Drops/Disappointments
Shows I've dropped/put on hold, and shows that stand out in my memory as being disappointing. My comments include spoilers!

1. Lovely Writer
Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
Disappointment. This has a 7.5, simply because I enjoyed it so intensely at the beginning that it feels wrong to rate it any less. But this is going at the top of my list, because the ending made me see red. I HATED the ending to this show. I think it was one of the least satisfying endings I have ever seen. If the whole show had been poorly made, I could have accepted it. But it was ramping up to be one of the best, with beautifully created characters and conflicts, only to create new drama in the final act and solve it with... fairy tales? It was silly and unsatisfying, and I'll never get over it.

2. Fish Upon the Sky
Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
Disappointment. Funny as hell in some places, but became a slog at the end.

3. Together with Me: The Next Chapter
Thai Drama - 2018, 13 episodes
Disappointment. why why WHY
It's funny, because IPYTM, the other cheater-cheater-pumpkin-eater plot, gets a 9.5 from me. Why? Because it felt earned. It felt natural. And the reconciliation also felt natural.
Nothing about the drama in this show was earned. I fast forwarded through all the side plots. The 6.5 stars comes from my love and devotion to MaxTul.

4. 2gether
Thai Drama - 2020, 13 episodes
Disappointment. I still don't understand the hype for this show, and I never will. Stars go to BrightWin and to all the Scrubb songs

5. Destiny
Thai Drama - 2021, 15 episodes
Dropped. I couldn't. I just couldn't. I should have known from the chicken pox plot that I wouldn't be able to handle it, but I tried. After falling asleep during my attempts, I gave up.

6. Golden Blood
Thai Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
Disappointment. I was rooting for you, Golden Blood. We were all rooting for you. 7 is for PitchBank and all the laughs I had at Gun's teeth. ?

7. Water Boyy
Thai Drama - 2017, 14 episodes
Dropped/On Hold. I want to love this show because I love Earth with all of my heart. But I just... can't. I fell asleep multiple times when watching.

8. Don't Say No
Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
Disappointment. I love this show very much, and Fiat is now my favorite character in the TharnType universe. But the ending was so supremely unsatisfying that I feel it would be disingenuous for me not to include it on this list.
