Well... time is not that bad. I had like 2 months when I completely stopped the project and did not watch one episode. I do it when I have less dramas on my ptw, or when I feel like I'm getting into a slump etc :)

damn. Well... this is for sure not for everyone. I'm doing it coz I'm truly having fun with the process. It's a good way for me to get out of a slump too.

I could never skip to 5th episode and not watch the 3 between 1 and 5 haha I either watch it all or drop it. But I have to say, that's some unique system. Glad it works for you. I don't have that "i want to know how the drama ends" tbh. For me the process of getting to that ending is what's interesting. I'm fine with not getting the closure (open endings are some of my favorite ones).

Good luck then! Take your time, and honestly, if you won't like the experience, feel free to stop. I'm doing it coz it's truly fun for me. But if it makes someone anxious or annoyed, there is no reason to do that :)

Oh, well, going with on hold is good too! I don;t have on hold, so for me dropped is the only way to go :D

You can take time with it. I never prioritize dropped dramas over the shows I am watching. I watch one or two episodes when I am done with currently airing ones, or I am in the mood to the "challenge" lol

oh, good to know! It is on my ptw list, will remember to be more patient with it hahaha

It's quite a normal thing on mdl I see often: people stop watching shows they enjoy, coz a new "shiny new toy" aka new drama shows up. The beginning of the shows are usually excited so we sometimes lose interest in the show we've been watching. Sometimes, all we need is a bit of a break for them to watch them again :)

I use random number generator formy ptw too hahaha I hate wasting time picking shows for hours, this solves the problem :)

oh, you have some well love titles in your dropped list hahaha Misaeng is on my ptw list. Everyone tells me I will love it hahahah

It's not for everyone hahaha if someone is sure, they will not like the shows they dropped, or they don't want to waste time with hopes of finding few good ones, then they don't have to do it.

But I myself have quite a lot of fun with this project :)

Oh, I totally do not have the "I have to finish everything I started" feeling. It's more on, for example: I drop shows coz I watch too many atm and feel overwhelmed. So it;s not like I dislike the shows, I just could not keep up. So I am sure I dropped shows I would love.

Well... I have such a "on a whim" reasons to drop dramas, I dropped quite a few I know I would like if I watched them in a different time (less stressful in real life, less currently watching airing shows etc.). I'm having a lot of fun with the project tbh. Sometimes I find hidden gems, sometimes I can entertain myself with ranting about how bad the show is not feeds hahaha

Well, since I started using on hold for completed shows and variety shows I am watching, I simply cannot put them on hold. Now, I usually add note to the dropped show, with the reason I dropped it. If it was just "not in the mood" etc, I usually am more excited to pick them up again.

I don't mind watching these 3 episodes of the shows I disliked and dropped (even if I still end up dropping them). With how easily I drop shows, making sure the ones on the list are actually not for me gives me peace of mind hahaha + ranting about them as I watch the 3 episodes is quite entertaining too hahaha

In the past I set myself a number of episodes I have to watch before dropping too. At some point I just stopped caring tho.

oh! I actually did not like first episode of Healer too. Not the best opening for a drama for sure.

Sometimes, watching a show with other people make is "better": either coz you are affected by them enjoying it or because you can rant together hahaha

Came across some of these during the project hahaha
Usually watching one episode I have already seen refreshes my memory enough to continue with the plot, but for few dramas I just had no idea what's up and what happened before.

Oh, I liked Goblin a lot but I also feel like I would not like it as much if I watched it now.
I dropped It's okay not to be okay too, for a specific reason aka they started to go into Disney territory of FL getting better with her APD coz of "love" lol

Secret is probably one of the best makjang melo kdramas in the history.
I've rewatched it quite a few times myself :)
