  • A Dream of Splendor

    1. A Dream of Splendor

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 40 episodes

    No clue, I'll probably try this one again.

  • A River Runs through It

    2. A River Runs through It

    Chinese Drama - 2021, 36 episodes

    I adored the ML, but I just couldn't stand how dragged out the crush Xiao Ju had on Cheng Lang was, it got very annoying. The side couples drama was beyond what I could stand, he was such a douche but I knew she was going to forgive him eventually so I decided to spare myself that. 

  • Arsenal Military Academy

    3. Arsenal Military Academy

    Chinese Drama - 2019, 48 episodes

    LOVE Xu Kai and LOVE his chemistry with Bai Lu, but this drama was too slow for me, I think that might just be a me problem because there really wasn't anything wrong with this drama. Maybe I'll give it another chance someday.

  • As Beautiful as You

    4. As Beautiful as You

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 40 episodes

    LOVE Xu Kai (like really love), but this was soooo boring, and especially during their breakup, I also don't really like the FL she was constantly making poor decisions and it was stressing me out.

  • Bring It On, Ghost

    5. Bring It On, Ghost

    Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes

    Could not feel any chemistry between the ML and FL, and when I found out their real age gap I felt gross. 

  • Business Proposal

    6. Business Proposal

    Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes

    Cringe. Cringe. CRINGE (and not in a good way)... the only interesting characters were the second couple. I adore Ahn Hyo-seop but for some reason his acting was really lacking in this one. 

  • Can This Love Be Translated?

    7. Can This Love Be Translated?

    Korean Drama - 2026, 12 episodes

    I was loving this in the beginning, but it lost me around halfway through. I really didn't like the ML, he spent so much time making it clear to the FL that he would not love her, so of course she's insecure and doubts him when he starts to actually have feelings for her, and instead of reassuring her he found a way to turn the situation around and make her the bad guy, and then she spent too much time pining and I couldn't stomach it; she was too good for him.

  • City Hunter

    8. City Hunter

    Korean Drama - 2011, 20 episodes

    Lee Min Ho's deep V-necks... that's it, that's the whole reason.

  • Eight Hundred

    9. Eight Hundred

    Chinese Drama - 2026, 20 episodes

    Dare I say the best Xu Kai has ever looked, he was so beautiful and miserable, but I knew it was going to be a very sad ending and I couldn't cope.

  • Good Boy

    10. Good Boy

    Korean Drama - 2025, 16 episodes

    I would have finished this solely for Park Bo-Gum but not even his wonderful self could make me suffer through another poorly choreographed action sequence. I enjoyed the FL but I couldn't get behind the romance. 

  • Guardian: The Lonely and Great God

    11. Guardian: The Lonely and Great God

    Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes

    Icky age gap. 

  • He Is Psychometric

    12. He Is Psychometric

    Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes

    I was in LOVE with the first half, but then it started to drag, and I was not the biggest fan of Jinyoung's acting in this (I do think he's gotten much better, I loved him in Our Unwritten Seoul).

  • Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha

    13. Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha

    Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes

    I thought the leads had decent chemistry, but the ML made me so mad for the better part of the show that I couldn't like him at all even when he started warming up to the FL more. I like these kinds of small town, beachside, tight-knit community, slice of life dramas but the towns people in this just pissed me off and I couldn't look past it. I also didn't like the inclusion of what felt like a very unnecessary and random love triangle. 

  • I'm Sorry, I Love You

    14. I'm Sorry, I Love You

    Korean Drama - 2004, 16 episodes

    I want to give this another shot but I'm so SCARED. love the FL though.

  • In Your Radiant Season

    15. In Your Radiant Season

    Korean Drama - 2026, 12 episodes

    I don't vibe with unnecessary AI use... Gross.

  • Into the Ring

    16. Into the Ring

    Korean Drama - 2020, 32 episodes

    I kept waiting for the ML to become more likable but he didn't, and I got very bored very quick. 

  • Light beyond the Reed

    17. Light beyond the Reed

    Chinese Drama - 2025, 18 episodes

    who know's I honestly don't even remember starting this.

  • Love All Play

    18. Love All Play

    Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes

    I probably would've finished this drama because I really enjoyed most aspects of it, but it was making me way too sad. I couldn't stand the way people treated Tae-Yang and I also couldn't stand that she was allowing herself to be treated this way. Tae-Joon's mother was beyond insufferable. 

  • Love Scout

    19. Love Scout

    Korean Drama - 2025, 12 episodes

    I'm tempted to give this another chance, but it was just way too slow for me. 

  • Love's in Sight!

    20. Love's in Sight!

    Japanese Drama - 2021, 10 episodes

    I think I was expecting and wanting something a bit more sad/melodramatic, and instead it was very light hearted and cute, which really surprised me and let me down considering I've been trying to watch this for months but was only recently able to because it was just put on Prime.

  • Lovers of the Red Sky

    21. Lovers of the Red Sky

    Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes

    Zero chemistry between the leads, horrible visual effects, and a messy storyline. Good concept, bad execution. 

  • Marry My Husband

    22. Marry My Husband

    Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes

    I might give this another try, I can't explain what turned me away from this at the last minute I think I got annoyed by the ML. Storyline was great though. 

  • Marry My Husband: Japan

    23. Marry My Husband: Japan

    Japanese Drama - 2025, 10 episodes

    I didn't like the ML

  • Moment at Eighteen

    24. Moment at Eighteen

    Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes

    Too juvenile, which I know is the point but I just wasn't enjoying it.

  • Moon River

    25. Moon River

    Korean Drama - 2025, 14 episodes

    This was my first ever body switch drama, and this made me realized I HATE that trope.

