What happened to Korean Dramas?

Being  an a big fan and avid lover of Korean Dramas I feel off late am really  not able to watch them any more- Is something seriously wrong with me???  I wonder or I have had too much of them or the writing and direction is  getting so monotonous.

Somehow the following is a list of dramas that I dropped despite it getting great reviews - i just could not continue.

Or is it just me and Im overexposed to the point of exhaustion -( i must admit offlate i find that a lot of Chinese dramas are better) 

Does anyone else feel that way?

What is it about the drama that made you drop it? I love Pin Anong, it's one my favorite of the Weir/Min pairing :) . Cheese in the trap started out great and then around ep 10 (i think) total WTF.... I haven't watched a couple you listed but the ones I have I liked (a few I've started but yet to finish)

pin anong i think started to go downhill after ep 14 or so- i like it when the leads have trust and the girl is strong and stands up for herself - so when i saw that the lead girl and her mother got so annoying and supportive of the manipulative owner that they dont know the difference between right and wrong and so weak- ifelt i had to drop it. When the mother tries to murder her soninlaw by mixing poison in the food and not letting go of the slave mentality - i find it annoying.

I feel one must be grateful but at the same time know the difference between right and wrong and the girl even after marrying and accepting her husband goes back and forth between her other lovers/ or suitors and faking pregnancy to protect someone doing wrong- i felt was bad writing.

I like to watch when the leads are strong or atleast persisting towards their goal - not vacillating

sorry got carried away i guess should not be so critical but -just my 2penny thought

Even I dropped descendants of sun and bride of habaek

@moonbean...I completely agree...I haven't really liked a kdrama in long time....even the popular ones...I just don't enjoy them anymore...I have gone back to American shows and come on MDL occasionally to see if there is any interesting drama...

True to your name @TOOMUCHDRAMA i think the older ones before 2017 were far better- KD seems to have lost its steam i really liked the older ones between 2006-2016

I kinda felt this too, I thought it was just a slump. But I now have quite a big list of dramas on my currently watching, and I can't bring myself to complete some of them. But I'm not the type of person who likes dropping dramas halfway. 

The first few episodes of some of the dramas entertain me for a while and then I lose interest in finding out what happens next, or I can guess the ending and am just not interested in watching it. 

Then I feel bad rating a drama if I did have a huge break in the middle of it, because I'm not sure whether I have to take that pause into consideration.

I don't know. I'm just kinda confused.

The Bride of Habaek- what a freakin crap show that was lol One of the first dramas I watched and after expanding my drama repertoire I've come to realize it was just shitty. 

Save Me- I think with this one you have to have like... certain taste for it. I personally LOVED it and it's become a fav of mine (wouldn't watch it again tho since it's so dark and frustrating). I say give it another chance if you can.

Money Flower- Another one that you have to have... I want to say adult/ more mature taste for :-/ Its slow pacing, not much action, and has a wee bit of romance BUT I thought it was amazing (not counting the last 30 minutes of the last episode that pretty much ruined it for me) and a must watch for those who particularly like a revenge plot.

The Love Knot/ Moonshine and Valentine- Man I have yet to be addicted to a show like I am this one. Was never the type to be all caught up on a currently airing show but I just could NOT help myself when it came to this one. If it keeps going like this, this may be the first drama I give a 10.

Personally I think the Chinese are currently killing it with their dramas, and this is coming from someone who thinks J-Dramas are superior to everybody else -_-

Most Kdramas of 2017 and 2018 have been mediocre, but this is also true of most Cdramas (which are, in my opinion, several degrees worse.)

Very worth watching though:

My Ahjussi

Avenger's Social Club

Moneyflower

Because It's My First Life
