Any other version of Meteor Garden because it was my first ever 'idol drama' and has a special place in my heart, and honestly I don't get the point of watching all the remakes of a drama because it's almost like watching the same drama multiple times. I tried with the Japanese version and it just felt like it was copying the plot and I didn't like the lead actress too much ... because well... it's a remake lol... Yeah I can't watch remakes unless the remake happens to be the first version I watch. Boys Over Flowers, I couldn't even bother after the first 10 minutes because of the lead actress. Funnily enough, these days I don't get around to watching most TW dramas because they're always idol dramas and I don't really like a lot of the storylines nor TW actors like Jiro, Rainie, Ariel, all those Brown Sugar Machiato people, (anddd more...) so I end up just stalking the few TW actors I do like, or watching the ones with actors I don't mind so much.
And another turn off is when there is an idol as the lead (mostly) especially the ones who are known for bad acting like Suzy, Taecyeon, Yunho etc, like Dream High ... I just can't get myself to watch that even though I've heard great reviews... Also, I've avoided most SM dramas because I can never get into their idols' acting - mainly because regardless of their character I always feel like they can't be 100% into that character because they always have their images to uphold so I can never buy their character and feel disconnected with them - and I always feel cheated of their kiss scenes because their too stiff and lame.
Also, basically all weekend dramas because they're way too long and draggy. Sorry, the only long series I can watch are Hong Kong ones, because they're sitcoms and not just makjang-fueled drama that cause me to pull my hair out of frustration.
Oh and sageuks... Just because I'm used to watching ancient dramas from the Chinese costumes and I'm used to the genre and its setup better (Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong) so it feels really out of place watching sageuks for me because I'm not too keen of the costumes or historical era.
Andddd, I don't mind noona romances, just not when the noona is also a teacher .. or any student-teacher relationship ones. It's just an ethical thing I think... like I can see why it's swoon-worthy in dramas because well, they're dramas (aided by the fact that the actors aren't kids) but I don't personally see the appeal of it.
Sooo yep, I've definitely gotten pickier over the years, and hence my drama pickings have slimmed dramatically from the days when I'd just watch whatever my mum brought home. Having the autonomy to choose my dramas has made me a lot more fickle lol.... which has totally made my Plan to Watch list a huge, fat mess.