  • Moonlight

    26. Moonlight

    Chinese Drama - 2021, 36 episodes

    Great chemistry, but boring plot and was cringey at certain points.

  • My Fated Boy

    27. My Fated Boy

    Chinese Drama - 2021, 29 episodes

    The romance between the lead was amazing but the rest of the show was cringey and boring.

  • My Little Happiness

    28. My Little Happiness

    Chinese Drama - 2021, 28 episodes

    The main couple was SO cute, but that was all that was good about this, so I just watch their scenes and skipped the rest so I consider this drama dropped.

  • My Love from the Star

    29. My Love from the Star

    Korean Drama - 2013, 21 episodes

    I know this is really superficial but I just couldn't with the ML's haircut, it was awful and so distracting I couldn't finish the show. Although in light of recent events I'm glad I dropped it. 

  • My Lovely Liar

    30. My Lovely Liar

    Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes

    It must be something about Kim So-Hyun I have never been able to finish a drama with her in it, and the ML's acting was horrible. 

  • My Roommate Is a Gumiho

    31. My Roommate Is a Gumiho

    Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes

    I liked the college setting and the leads chemistry, but something about them was also very stiff and awkward and I couldn't look past it. Also the ML creeps me out.

  • No Gain, No Love

    32. No Gain, No Love

    Korean Drama - 2024, 12 episodes

    honestly I kinda just forgot about this one because I had other dramas I was watching that I enjoyed way more. I might revisit it. 

  • Oh My Venus

    33. Oh My Venus

    Korean Drama - 2015, 16 episodes

    I didn't like the way the ML acted with her in the beginning it almost made me feel shame, maybe he gets better but I didn't care to stick around to find out. 

  • Our Beloved Summer

    34. Our Beloved Summer

    Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes

    the most boring drama I've ever had the displeasure of watching. 

  • Perfect Marriage Revenge

    35. Perfect Marriage Revenge

    Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes

    WAY too overdramatic for me. 

  • Seasons of Blossom

    36. Seasons of Blossom

    Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes

    I absolutely loved the story in the past but the present was very boring and they were all bad actors. 

  • Secret Royal Inspector & Joy

    37. Secret Royal Inspector & Joy

    Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes

    boring story, boring chemistry, boring everything omg.

  • Sniper Butterfly

    38. Sniper Butterfly

    Chinese Drama - 2025, 30 episodes

    Good chemistry but that's it. I will say I'm happy I tried this because it gave me more of a sense of Daniel Zhou's acting, and I think that from Always Home to this to Never Ending Summer, he has grown so much as an actor and I'm very excited for what else he'll do.

  • Snowdrop

    39. Snowdrop

    Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes

    I will try again one day but I got scared of the sad ending.

  • Something in the Rain

    40. Something in the Rain

    Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes

    this one is self explanatory.

  • Spring Fever

    41. Spring Fever

    Korean Drama - 2026, 12 episodes

    Another shallow reason, but I was let down that the tattoos were fake, also it was really boring.

  • Strong Girl Bong Soon

    42. Strong Girl Bong Soon

    Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes

    I can't stand unnecessary serial killer subplots.

  • Suspicious Partner

    43. Suspicious Partner

    Korean Drama - 2017, 40 episodes

    Their drama got too annoying.

  • Tempted

    44. Tempted

    Korean Drama - 2018, 32 episodes

    I definitely didn't give this one a fair chance, but Joy's acting was awful and Moon Ga-Young's character pissed me off.

  • That Winter, the Wind Blows

    45. That Winter, the Wind Blows

    Korean Drama - 2013, 16 episodes

    I couldn't get past him pretending to be her brother it was too weird for me.

  • The Best Thing

    46. The Best Thing

    Chinese Drama - 2025, 28 episodes

    I love this for the sole reason it introcuded me to Zhang Ling He but towards the end with the whole 'him keeping her mothers cancer a secret from her and her instantly forgiving him' thing I was fed up, I understand the whole confidentiality thing but christ dude that's your girlfriends mom.

  • The Crowned Clown

    47. The Crowned Clown

    Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes

    I need to try this one again too.

  • The First Night with the Duke

    48. The First Night with the Duke

    WAY too insta-love. It never felt like a real romance.

  • The Haunted Palace

    49. The Haunted Palace

    Korean Drama - 2025, 16 episodes

  • The Legends

    50. The Legends

    Chinese Drama - 2019, 56 episodes

  • The Oath of Love

    51. The Oath of Love

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 32 episodes

    Xiao Zhan is so gorgeous and talented omg, he was almost enough for me to finish this but again too long and boring, and I didn't like the third act breakup.

  • The One and Only

    52. The One and Only

    Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes

    I really liked them together, but all the other drama was not interesting at all and just annoyed me.

  • The Prisoner of Beauty

    53. The Prisoner of Beauty

    Chinese Drama - 2025, 36 episodes

    Everyone and their mother loved this except for me apparently. Actually I did love most things about it (especially the FL), I just could not handle how childish and immature the ML was.

  • The Smile Has Left Your Eyes

    54. The Smile Has Left Your Eyes

  • The Tale of Nokdu

    55. The Tale of Nokdu

    Self explanatory, again.

    the ending was spoiled for me and after that I didn't think it was worth it.

  • Twinkling Watermelon

    59. Twinkling Watermelon

    this one is controversial, but I just didn't vibe with the main couple.

  • Uncontrollably Fond

    no idea.

  • What's Wrong with Secretary Kim

    62. What's Wrong with Secretary Kim

    Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes

    I've tried twice to get through this drama which says a lot about how much I wanted to like it cause I almost never try a dropped drama again, but the whole childhood kidnapping plot, the brother, and park min young with her cringy mannerisms I just couldn't do it
