Overhated dramas
There are those dramas that are overrated, and overhyped and then there are those dramas that people either seem to love or seem to hate and not much in between leading them to receive a whole lot of hate, sometimes making it feel like a ploy in positioning ones self by hating on it. This list is for those dramas who may not be our favorites but get more hate than they deserve and bring out our compassionate side wanting to tell the drama and its viewers, there, there, you are valid too. Taking a slightly neutral stand saying: I do not know if this is a great drama or even a good one but it is not as bad as people make it out to be... it is also okay to love the dramas you vote for, but it's more about hate the drama otherwise receives than love you have for it.
1. Do not forget the spoiler tag if your comment contains spoilers (even though this list is a bit of a spoiler in its own but still).
2. Be respectful, when judging the list people see different things, and have different opinions
3. This list focuses on dramas that receive hate, and should be judged according to hate received.
4. This is just for fun and does not require research or just cause.
5. If a drama is missing add it by typing the name of the drama in the box at the bottom of list (up to 100).
Edit: if you do not agree with a drama beig on this list, just Do NOT vote for it.
Thank you, and have fun!
