Dropped (and the whys)
A list of my dropped titles and the reason why. Feel free to let me know if I dropped it RIGHT before it got good or if the ending is particularly fantastical and I should finish.
!!!! SPOILERS AHEAD, TREAD CAREFULLY !!!!
-
1. Begin Again
Chinese Drama - 2020, 35 episodes
Dropped at: 31/35
Way to go ruining a perfectly endearing story... Not sure why I even watched so long after the time skip... Maybe because it was my 2nd drama ever.
- Might finish it later for a challenge and to have completed those final 4 eps ?
-
2. Dance of the Sky Empire
Chinese Drama - 2020, 28 episodes
Dropped at: 12/28
Wasn't what I was expecting and didn't like either of the leads (especially ML) as well as the story (painfully slow and boring). Was waiting to see that emo supporting character but it just wasn't worth it.
- Will not pick up again. Might skim it later for those scenes
-
3. My Heroic Husband
Chinese Drama - 2021, 36 episodes
Dropped at: 20/36
Wasn't what I was expecting and though very funny, it was very male-gaze fanservicy and I wasn't feeling it.
- Might go back to it if I'm ever craving comedy
-
4. Dark Hole
Korean Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
Dropped at: 3/12
The only saving grace of this drama was the deadbeat cop FL. Everything else was so painfully boring I dreaded having to watch it despite co-watching with a friend.
- Will not pick up again
-
5. The Legendary Life of Queen Lau
Chinese Drama - 2022, 36 episodes
Dropped at: 15/36
Unrealistically and needlessly mean ML (+ I can't stand the actor and his perpetual migraine face, I feel so bad for him) + grating SFL (who's actress I cannot stand either)
Was debating dropping this one for a while but I finally did. ML is unreasonably mean towards FL (who is his wife and queen far away from her home and all alone) and doesn't make a great deal of progress throughout the drama. The comedy is funny but not worth watching an unbearably stupid, arrogant, and misogynistic ML.
- Will not pick up again
-
6. Beauty of Tang Men
Chinese Movie - 2021
Dropped at: 46:45
Sexist. Perv ML, stupid FL despite being a leader of an important sect--
- Will not pick up again
-
7. Home School
Thai Drama - 2023, 18 episodes
Dropped at: 5/18
Put it on hold over a year ago and didn't feel like continuing it. Acting was mediocre and plot was slow.
- Might come back to it later 'cause I am kinda curious.
-

11. Love Between Fairy and Devil
Chinese Drama - 2022, 36 episodes
Dropped at: 4/36
Cringe FL. Her voice was so grating and her character wasn't much better + didn't like SML

-
12. My Name Is Zhao Wu Di
