Commitment Issues PTW

True Title is: "Titles I Saw Somewhere that I'm Curious about but not enough to commit to putting on my PTW"

**Also for anyone who has liked this list and come back to it over time. I do regularly delete titles I'm no longer interested in, watched or something else. So if you can't find a title anymore that you know was here before that's why. Sorry for any trouble this causes other users!

This is a hodge-podge of:

A) Titles I saw someone mention on feeds and thought were interesting

B) Titles I saw somewhere on social media that caught my interest enough to list here

C) Titles that got a strong recommendation or review from a trusted source but... commitment issues lmao

D) Titles of actors or actresses that impressed me in a different movie/drama so I picked something of their's to check out later

E) Titles with members of Kpop groups I use to follow but now are disbanded/reconfigured/stopped following for whatever reason/etc BUT I want to watch a drama/movie they were in for nostalgia purposes later

F) Titles that were on a yearly list, but the year has passed I haven't watched and so they get dumped here
