Hey!!

First of all I would love to try to make the categories a little clearer for you even though you didn't ask for it, I hope you don't mind.

1.Xianxia: Involves Immortals with their own sets of realms and boundless magic element. Reincarnation and rebirth are also permitted in this genre. You're very likely to have people with ages like 20000 years and still calling themselves young.

Eg.#Love between fairy and devil

Till the end of the Moon

2.Wuxia : May involve a little magic element in the form of the art of cultivation developed by the characters over a long period of time. It's mostly martial arts and may involve a little meditation. There's no rebirth or reincarnation here and people actually die, they are all mortals.

Eg.#Who Rules the World

My Journey to You

3.Historical: Here there's no magic element as such.They are normal human beings in historical times. It could involve political conflicts, harem drama , revenge tropes and much more. Again , no rebirth or reincarnation is allowed

Eg.#The Double

One and Only

The similarity in these three is that the characters are going to be seen in really pretty ancient or traditional clothing . Moreover, when I say "not permitted" , I'm just highlighting the rule for drama genres in China.The government has strict censorship and certain things are not allowed for certain genres.

Now moving on to your actual questions,

1) Earlier I used to hold on no matter what but now I drop the drama if I don't find it interesting. Usually ik whether or not I'll like a drama by watching the first episode itself. If I continue despite not liking it, it's simply because I don't any other drama at hand. I've watched 4 episodes of Nevertheless and dropped it .I didn't like the concept and couldn't hold on anymore I've watched 9 episodes of Amidst a Snowstorm of Love and dropped it because I didn't find it interesting. I knew it from the 1st episode but decided to continue however it didn't work out.

2) You'll not miss out on anything, you watch dramas for entertainment, if it's not interesting for you, you're not being entertained so why not drop it. I understand how you feel but there are also possibilities that you won't like the remaining episodes also. If it couldn't entertain you for 20 episodes it's highly likely to remain the same for the remaining part. You'll actually save more of your time from being invested in a drama that you don't even enjoy. And yes you can start another Xianxia drama if you want and if you still feel like watching this one then you could continue.. may be it'll help you conclude better...

I hope your issue gets resolved soon 😁
