I created this because I wanted to see what dramas you guys can't stand. This should be interesting, so feel free to comment. 

Remember to stay kind if you disagree with anyones opinion :)

I honestly can't bring myself to watch Legend of the blue sea.

I tried so many times but it just gets me bored and I don't like the characters xD

All versions of:

Itazura na Kiss (Playful Kiss, It Started with a Kiss....etc)

Hate/dislike strongly:

  • The Heirs
  • Hwarang
  • Playful Kiss
  • Heartstrings
  • The Bride of Habaek
  • The Legend of the Blue Sea

Think are overrated/tired of hearing about:

  • Goblin
  • Descendants of the Sun
  • W
  • Pinnochio

Dislike due to a lot of wasted potential with the cast/writing:

  • The K2
  • Criminal Minds

So many tbh

Dramas I can't stand at all:

  • Bel Ami
  • My Lovely Girl 
  • Full House Take 2 
  • The Heirs
  • My Princess
  • Heartstrings
  • Mary Stayed Out All Night
  • To The Beautiful You 

Dramas I think are really overrated

  • Strong Woman Do Bong Soon
  • Descendants of the Sun
  • W
  • While You Were Sleeping
  • Goblin
  • The K2

Descendants of the Sun. I thought it was more funny than serious. It's super cheesy. Smallville level cheese. 

I think it also fits in with my theme that anything with a hospital in it is overrated. Sometimes it's the 'hero doctor' syndrome, sometimes it's the 'traditional medicine works when real medicine doesn't', sometimes it's the insane amount of romance that takes place (I'm not saying people don't hook-up or fall for each other but way too idealistic in a stressful, tiring job for doctors & nurses). This isn't even really a criticism of Asian medical dramas... I have a lot of problems with Western medical dramas too.

I gave K2 a few episodes and got bored and gave it up... mentioning it because I see the poster above me mention.

Hmm.....  for me drama like Last Cinderella, From 5 to 9.... or Introduction of the princess, XDD

I've come to a point where anytime I see Shin Se Kyung in a drama it pisses me off!! lol, I just can't stand her. No hate toward her real life personality but her drama selections and character roles with bad acting are unpleasant. 

Honestly I don't have a drama that I can't stand, but the ones I enlist below are what I find overrated:

Healer - Everybody seems to love this but I just can't. I tried to like, I really did. But then when I was in my fourth time watching and disliking it again I thought to myself "nah, I don't like it and that's it."

Love O2O - This one is chinese and while I admit it's cute and kinda addicting it becomes boring pretty quickly, besides both leads are Mary Sues. I still wonder why it has such a high rating...

W - The beginning was good but then it became a mess, and not a funny one. Also, I don't know why but I couldn't stand the male lead. 

Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo - I must admit I'll try to watch it again, but the first time I did I couldn't get past the second episode. It's slow in a boring way and it tries too hard to be funny

Secret Garden -  Geez, this one. It was a guilty pleasure but still guilty. I couldn't stand the male lead's attitude towards the female, but I must be a masochist because I kept coming back. However, it's still pretty overrated.

To the Beautiful You, Heartstrings, Cinderella and the Four Knights, She Was Pretty, and You're Beautiful were shows that I barely managed to finish. Either all the characters were hard to support and feel any kind of emotion for besides hate or strong dislike, and or the plot was just terrible and overly cheesy that it got even more stupid then what it was in the first place.

Flower Boy Next Door, Heirs, and Boys Over Flowers were shows where I hated the main pairings but stuck around for the side pairings and supporting characters. I also found all three to be extremely cheesy, painfully stupid, and just awfully hard to sit through (I skipped a lot) but side pairings always get me.

Descendant's of the Sun, Ho Goo's Love, and Introverted Boss were shows I pretty much hated after three to four episodes and as such dropped. DOTS was just plain overrated, and was trying to hard to be a serious medical/romance drama but didn't quite reach it in my opinion. Ho Goo's Love and Introverted Boss both had leads that were just so downright rude, and mean that I couldn't continue. I get having flawed characters but jeez, give them some sort of redeeming quality.

 Knavery:

Descendants of the Sun. I thought it was more funny than serious. It's super cheesy. Smallville level cheese.

what about romantic doctor teacher kim? One of the best dramas ever made.


I was just going to name Secret Garden. My brother love it a lot and he highly recommended this drama, and so I watched a few episodes, and if I recall correctly, I didn't finish it. It was, in my opinion, too boring for me to continue. The storyline was pretty cool, swapping souls and stuffs, but that whole drama didn't handle it well I guess, or maybe it's just me.

And, after looking through some of the replies in this discussion, I realize I do have one more in my mind; Descendants of the Sun. People hyped up this drama and Song Joong Ki, so I decided to check it out, and it was pretty plain, nothing worth mentioning. Overrated at its best. 

I would have to say that Descendants of the Sun, was really boring to me. Saw like 6 episodes, but it just didn't do it for me.

I strongly dislike:

Bride of haebak( basically any shin see kyung drama)

Hwarang

Mary stayed out all night

Introverted boss

Dramas I think are overrated:

Secret

Kill me heal me

City Hunter

Goblin

Introverted boss 

Any gong hyo Jin drama

The k2

Bride of the century

Moon embracing the sun

She was pretty

When I first started watching dramas, there were a few that everyone kept recommending to me: What Happened in Bali, Sorry, I Love You, Crying Out Love in the Center of the World, and Nowata Produce, and God Give Me More Time

I've avoided them pretty much from jump. I looked them all up and I'm not into tragedies and I think Yamapi is overrated. Some more recommend that I think are extremely overrated - Secret Garden, Star Biscuit Teacher (lol, I'm sure I mucked the name up), and Successful Story of a Bright Girl (I think that's it). I've tried to watch all three and can't get into them.
