Dramas you thought you would hate but ended up loving?

Queen In Hyun's Man!! I'm not a fan of historical dramas at all but I gave it a shot when I was bored out of my mind and it's ended up being one of my all time fave dramas -_-

Bad Guys -  I wasn't expecting much but it was a really good police drama. I could predict some things but as they made sense, I didn't mind. Surprisingly enough, the lack of romance didn't bother me either. I read OCN has a lot of seasons 2 so I hope it will be the case for this one as well.

Dream High - I started watching it out of boredom but discovered what a great actor Kim Soo Hyun is after seing him in this drama. I had previously watched You Who Came from the Stars. I though he was ok but his character didn't show many emotions unlike in Dream High so I couldn't tell.

I Hear Your Voice - I didn't want to watch it because it was about lawyers. Usually, I find lawyers dramas quite boring but this one fells more like a police drama. It ended up being one of my all-time favourites. I mean it's a fantasy, noona romantic comedy, police drama ! The perfect mix.

Kill Me, Heal Me -  First, I didn't want to watch a drama where one of the main character had a disease. I though it would be sad throughout the drama. Then, for some unknown reason, I still started watching "Jekyll, Hyde and Me" (also about DID). I was rooting for it and din't want to give KMHM a try yet. Later, when I started KMHM, I wasn't that much into it at first. I though the actors exagerated their play quite often. But as the story unfolded, I rased my rating significantly from a 7 to a 10. Once you get used to their characters and focus on the story, it truly is interesting. And just like I Hear Your Voice, this one is now one of my all-time favourites.

Romance (2002) - I didn't even rated it that high but I just kept watching it again and again. I made a review about this one. I rated it 7 but could have rated it 9 if the plot was written diffferently. Maybe that's why. It's a male student / female teacher relashionship drama, focused on the taboo side of the story... at first at least.

Coffee Prince - I hated it the first time I watched it, by I watched it a second time, and it became one of my favorite dramas

'Soredemo ikite yuku', 'Secret love affair' and 'Padam padam'. Tried to watch them other years, tried 2-3 times, but dropped every time. Recently tried again and loved, especially SIY and SLA.

Also It's Okay That's Love, Bad Guys

Master's Sun and Secret Garden I just thought that the female lead is not attractive. But after I tried to watch the first episode i become addictive with both dramas. They're just soooo good. And now the female lead is vert attractive to me lol

You From Another Star - I wouldn't say I loved it, but at the end of it I didn't think I had wasted my time as much as I expected to. It wasn't a perfect drama, but a pleasant enough watch. 

I remember when my friend NinaJade82 convinced me to watch Golden Empire back in 2013. I was sceptical because the plot didn't sound very engaging to me and I like having some romance in any drama I watch. This is not mandatory, but it's definitely preferred. Golden Empire had a love line that was hinted at, but not developed, even slightly. I knew this going in and that made my expectations even lower. Finally, I only agreed to watch it because Go Soo was in it and well, I LOVE him. I'm not sure I expected to hate it, but I was sure this wasn't going to be a drama for me. I ended up loving it. It is the best K-drama I've seen to date (and I've been watching dramas since 2012).

I was also sure I was going to hate It Started with a Kiss & They Kiss Again because everyone said the female lead was weak, stupid and too much of a doormat. I watched the dramas and ended up loving them! They were cute and lighthearted and I did not perceive the female lead in the way everyone else did. I thought she had her strengths and her weaknesses just like everyone else. In fact, I liked the story so much that I went ahead and watched the J-version too. I liked it a lot less than the T-version. I haven't watched the K-version because I hate the guy who plays the male lead. Knowing he's an abusive jerk in real life would make me feel uncomfortable watching him in a role like this.
