectly fine, i just mean she definitely does not look like a teenager, which is supposed to be the age of her character). This ruined an aspect of the drama, becauuse she is surrounded by guys "her age" in the drama, but she is just visually looking more mature, and older than them. The chemistry... i don't see it, but maybe you might idk.. Chemistry is subjective so, it is probably because of the FL that leads me to think they don't have chemistry, so take this with a grain of salt. Do try it, and if you like it good!

  • My Love, Enlighten Me

    4. My Love, Enlighten Me

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 24 episodes

    8.0

    Good drama, drama got draggy and non-eventful towards the end. Tied in to the fact that the leads are already together, so there is really just nothing left to work towards i feel. Try it for yourself though! The interactions are wholesome for sure.

  • Hospital Playlist

    5. Hospital Playlist

    Korean Drama - 2020, 12 episodes

    7.5

    REALLY GOOD DRAMA. Dont mind me, its really good, but due to personal reasons, i just found it uninteresting. Maybe because i am not used to watching  medical dramas not focused on the medical? It is more focused on their personal lives, and as medical dramas go, is quite episodic, which means that they focus on a patient for a episode or two, and than move on. Well, i suppose there might be more variety here because the 4 leads are each from different fields, so the illlnesses are definitely not similar, and niche. 10000% recommend for everyone to watch it, i am sure you will enjoy it. (From statistics from friends, haha)

  • Legend of Yun Xi

    I genuienly dont remember, either the plot got stale, or my standards for plots are too high and i just got bored. Again, i stopped watching after the leads got together. Give it a try, if you want to, idk, unsure.

    OK, love the male lead. Hate the female lead. (Disclaimer: i just don't like the actress, no need to be worked up okay, ill explain. ) If anyone else watches this actress works, the variety she has is just none, absolutely every character behaves the same way. No changes in her expressions across dramas, and tbh she just doesn't have chemistry with her male leads. I love the male lead, Ren Jialun's dramas One and Only and Forever and Always are my TOP tier, GOD tier dramas, so really its not on him. His character in the show is fine too. The female lead character is really badly written in my opinion, as well as the plot. So the combination just makes me want to punch myself. She is such a SYCOPHANT, search it up if you don't know it, but it basically means she flatters the male lead (aka the boss) all the fucking time. Even before they are close, she is throwing compliments like its no big deal. Just off putting, hate this type of people IRL, and i don't wanna see it in a drama either. But, if you are okay with "cheerful" characters, that are WAY WAY WAY too positive for their own good, (like seriously, it gives me a headache) than try it at your own discretion i suppose.

  • Fighter of the  Destiny

    Can't believe i have to say this, but the guy is way too OP that there is basically no sense of risk involved at ANY point in the drama. At no point am i feeling: oh shit, he might die. Oh no, is he gonna get tricked? No. Okay, it was established that this dude is a fucking genius to decend upon the universe apparently, he read like basically every book in existence, and is able to remember them to great detail. His martial arts is also good. His brain is also good. Ok i had enough. The thing is, the plot is also so linear, it is definitely a arc to arc progression type drama, as compared to having an arc develop overtime, than having a secondary arc coming together with the first arc... etc just non-linear things. (i can't explain this concept for shit, just basically not 1, 2, 3 sequences, but instead 1....(2 together with 1), 2, (revert to 1).., 3 (together with 2).. idk anymore.. if you even understood that, props my guy. Well, idk, if you wanna look at handsome and pretty faces, watch i guess. I got nothing else, im tired.

    Okay, so this is i suppose a 2021 take on toxic characters. Characters that are not so good, not so kind, not so high EQ, etc. Not that these traits are bad, i love flawed characcters! It is just that, its the 20th fucking century, and you are STILL forcing a kiss on a girl? okay man. And than, pretending all is good after since she kissed back? eh, im just uncomfortable in this day and age. If this was aired during the hiers period, damn this is next level romantic at that time probably. But now, im passed badly written male leads, and romantic plots. Do watch if you like old school, old traditioned dramas to reminisce the times haha.

    LMFAO, my mom watches this, if i remember correctly, she said it was good (dont trust my memry though). Well, if you ignore the plot, its good. AKA just watch air. lmao, the leaps and bounds the drama does for plot progression, oh dear. And also the plot is just bad, predictive and therefore BORING. Watch at you own discretion, please.

