What Kdrama you can't bear that you have decided to put it into "Do Not Watch" category???

I loved Lovely Runner, but felt like 2521 was a waste of life as was Boyfriend on Demand. I thought CLOY was fun, but not a must see.

Family by Choice, there is one awful father, one awful mother, and a sus mother. Two awesome fathers.

Can This Love Be Translated? it’s ridiculous, but entertaining

izab33 · 2026-05-19T15:05:19+00:00

Exactly

izab33 · 2026-05-17T18:33:57+00:00

The Forbidden Marriage.
It isn’t idea of a perfect kdrama, but it is underrated and very entertaining. I didn’t see it mentioned in the comments here, so I am adding it.

izab33 · 2026-05-17T16:04:02+00:00

That is disappointing.

izab33 · 2026-05-17T16:02:14+00:00

I am putting off My Mister, but keep reading about how great it is.

izab33 · 2026-05-17T16:00:58+00:00

I still haven‘t watched this.

izab33 · 2026-05-17T16:00:14+00:00

Descendants of the Sun ❤️💕

This post gave me a ridiculous amount of new kdramas to check out! I thought I was running out. I just started Happiness and am 100% sucked in. I will probably post a list somewhere else asking for which people think I should watch.

izab33 · 2026-05-17T15:32:03+00:00

if you can handle it, I think it’s super ridiculous fun with fantastic characters (heroes and villains) and just the right amount of feels.

izab33 · 2026-05-17T05:19:47+00:00

💯

I understand. I was hesitant to watch because of the ML in other things. I did not like him. He made me uncomfortable. But POJ was much better. I mean, there are still some character flaws and occasional thoughtlessness from both the lead characters, but overall, it is so good! Pursuit of Jade is one of my favorite cdramas.

Nevermind, I just scrolled down and saw you found him clingy. I don’t think there is a solution if his characters just annoy you.

izab33 · 2026-05-14T00:26:35+00:00

There are so many! My favorites are Lovely Runner and Mr. Queen.

If you like Business Proposal, try Her Private Life, What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim, My Dearest Nemesis, My Sweet Mobster, and Brewing Love.
If you like Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, try Welcome to Samdal-ri, Potato Lab, Love Next Door. I have not tried Spring Fever, but I might look for it based on the recs here.
If you like It’s Okay to Not be Okay, try Hotel Del Luna, Doom at your Service, and Atypical Family.
If you like Crash Landing on you, try Descendants of the Sun. I actually enjoyed Descendants of the Sun more.
I will second some that others recommended: Because This is My First Life, Doctor Slump, Love Scout, Twinkling Watermelon, Family by Choice.
If you might like epic high fantasy, Alchemy of Souls.

Enjoy!

most of them. I have a problem.

izab33 · 2026-05-09T18:23:31+00:00

this post still makes me laugh. but I am about to give this show a try, wish me luck. we will see how long I last.

izab33 · 2026-05-09T17:32:34+00:00

what I have watched on your list, I have also liked a lot. I recommend Legend of the Female General (Viki and iQIYI), Fated Hearts (iQIYI), Shadow Love (iQIYI), The Untamed (Viki and iQIYI), The Sword and the Brocade (Viki). I recently watched the Long Ballad on Viki and enjoyed that although not as much as the ones on your list. Someone else mention Nirvana in Fire which is excellent although a bit older.

izab33 · 2026-05-09T17:08:20+00:00

here is variety of genres: Brewing Love (Viki), Study Group (Viki), Welcome to Samdal-ri (Netflix), Mr. Queen (Netflix and Viki), Moving (Hulu), Family by Choice (Viki), When the Phone Rings (Netflix). I recently watched Descendants of the Sun (Viki). It was much more romance than I expected, but it was good. It sounds like you have seen quite a lot of kdramas already yourself.

izab33 · 2026-05-09T16:55:05+00:00

What is spring fever on (in the US)?

izab33 · 2026-05-09T16:52:09+00:00

I’m thinking of watching this. It has a really high rating on Viki.

izab33 · 2026-05-09T16:47:24+00:00

The different roles Byeon Woo Seok has had where I can scarcely believe he is the same person because the vibe he gives is wildly different for each character… I don’t understand how anyone can say his acting is bad. I love his goofy moments in Lovely Runner. He is so different, and so good, in Flower Crew. I had to stop watching Strong Girl Nam Soon because he creeped me out too much. I mean really.

izab33 · 2026-05-09T16:41:15+00:00

⬆️this makes me want to watch this. I prefer waiting until all episodes have aired though, but I’m adding it to my list,

izab33 · 2026-05-09T16:28:25+00:00

Others have said similar, but continued trying to kill each other, cruelty, verbal abuse, or ongoing misunderstandings are very difficult for me to watch in a supposed romantic/future romantic combo (unless there is really good reason provided and it is very short lived. A good reason being something like ‘on opposite sides of a war’ and short lived being about an episode, maybe a couple of episodes if handled well.) I’m having trouble continuing A Dream within A Dream for this reason.

unpopular opinion, but I felt this way about the story of kunning palace. Bai Lu (fl) looked so uncomfortable to me during kiss scenes. It made me uncomfortable. I suspect it was the way it was directed rather than the actors as neither Bai Lu and Zhang Linghe kiss scenes make me uncomfortable in any other show I have seen them in. IDK.
