Well... do you dislike the shows you watch that have not so good reviews? If not, then no, it is not hate-watching, but rather you just having less mainstream taste in dramas.

It is the term that is at the moment mainstream and in use. Also, the idea is: we truly DISLIKE the show, at times even hate it. But just because people hate the show, does not mean they will behave in hateful manner. These are two separate issues.

You talking about being just being di*k and trolls and it has nothing to do with hate-watching. There are people who LOVE the show and would call names anyone who disagrees. Or they will call actors in other currently airing dramas names, just coz their favorite title is not as popular. Since the behavior is not limited nor strictly linked to hate-watching, it should not be put in the same category.

I find it funny how much we shit on the dudes, as if the girls did no wrong from the start.
How come we think Ji A is amazing, when she plays 3 dudes (realistically speaking, she does not look that interested in any of them and she just likes flirting), but god forbit Jin Taek goes after someone else than So Yeol 🤣

Even Kang So Yeon, whom I liked the most kind of started to annoy me lately. It's not like she was interested in any of the guys, it feels like she just does not want to be left alone. It's true she never showed any interest in Jin Taek when he was working hard to get her interested, and she only responded when he made any move. And when he started to think she id not interested and moved to someone else, now she is jealous and annoyed? Well maybe you could have go and talk to him once 🤣

An Ye Won seems the best for me. She does not take this whole shit too seriously and just has fun.

Constantly voicing out hate on the TCs is the same as having someone constantly yell out obscenities and mock a movie while watching it in a movie theater. < it's not. You can turn off the live comment. You can't turn off the volume os someone screaming in theater. So it's not the same.

Also, mocking character's looks has nothing to do with hate-watching, it's just being rude, since the character's looks is how the actor/actress looks. Not every person who rants about the show is rude about it and how they voice their complaints.

I'd say the curiosity is the strongest reason. I am just amazed at times, how ridiculous the plot can get hahaha

The entertainment does not come from the drama itself, but rather analysing the flaws and ranting hahaha it's just a different from of fun 🤣 Since I don't do it often, I never saw it as a huge waste of time for me.

As for the comments - I strongly believe we either all can write whatever we want, be it positive or negative, or no one can wrote anything.

oh these are the ones I just cannot watch. The level of anger they bring in me is dangerous lol

I tried to rewatch it last year and failed at episode 4 🤣

Damn, I do it all: drop, skip scenes, watch on 2x speed 🤣
I'm like the worst audience ever, and you are the best

yeah, and somehow they always able to surprise me 🤣

Hope-watching is the only type I do not do. I just drop shows, fast. Honestly, I can;t even describe why some shows I drop and some shows I hate-watch. What the show has to have for me to hate-watch 🤣

Movies are good to hate-watch coz they are shorter, so you minimalize the "waste of time" aspect from it 🤣

It is possible to be like Hyunsoo, as in believing you have a disorder you do not have, and act accordingly. BUT they added the plot of him researching the subject, they added the aspect of him actually being extremely smart. The details did not match. They can't tell me he thinks is a psychopath, a smart person to that, when they show doing exercises psychopaths would not need to do ever. When his biggest issue is something psychopaths do not struggle with. How did he even got to the idea of all that practice, when any type of research would never lead him to the idea it's something he has to do. Coz psychopaths do not struggle with mimicking emotions and reading people. They struggle with truly feeling what other people do in a given situation so it's an emotional empathy problem, but cognitively wise, they are able to understand the emotions.

It's not about just the fact he believed in the misdiagnosis and acted according with it. It's about all the details of how his character was presented and the circumstances that do not add up.

As for cults. There is a reason people get separated from society when they join cults. This way the information they can access is limited so they are not confronted with the truth. But they told us ML did the research... implemented some aspects of it into his daily life (so he understood it), but also completely ignored the fact the things he is doing do not match with psychopathy at all, so he did not understand it.

I never said he was confident. I said he was shown to be smart at many instances.

And again, it's all about poor writing for me. If you want me to believe a character is confused - do NOT show me they did an excessive research on the topic and used the information they learned to function well in society. Coz what they tried to tell me he both understood everything, and understood nothing of what he studied.

+ it just shows the lack of research the writer made. Coz this whole mimicking facial expressions and reading people's feelings is something psychopaths DO NOT struggle with, but people with ASD do. This whole aspect made no sense with his diagnosis.

I had the same issue with It's Okay to Not Be Okay. Main character was introduced by psychopath, but by the end of the show she was not and she was getting better coz of people around her, when psychopathy does not work like that. Most dramas that name a specific disorder a character was diagnosed with or misdiagnosed with does a poor job with characterisation of the symptoms. They show what they want psychopathy to be and what fits the plot, and not what psychopathy is. When they just could tell us characters have some psychological issues, without telling us specifics, and this way they would solve their own problems.

I was unhappy with the casting, so I passed and did not even start watching it 🤣
But it was extremely popular, and I know what happens under popular dramas' comment section hahaha

The more dramas you see, the harder it is to actually truly love one.

oh I knew Mouse will be ridiculous mess since episode one, coz of all the pseudoscience 🤣 Luckily I was able to drop fast.

A show I find boring will never become a hate watch for me, and I will simply drop it. It must be a certain level of ridiculousness and poor writing that hits just the right pet peeves of mine for me to finish a drama as a hate-watch. that's why it rarely happens. I maybe truly hate-watched 10 shows? Nothing compared to 122 I dropped.

The "bad show" is such a vague idea tho. There are not really general criteria for it that are objective and apply for everyone. What is good writing, good directing, good editing, etc? You will get as many different answers as people on mdl. Everyone sees it different, defines it differently and focuses on different aspects when watching a show.

I mostly drop dramas I dislike too, but sometimes there are special cases, when the show is just so ridiculously bad, it's actually fun to take it apart and analyse what did not work out.

Remember, no one can stay single in k-drama teen romance 🤣 From a Distance Spring Is Green was a mediocre show and complete failure of an adaptation.

2gether was fun, as you said till they got together. But Bright and Win had no romantic chemistry, and they just seemed like a bros on screen...

A Love So Beautiful was truly a fun story, but Korean ver, just... nope. Dropped it after maybe 2 episodes? It just did not capture the original story well.

SAME! Well Intended Love was such a wild and frustrating ride. ML is a true psycho 🤣
