Kdramas that disappointed me

Dramas I had been looking forward to, had high expectations for or that started out good, but that unfortunately ended up being disappointing.

    Korean Drama - 2021, 20 episodes

    7.5

    Okay to be fair, it wasn't that bad but it clearly wasn't as great as people are making it out to be. It was dragged out, predictable in many aspects and there are just... many flaws. It is entertaining, but it's nowhere near perfect and it's not a masterpiece either.

    It's compared with Beyond Evil a lot, but to me they are nothing alike. There's an entire universe that separates them when it comes to quality of writing and strength of the plot

    Do I even need to explain?

  • The Good Bad Mother

    3. The Good Bad Mother

    I was really drawn to this show after reading the synopsis. Then I saw that the director was the same as Beyond Evil and my expectations went through the roof. It seemed fresh, new. A drama that talks about bad parenting in a less cartoonish but more humane way? Sign me up.

    But then it started airing and it became clear it wasn't what I had been looking forward to.

    There were good things, but also a lot of not so good things.

  • D.P. Season 2

    4. D.P. Season 2

    Korean Drama - 2023, 6 episodes

    It's a good season regardless but it pales in comparison to the first one, and I think anybody can see that without needing to explain. Season 1, and the show itself, would have been just fine without that sequel.

  • Prison Playbook

    5. Prison Playbook

    Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes

    7.5

    I knew everyone was praising this show, but you know what... I went in without high expectations and was still disappointed. I can see what people liked about it, but for me there were just too many aspects that were off. I'm not gonna write an entire review here, but there are things I appreciate about Prison Playbook. However I still think it's not as good as it could've been.

  • Somebody

    Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes

    5.5

    Trying so hard to be weird and edgy but it simply doesn't work. I like auteur cinema, I like weird conceptual shit, so that's not the issue. The issue is that Somebody tries to be deep when it's just bad.

  • Oasis

    7. Oasis

    Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes

    6.0

    I was expectantly waiting for the next episodes to drop every week even though this show got me pulling my hair out from beginning to ending I was honestly hoping it could get better, hoping it could be salvaged, hoping it would stop wasting its potential (am I a masochist?).

    Spoiler alert: it didn't. Gucci OST tho

  • The Golden Spoon

    Same feeling as for Oasis. Couldn't wait to watch the next episodes, wanted it to be good from the bottom of my heart, but it got worse and worse and worse and...

  • Revenge of Others

    I wrote a 2k6 word review about it, I don't think there's anything left to say.

    Color Rush Season 1 was cringe but fun. 

    Color Rush season 2 was cringe and painful, an absolute nightmare.

  • Strong Girl Namsoon

    Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes

    This show is a bad sequel, but also simply painful to watch even without having expectations as high as for Do Bong Soon.
