On Hold Dramas To (Soon) Escape The Limbo
Keeping track of my on hold dramas that still tickle my fancy (somewhat), so I remember they exist lol. Some of them are also on their watch-death row so when another try to get into them fails, i am gonna drop these shows in question.

1. The Secret Romantic Guesthouse
Korean Drama - 2023, 18 episodes
Stopped at 11/16 and don't know even why. Kinda lost momentum in a time where one sageuk aired after the other, i guess. I got spoiled how it ends so not much mystery left here anymore, but still want to give it another go for the cutie romance. Definitely gonna skip watch it tho.

2. Healer
Korean Drama - 2014, 20 episodes
Biggest drop candidate on this list, along with HIPM. Watched: 7/20. Healer, Healer, what am i gonna do with you? I already tried two times to get into your story, but it is just... a huge bleh. It has aged very badly, imo and is far too cheesy, and not the good, fun kind. But i give it another try for the romance aspect of it, even tho everything else does bore me to tears. And there are still so MANY eps left, so i hope my question when it gets good will be answered with SOON.
I will give it a final attempt very soon.

3. The Fiery Priest
Korean Drama - 2019, 40 episodes
Hmm, funny but could not get into it thus far. Since i am watching One the woman atm which has similar humor, i might give it another go.
-
4. He Is Psychometric
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
This show may make a surprise comeback after i loved Behind The Touch so much (hah it rhymes) So i will give it another go because it has the same themes with Psychometrics, murder and romance.

5. May It Please the Court
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Put it on hold during the law drama craze of 2022 (tm) and i was tired(tm) of the genre. Seems to be a good first candidate to switch lists to watched.

6. Suspicious Partner
Korean Drama - 2017, 40 episodes
Promoted from my dropped list to On Hold a while ago, i wanna give this nonsense another chance due to my love for Wookie and his acting. I mean i finished Melting Me Softly so how hard can this drama be then?
-
7. My Strange Hero
Korean Drama - 2018, 32 episodes
Beginning is so slow, i lost momentum and motivation to watch before it and the romance even started. Still very interested in it, so it is gonna escape limbo soon for another attempt to catch my attention.

8. Kokdu: Season of Deity
Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes
Watched: 9/16. My love for Junghyun transcends bad scriptwriting. My love for Junghyun transcends bad scriptwriting. My love for Junghyun transcends bad scriptwriting. My love for Junghyun transcends bad scriptwriting.//mantra.
Idk, i lost my motivation to watch this nonsense atm, but i miss KJH and his superb one man acting show in it, so i guess i still gonna watch this nonsense lmao

9. Strongest Deliveryman
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
idk why i stopped watching it. Maybe bc i didn't get far into it to get caught up in its story and got distracted by the next shiny. First two episodes were not really the most exciting ones in dramaland's existence either... but it is weird enough (food delivery martial arts romcom?) that i wanna give it another go.

10. Inspector Koo
Korean Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
Watched: 4/12. Probably not the smartest move to let a crime drama rot in the limbo for as long i have, but eeeeh it happened. Interested in it but hesitant to pick back up bc i probably remember zero of what happened, lol.
-
11. The Tale of Nokdu
Korean Drama - 2019, 32 episodes
It is a fun, cute sageuk romcom. i just lost momentum for it and atm there are so many sageuk dramas airing or soon to be airing than i am a bit exhausted of the genre. So it will stay for a bit longer on hold. Will be watched before UTQU tho, because at least it didn't not bore me, lol.
-
12. School 2017
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
A long-time guest on my on hold list and probably only not dropped because of Junghyun. I will persevere for him and the cutie romance with FL through this, even if the plot is stupid and draggy. Will continue to be an on/off guest on the OH list tho. Very slow watch.

13. Under the Queen's Umbrella
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
Like Healer, it is highly regarded and well loved on MDL. Like Healer, it bored the shit out of me but i hadn't had the heart to drop it yet. Watched 4/16 episodes only so my hope that it gets more interesting very soon hasn't died yet. With the current selection of sageuk airing or soon to be airing actually want to watch, it is unlikely to be picked back up soon. I just put it here so i remember it exists, to give it another go further down the line. Because i keep forgetting that, as it left zero impression on me thus far, lol.

14. Delivery Man
Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
It is pretty average. That much i forgot it is in my list still even, whoops. But i watched over half of it and it is a good timewaster so might as well finish it.

15. The Uncanny Counter
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes

16. Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938
Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
