what a nice article! i like the scientific approach! from my experience: I used to watch dramas till the end, just because I felt obligated to finish them, as they came from my favorite cultures. I don't remember when I first dropped a drama but it was because the plot was too boring and I didn't want to waste my time even on skipping. but there were only few, because I watched only the ones I was really interested in, of my fav actors/actresses were in. When I got busy with uni and later job was the time when I watched mostly ongoing dramas. which means I had to wait a week. I wasn't able to watch the new episodes after a week due to busy schedules, and as the time passed I grew cold. the feelings that were there grew cold and I didn't want to watch the drama. I took a lot of willpower to pick them up again. I few episodes to get hooked again. As i became busier I dropped more and more dramas. I Also started new ones that stole my attention away from the old ones. I opened MDL only recently (thanks to my friend) and when I saw that the list of dropped dramas is so big I started re-watching some XD however (here came the cheater in me) I mostly skipped the boring parts. Another reason for dropping dramas was when I watched them with my mom. which means I had to watch them when she is available and sometimes I was busy at that time. with schedule differences we were postponing it to the point where neither of us wanted to continue. Why? because there were already new ones that were even more interesting. haha By the way the genre that is most dropped for me is Romance/Comedy and least dropped is mystery/crime/thriller. I guess maybe that's because mystery is a genre that keeps you on the edge. with romance you know that they will eventually be together XD
But the article was really interesting! thank you!
