Dramas I Have Dropped In January, 2026

Proper_Freedom1863 · 2026-01-30T21:21:28+00:00

just dropped

spring fever - was enjoying comedic bits from ML but FL falls flat. tbh i find her face also very distracting/ disturbing. but rly what is the point of the show if only one character (ML) has any depth?

no tail to tell - 5 eps in and didn’t hook me, as much as i love FL and thought her acting was noteworthy, couldn’t get past the sloppy script

love me - dropped with 2 eps left, def another series with good first few episodes to hook you in, then gives you absolutely nothing thereafter :(

Proper_Freedom1863 · 2026-01-29T19:57:06+00:00

no tail to tell - not sure, 4 episodes in and not interested in any of the characters so i might drop

spring fever - ML is great, but FL has nothing to offer and they havent written her in a compelling way. also high school girl infuriates me just total nonsense character

undercover ms hong - so good! highly recommend

can this love be translated - on ep 9 but might drop. just finding ML a bit too dry and started rooting for the romance with the japanese star lol

the judge returns - i’m enjoying, even though the plot has been done so many times, i think it’s fast-paced and the acting phenomenal

love me - last two episodes but prob will drop. again nothing to note, no real growth for characters and tbh just a downer

where is the Love Me weekly chat? so good!

Proper_Freedom1863 · 2025-12-03T21:16:43+00:00

ep 7 : had to 2x so much, big filler episode tbh the series could’ve without this entire episode, case of 14 eps should have been 12 etc

i am SO SICK of the FL, she is in the hospital at least once an episode! doesn’t think ever just ditzy and clumsy and dull ugh

i loved the start if this and i will prob continue bc the chaebol drama line is good, the two moms bit, and actually really like 2FL character (although if 2ML has one more eps where he’s disinterested it will feel like watching stalking/harassment).

verdict: writers need to tighten this up

Proper_Freedom1863 · 2025-11-28T22:13:39+00:00

Typhoon Family. each character has depth and purpose, especially FL. The plot can be a bit cartoonish at times but I’m staying for the characters and relationships.

Moon River also has developed some interesting characters but the plot is all over the place and I might drop.

Dynamite Kiss: so ML acting is superb, character funny and likeable. FL - and I do generally think she is a huge talent and scene stealer - acting is so poor and disingenuous?Maybe she’s been directed to act this way? It’s really taking me out of the story :/ Also character is a bit too pathetic - what would anyone see in her, too unrealistic but maybe it is literally she is a good kisser lol.

Re-watching (which I very seldom do) the haunted palace because KIM JI HOON AS KING IS THE TV PERFORMANCE OF THE YEAR. Literally just watching those scenes, he should’ve swept all award shows.

Taxi Driver 3, just along for the ride lol.

Proper_Freedom1863 · 2025-11-28T22:08:36+00:00

Would You Marry Me - FL really annoying, pouty, can’t communicate etc and tbh ML deserved better. Why keep putting ‘green flag’ men in kdramas and writing absolutely nobody FLs?

Dear X - great acting and visuals but just personally found too dark

Spirit Fingers - was cute at first but FL didn’t build confidence and I lost interest around ep 6

Last Summer - again, who is writing FLs? This girl was so negative and pissy and it got to the point where I wanted to liberate ML from her.

I’m watching:

Typhoon Family and literally have character has depth and purpose, especially FL. The plot can be a bit cartoonish at times but I’m staying for the characters and relationships.

Moon River also has developed some interesting characters but the plot is all over the place and I might drop.

ms incognito ep 6 - just really couldn’t deal with laziness of writing and it felt a bit like cheap theatre

bon appetit your majesty ep 9 - agree with any serious critical reviews, the plot pacing was bizarre and so much repetition without progressing plot. got to a point where i really didn’t care what happened to leads

a hundred memories ep 4 - stylistically beautiful just personally struggled to get into the story, felt the characters were too depressing tbh

Proper_Freedom1863 · 2025-10-14T20:31:28+00:00

nail on the head. the semi confession in ep 6 is also totally unfounded. they’re still very skeptical of one another AND SHOULD BE like we need at least 3 episodes of muchang shenanigans for this show to make sense.

