ok as u wish, @reply1988@bomibeans@minniegupta1@leetennant thread for Dramas beanies enjoyed but we didnt bonfire. I have lentil chips & rose lemonade. Mine: Our beloved summer, Moving, Vincenzo
_ One drama I didn’t like at all: Perfect Marriage Revenge.
_ Some dramas I can’t say I hate but I didn’t like so much: Strong Woman Do Bong Soon, One Spring Night, Another Miss Oh, Angel Last Mission, Run On, Mad for each other.
_ Some dramas I liked, but probably less than the rest of the world (outside DB too): Our beloved summer, Unlock my boss, Vincenzo, Call it love, Crash Landing on You (because of the ending), Alchemy of Souls, When the Camellia blooms, It’s ok, that’s love.
Thank you Run on was only worth the watch because of the second couple romance for me, I liked the second female lead being a strong woman who acted her mind.
One Spring night him turning up at her work place and she was still in a relationship meant an instant drop so sorry not able to complete.
Strong woman the mix of rom com and horrific kidnapping/murder case made no sense so although completed it was not enjoyable at all. I loved the rom com element.
I have often wondered – if one were to take out Park Hyung Sik from Strong Woman Do Bong Soon, would anyone ever watch it? I always think it’s his show and it should be edited to 8 or 10 episodes to make it a stellar watch.
That type of cutesy romance with oversized male leads is what bores me to death. So for me PHS (or more correctly, casting him) was part of the problem. But I understand your point of view.
Hometown Cha Cha Cha is the leader in this category for me. I kept waiting and waiting and waiting for it to become something I liked, and at the end I realized I’d hate-watched the whole thing.
Oh gosh, I walked in the first episode and kept thinking I had judged it harshly because everyone else was singing its praises. I felt like I should try again but I just haven’t got round to it yet.
All of these are shows I finished, even rewatched some to make sure.
Some of the shows I HATED:
Biscuit Teacher & Star Candy
Mischievous Kiss
I Remember You
Heart to Heart
Fight My Way
One Spring Night
etc.
Some shows I found extremely boring:
Alone in Love
Weightlifting Fairy
While You Were Sleeping
Mystic Popup Bar
Strong Woman Do Bong Soon
Call it Love
Heartbeat (I sneaked this one in. Dropped at ep 11)
etc.
Some shows I disliked:
You From another Star
School 2013
Queen InHyun’s Man
It’s Ok It’s Love
Signal
I’m Not a Robot
Chicago Typewriter
My Mister
When thd Camellia Blooms
Touch Your Heart
Crash Landing On You
Beyond Evil
Just Between Lovers
The Kidnapping Day
When the Weather is Fine
etc.
I’m leaving the shows that I just liked less than others completely out, because at this rate I might get locked out of DB.
You will never be locked out because there will be beanies to join you in each of your categories. Also the list of shows you did like and love will have a strong fan club too so you are safe. I love how long your list is, I know I have missed some off mine. As i type this I have suddenly remembered the show that had me raging at the screen.
👇🏾
SOMETHING IN THE RAIN. This show upset me because it started so well then went down hill in such a steep decline that it needs the meme from Prison Playbook when he described his quality of life in prison compared to his previous life, to provide the perfect visual representation.
Ok, I’m going to whisper it here, because this is a safe thread… I think I’m the only Beanie who strongly disliked Because this Is My First Life (*runs and hides).
Ok yay! 😅 I was really bothered, all the way through, that the relationship between the ML and FL was always transactional, and never developed further toward unconditional love. To me, it seemed like the main reason they chose to stay together was convenience, so those two elements really bothered me.
I put that drama in the overrated/overhyped category but I think I need to run and hide in another country as I don’t relate to the actor playing the male lead in the show at all.
While I am planning my exile I might as well say I also don’t relate to one of the other popular actors on here Sohn Seokgu so whenever he plays a lead I don’t connect at all. I think it’s from his role as the adulterous partner in Matrimonial Chaos. I have issues with those kinds of roles so often have a hard time moving on when I see an actor in that type of role. I just about tolerated him in Be Melodramatic because of the role he played in the life of a female character I liked a lot.
Don’t run, stay here with us! 🤗 I agree with you about overhyped actors… I definitely don’t like either of them to the extent that most Beanies seem to 😂 And I agree – it’s hard for me to shake the image of a role I really disliked when seeing an actor in something else.
