Shows we love to hate?
Inspired by some conversations above: Which shows do you love to hate or consider to be bad but still enjoy? Bring on the bad taste contest! Admit your guilty pleasures! Share your deep, dark indulgences!
Here is my list:
Want to See You: Currently airing and I am very excited for the last two episodes. The writers are completely unconcerned with logic or reasoning, so every other episode they throw a ridiculous plot twist at us. There is no character development, rather sudden changes: "I guess I am into you now, because the script says so." They use some questionable background music and sound effects. We were blurting out laughing during one of the kissing scenes (there is some serious kissing going on in this show, the actors are not shy at all!) because they started playing something that can only be called "soft-pron-music". The cast is incredibly beautiful, and somehow I feel that they are having a lot of fun making this ridiculous show.
Mr Cinderella: Same production company as "Want to See You", same background music and sound effects, even the same clothes (lol), almost the same cast. Less random plot twists, though. A bit less enjoyable than "Want to See You" but still enjoyable enough.
Unforgotten Night: Not sure what makes this so enjoyable for me: the hilarious product placement, the bewildered facial expressions, the lack of chemistry between the MC, the tigers, the silly soft-pron-BDSM-scenes? Also, I still haven't figured out what the actual story is, but maybe I'll catch on in the remaining episodes. Kim is just beautiful, though.
Cheat: The first episode is called "Sex and Magic" and that is an extremely apt description for the entire series. This series is like a ride on a completely trashy soft-porn-ghost-train. I wanted to get off the train several times, but just couldn't. The story doesn't make sense. It is very low budget. Everyone in this show is completely insane. Since nobody cares about logic, plausible explanations and comprehensible reasons, there was a plot twist in the finale that I didn't see coming at all, but was a so much fun for me. Oh, and: Everybody dies. I'm really hoping they'll do season two! :-D
Be careful! This is complete anti-fluff and not for the faint at heart. Almost everything that needs content warning is included in this show. They really mean the 18+ rating! I occasionally also enjoy splatter movies, so there you go.
Secret Crush on You: I hate this series with the passion of 10,000 suns. Words cannot express how much I loathe this show. I know that a lot of people love it, but I just hated all of it. I hated every single character (except Daisy). I cringed at every single interaction of everyone. I thought that the story was stupid, the acting was overdone, and the characters were absurd. For some reason, I still needed to watch it until the very end. Maybe I need to go and rewatch now...
Shows I don't hate and don't enjoy: Stuff like Y-Destiny and Check Out that is just boring and uninteresting -- doesn't make my list.
There we go. I showed you mine, now show me yours :)