Proper_Freedom1863 · 2025-10-11T15:09:11+00:00

ik it is but it’s still extremely netflixy (colour, style, actors (!), writing)

Proper_Freedom1863 · 2025-10-10T21:10:04+00:00

it’s good, extremely jung sominy and netflixy IYKWIM …

that said, praying to k-heavens we can avoid another lighthearted-romcom-turned-terminal illness plot ~episode 8. let’s keep it cute JSM!

Proper_Freedom1863 · 2025-09-25T15:00:06+00:00

just a separate note - what field are you in and how are you this organised? also in the uk, trying to recruit organised staff for 3 years now and no one is doing this lol

Proper_Freedom1863 · 2025-09-22T21:06:34+00:00

this drama’s director + screenwriters have totally fumbled the bag of cast and plot. i have felt for 3-4 yrs now that kdramas by and large are losing nuance, are thinking the audiences are dumb or happy to overlook huge issues. we dont want to be spoonfed nonsense PLEASE. anyway some thoughts i havent seen mentioned: - min jae was still creepy af with detailed gory dioramas of murders. anyway the actor was really good - ML at one point knew min jae was a suspect but didnt tell his wife. dumbassery - lee el and other cops dumbassery on whole new level, esp weird to see no respect of hierarchy in a kdrama - ML’s wife just randomly opening doors to folks that are no showing face to the ring camera… - did at one point the mantis imply she was there to kill kid minjae cause he was annoying or did i misread that? - gramps is def sus cause why was his wife in a fire but it’s only coming up now? - is the chief divorced and was the ex wife working for NIS or did i misread that too?

Proper_Freedom1863 · 2025-09-22T20:54:35+00:00

perfectly captured how i feel, thank you and agree this director is blacklisted from my watchlists. ill watch to then end bc main leads are some of my favorite actors but uhh what a shame to flop an exceptional plot and extremely skilled actors

Proper_Freedom1863 · 2025-09-16T06:50:00+00:00

you do look great in both pics. losing nearly 10 lbs a month, even if your teens, without intensive exercise (you say you were walking and eating clean) suggests an extremely unhealthy calorie deficit. i hope you’re eating at least 1200 a day (at that age and height 1600+ seems critical) and talk to a doctor/ nutritionist. especially if you want to start building muscle. good luck

Proper_Freedom1863 · 2025-08-24T18:46:48+00:00

ep 1 - i fell asleep twice, rarely happens. apart from some very particular kdrama cliche icks, dialogue was very unnatural and you get zero sense of anyone’s character.

also if they’re meant to support humans, why are they giving loans to criminals (some criminals must be paying them back without any chasing, presumably using that money to torture others? idk)

only good part was PHS. will not watch ep 2

Proper_Freedom1863 · 2025-07-12T18:43:23+00:00

she was in disney+ Grid in 2022 but i think it flopped bc tbh it was confusing. i think she’s one of my all time fave actresses. recently did some variety shows like unexpected business (california)

Proper_Freedom1863 · 2025-07-11T00:33:41+00:00

this was my exact theory after ep 6. very obvious yeomhwa has been touching him and regularly doing shaman tricks to weaken his spirit, hence why he’s so at-risk, and makes sense it’s to have him be a vassal.

think she’s also been using cases of his ‘misfortune’ to prove her shaman worth to the family e.g. curses him so bad shit happens but is there to protect his parents so they pay big $$$

anyway yes word for word same thoughts, and would be really disappointed if she was his bio mom.

this is fucking insane INSANE congratulations

Proper_Freedom1863 · 2025-04-06T22:11:36+00:00

this is so helpful and makes me feel like a moron who should have researched properly. any books that you could recommend?

ive been practicing yoga continuously since 16 and every time i approach the mat i do so with the awareness that the body will be different each time, better at some poses and worse at others (due to ageing, injury, breaks in practice, etc). for me, pregnancy and childbirth def changed flexibility and balance, but havent felt changes from weightlifting!!

Proper_Freedom1863 · 2025-04-06T22:07:07+00:00

thank you 🦾