It’s so funny I literally talk to myself to remember they were only acting😆. Poor Yoon Park took three dramas to be cleansed before I could look at him without raging as his role in Forecasting love and weather really upset me.
I might as well say I also don’t relate to one of the other popular actors
We all have a list like that and we can have a thread for this, but some beanie or anonymous commenter might take offense and start defending which might turn ugly.
Sohn Seokgu, Na-In-Woo and Ahn Bo Hyun: despite their popularity, I have a very hard time looking at them as main leads. I think it’s taking away from my pleasure of watching Marry My Husband and has kept me away from some well known Bo Hyun projects (I gave Flex Cop a try and I do have it in my mind to watch it but feel no compulsion as him and I don’t agree lol!)
Disclaimer: personal views, please let me take them off my chest and still allow me to keep my organs intact
I won’t say it was overrated here, but everywhere else it was (Baeksang “Arts” Awards included.. I still don’t get how it added to the “arts”). Let’s say it had a very niche audience here. And it will be defended as it was once when I used a one word qualifier to describe it. Yeah, I know, my bad. I won’t repeat that mistake again *whispers* misogynist. What? I didn’t say that 🤔. You heard it wrong 🙉. I was only saying that it was a critically acclaimed series appreciated globally for objectifying, slut shaming and reducing women to caricatures. What? You are hearing things again, obviously 🙉.
Oh I forgot to name the acclaimed series.. It was called The… something… Oh, I can’t recall the word.. only it started with a “G” and ended with a “Y” 🤔.
@Anne18, I honestly cannot tell what show you’re talking about. It must be one I haven’t seen. What is the real title? I promise to leave all your organs intact! 😸
I never get attached enough to any show to have hard feelings toward the people who didn’t like it. We all have different tastes! There is at least one beanie – I won’t name names – who has hated every show I’ve ever liked, and seems to like only shows I wouldn’t watch if you paid me, but I still enjoy seeing their comments and considering what they have to say about dramas.
Crash Landing tops my list.
King The Land
Strong Woman Nam whatever (even the cameo couldn’t save it)
Encounter (this one almost made me never watch another K-drama again. It took me four years to understand it was the wrong drama to start K-drama journey.)
Moving (I will never understand what other beanies saw that I didn’t 🙁 and I love HYJ)
Others: I don’t hate but if given a choice I would have stayed away:
Because this is my first life (after a point it got so preachy that it felt like I was listening to sermons)
Run On (I survived it only because of the second leads)
Vincenzo
Perfect Marriage Revenge
Those that failed four episodes test:
Alchemy of Souls
Miseang
Goblin
Forecasting love and weather
Forbidden Marriage
I must say, I dropped some dramas too fast to even form an opinion I guess if they drag and there is no energy and especiallu if I forget the name of the drama in less than a week.
like, I have forgotten the name of the refrigerator corpse drama. …what was it… romantic murder something? but I did manage to learn the korean word for refrigerator.
and that curse drama with voodoo..
I should also make an Alternative description drama titles” thread
I don’t even count shows I have dropped too early in my list.
Some of the shows I have listed here I have even rewatched a few times! Am I a masochist?? Not really, it is just that there was a time I had a too limited access to new dramas.
I don’t rewatch shows I hate anymore, unless it is to fast-forward through the leads’ scenes to only watch Bae In Hyuk’s scenes…
Oh, this is fun! These are not ones that I actively disliked, but all of them are ones that I’m happy to leave behind and don’t really feel the need to revisit ever. With the possible exception of a couple of scenes from EAW.
Dramas I thought were just okay while other folks loved them:
Because This is Our First Life
Oh Hae-young Again
Extraordinary Attorney Woo
Tracer
Love to Hate You
The Glory
Doctor Cha
Coffee Prince
Don’t dislike, but don’t get the hype:
Coffee Prince
Rookie Historian
I Hear Your Voice
My Love From Another Star
Forest of Secrets
The Red Sleeve
Be Melodramatic
Dropped early:
One Spring Night
King The Land
Had a bad feeling and never started:
Vincenzo
Extraordinary Attorney Woo

Run On: exactly as you, I finished it because of the second couple.
One Spring Night: tiresome OST and too many dislikeable characters (FL, FL’s parents, FL’s in-laws…).
Strong Woman Do Bong Soon: I’m afraid the humor in that drama wasn’t for me. I skipped several “comic” scenes. I stayed only for Park Hyung Sik.
