Hyped Dramas That I Just Couldn't Finish

It seems that almost everyone loves these dramas...but well, I couldn't even finish them.
These are the ones I even doubt I'll ever try to pick up again. Sometimes I recognize that there are some good aspects, but they aren't enough to engage my attention for the whole run.

    Pretty much everything in this drama feels fake.
    It seems like those young adult love stories who kept coming out a few years back. Still the action scenes are well done; I just wish I could watch this without the romance side, but it seems to be too prevalent and at the center of the plot.

    The kids story at the beginning was cute, but they were too young for me to believe they were actually in love. Also the young FL was wonderfully acted, but her characterization was way too 'perfect' for my taste.

    I honestly didn't mind the adult FL performance as many did, but it's true that she doesn't emote that much. The issue that I just don't find the two lead characters compelling.

    I really don't like the 'fated lovers' trope much...also while I can't find much fault in the actors, I really don't like either the FL or the ML.
    The second leads seem to be more interesting to me, but not enough to endure going through this.

    I watched this at the very start of my adventure in K-dramas. 

    I really liked the beginning, but the story gets convoluted and boring.

    None of the main characters resonates with me. 

    Also I can't help but feel that this drama doesn't have much depth at all.

    I can't understand the entertainment value of this drama...it feels so boring to me.
    There were about two minutes worth of laughter in the first two episodes, definitely not enough to keep my interest. In contrast there were a lot of confusing reactions, cheesy moments and (worst of all) hints to a hidden shared childhood past that made me cringe right away.

    I loathe this one. I tried to like it...I did! I watched 9 episodes and it was painful.
    I hate both the leads...ML most of all but sadly I don't really like the FL either.

    WATCHED: 9/20