    It was cute in the beginning, and than it got boring. The love triangle sucks in my opinion. Can't really explain this well, but the girl feels like she is leading the second lead on (without knowig), because she is a huge 'fan' of him. So that feels weird, so than why did't u like him romantically? Oh maybe because plot? lmao. The leads look good tgt, dont get me wrong, the plot was just boring so i stopped watching. My emotions watching this drama is literally the flatline of someones dead heartbeat ok, im just emotionless. I gave me absolutely n o t h i n g. ok but, like the list goes, it might suit someones elses taste, so give it a try maybe?

    u guys know i love the female lead, but for some reason i always don't finish her dramas LMFAO. Idk, maybe the fantasy part of this drama did not appeal to me? I just wasn't interested in the situation the leads are in. Maybe you might tho, they look cute. I stopped watching before they even got together, so maybe it might be good after? Eh, u find out i guess.

  • Intense Love

    A contractual marriage drama. I think i stopped watching because i don't like the male lead, his charcter is just, boring, lacking in substance and emotion. Meh. He is capable of liking the female lead and showing affection i guess?? But outside of romance i don't see any motivation in life from him if you get me, like he exist for what purpose?? idk. The plot is nonexistant, its just romance. Thats just a turn off for me, but some people like romance filled dramas so if you do try it i guess.

  • Sisyphus: The Myth

    14. Sisyphus: The Myth

    Something different, a sci-fi drama. The plot, i love the concept, not the execution, and neither the ending. "u didt finish it, how did u know whats the ending bitch?" HAHA, im kidding, idk why im so aggressive. Anyways, yep, i watched the ending explaination from Youtube videos because as this is a mystery type, sci-fi drama, i want to see what happens, and if it was good, i might even continue watching. But spoiler alert, the ending sucked ass. If you guys arent familiar with time travel, parallel universes, this might be foreign to you, but basically there are different ways drama can execute the universes when one time travels. Basically can two same person exist at once or no? Are there different ongoing universes or just one? Okay, enough with this. I just think the ending was bad as far as time travel dramas go. BUT, if you don't really care, and are unfamiliar with these type of dramas, i doubt you will find an issue with the drama. Aside from my issue with the ending, the romance i feel is lacking, the chemistry is bad, the premise of their relationship i feel is stretching. Its okay, just average. Do try it i guess, but please note this is not an excellent time travel drama ok, i don't want to ruin u guys first experience on time travel. (Maybe try other time travel dramas before this..) 

  • A Girl Like Me

    Um... One question: why was this drama somewhat popular? LMAO This drama attemtped the girl boss, independent girl concept, but.. not really done well? I feel that she is too emotional to be independent (not that u cant have both, but hear me out, it is difficult to be objective if you are constantly listening to your emotions (which can direct u in a wrong direction)) Okay anyways, i might be overcritical idk, i just think the female lead wasnt impressive. The male lead also, the plot also. So i just think, this is a failure of an independent female lead drama. But you can find out if im just being critical. eh.

    Dear fans, please don't hate me ok. This drama is SOOO cliche, i lost it halfway through. The second couple plot was much better, still cliche though.. oh my gosh. Yea, the romance and chemistry is there (they are actually dating IRL as of now..) The plot is not it for me, but its decent according to kdrama standards. The plot was so predictable that i lost joy and anticipation watching it so i gave up. I assume most people will enjoy it, mainly because its so CLEAR that its going to be a happy ending, and u folks LOVE your happy endings so..

    Oh god, yet another i might get hated on for not liking. Hear me out folks, its good (i suppose). But, it is an episodic drama, which means it focuses on different dead people/ghosts stories every episode, and im really not an episodic drama type of girl. I like a good plot that spans several episodes, or even the whole drama, not really episode by episode sub plots. So.. thats mainly the reason why i stopped watching, and also the chemistry between the leads i dont feel. Yep. Do watch it though, its good.

    Can it get more cliche than this? IDK man. The abudant gumiho dramas, the oversaturation of fantasy dramas is actually making me lose my mind. "Oh my fucking bead got into you, i cant remove it, please, stay with me for the time being will you?" Oh my god.. I should have stopped the drama then and there and i continued wasting my time. The female lead pisses me the FUCK off, ok i really cant stand the character. I cant. U guys should know that i just hate overly positive characters because its really just not my type of people i vibe with. Also, she is too cheerful, obnoxious i may add. Yeah, i just cant stand it man. The plot is so cliche, so predictable. Here is to name a few: Moving in tgt, Amnesia plot, Oh god, if i stay with him/her they might die, so break up... Yea.. im out. Try it if you want lol.

    I swear, fat --> skinny dramas... Hmmm..... IDK man, there is not a single of these dramas that i enjoyed watching. Maybe because the plot is just.. EXERCISE? like, literally maybe watch work out videos guys. LMAO Uh, and than when she gets skinny (and may i add, "pretty")... everything is just fine, like all plots just got resolved. As if she is incapable of anyting when shes "fat". Like ok, yeah ok, thats just not true. Im averaged sized, so i cant really speak for larger people, but im SURE this can be somewhat insulting for them. (or motivating?) Just not for me, but.. maybe you can try and see if what im saying is valid or not.
