Shows I dropped and why

He's a jerk. That's the plot. No, thanks. 

--- Finished 07/2026 ---- Wasn't going the direction I wanted at all. Way too much drama and not enough characters, development and healing.

Cinematographically great but didn't hit the spot for me. I don't care much about the people who bullied me, it's the enablers I want to see burn and those are let off the hook as if it didn't matter. Setting is also too unrealistic for me to fully get into it.

KSH + clichés + long eps = nope. Used to like it for watching when I got home really late and just wanted to watch something but somehow that changed and it just bores me to death. 

Knowing a bit about business myself I just don't buy the characters' stupidity. You read so many books about economics and still don't understand the basic principles, you deserve to fail. Knowing better sucks. 

Got spoilered about a huge red flag trope and decided not to go there. 

-- Finished 05/26 --- I was expecting a lot more epic fantasy with a badass FL and a lot less generic romcom with a damsel in distress. Take a unique concept and make it...generic. Ugh. 90 mins per episode is  just way too long. Also got spoilered about the ending. Definitely overhyped.  

-- Finished 09/25 -- Nowhere to be found after Netflix removed it. Might pick it up again one day.

--- Finished 10/2025 --- Nowhere to be found after they removed it from Netflix. Might pick it up again one day.

I loved the upbeat and positive energy of this so much, but the plot and characters made me roll my eyes so hard I could almost see the back of my skull. Might pick it up again one day.

-- Finished 07/25 -- The plot just turned way too sad in a bad way and overly dramatic. I guess the only reason I watched is that I really wanted to see the initial setting, but there's not much I liked about the rest of it, really.

--- Finished 10/2025 --- Might pick this up again one day. Currently annoyed by the plot driven by mishaps and misunderstandings that all could have been prevented, but look at our great and brave hero who voluntarily suffers through all of this instead of just using his damn mouth.

-- Finished 01/2026 -- It had absolutely nothing intriguing anymore, I didn't fancy any of the characters, the story is finished, the plot told. Xu Kai's acting can't save me from my boredom.

Thought-provoking in regards of the euthanasia debate but not very convincing plot-wise. Romance between the leads was also morally questionable and FL was hard to like, though I didn't dislike her either.

It's not a story about the kids, it's a drama about Tatsuki. Tatsuki who'd need proper therapy but is let loose onto the most vulnerable instead. Tatsuki who makes decisions that, if it were me, I couldn't forgive. Super unprofessional.

ML is an idiot and reviews state it won't get any better. I am tired of the "acts like he doesn't like her, says he doesn't like her but the script demands he likes her" trope.

It's triggering me in a hundred different ways and I don't know if I will ever be able to look at it more calmly again. Might pick this up one day if I can.

I thought this was about a strong girl, but now it's about a criminal plot I can't take seriously.

Didn't love S1, was annoyed by the first game in S2 and Murakami Nijiro is noone you want to watch act anymore.

ML is supposed to be smart then acts the most stupid the whole time. Yeah, nah.

Everything revealed after Hana Kimura's death  and the way the company dealth with it.

They were cute as a couple but there is only so much toxicity I can take, and when the plot started to turn ridiculous too, I just couldn't

I used to love Meteor Garden, only to discover it was a remake and wanting to watch the original, only to then discover I had started to find knowingly crossing boundaries scary, not romantic.
