I’ve had that happen with a few dramas. The most fantastic example is with Healer. Everybody said it was great, so I give it a try in 2017. Intellectually, I *got* what everybody liked about it, but I found it so uninteresting.
I tried watching it 3 times, and only made it through the first ep the first two times. The third time was the charm, and I’ve marathoned it many times since then.
Same with Itaewon Class. It’s awesome in terms of representation of minorities like the transgender community and racial minorities, but I just couldn’t keep going past about 6 or something. Or maybe it was 8. Crash Landing was good in the beginning and then it dragged coming to the end. But I managed to finish it. There was enough catnip to get me through.

You know when a drama is pretty good, but you just lose interest? Kinda weird and frustrating really.

I got to, like, episode 10 or 11. I just found it boring. It never stuck with me.

I tried twice or so to get into Healer and I just couldn’t.

That’s been my case for the past year. In a slump, I guess.
MeloMance – couldn’t finish last 2 ep.
Itaewon Class – still on ep 8
Crash Landing on You — still on ep 2
I’m hoping Hospital Playlist would not be the case. I like it so far.

I should check out Hospital Playlist.

It happened to me in Sky Castle. Dropped in episode 14, and I don’t want to know anything about it.

It’s pretty tough when we get pretty far and either don’t want to or can’t get the will to finish.
