Yeah, I have felt burned out too in the past.
I have this crazy idea that when I start a drama I need to complete it no matter what, which means I have watched a lot of boring stuff which made me feel burned out. I have also watched older dramas which allowed me to binge watch. Being a drama addict, I ended up staying up all night just to watch one more episode, which made me feel even more burned out.
I think I'm in a better place now after taking a break. I have also recently found some dramas that appeal to me. For now, I am sticking to currently airing shows so I don't binge watch.
Thanks for starting this thread. I'm glad to hear that I am not alone. :)
Hun, get some sleep first. Sleep is beautiful. Sleep is amazing. A drama must be fucking good in order for you to sacrifice sleep for it. If you bored of a show, walk away. It is the only advice I can give, unless you skip some scenes which I think is the fastest way. There are too many unnecessary scenes in dramas.
I've only had the intense feeling to finish a drama when it is good, but then I stop just shy of two episodes because I don't want to it end. (I don't know if anyone else does this.) Anyway, you are not alone at all. I get burned out every one or so from dramas.
