I did! I don't remember very well the story but I still listen the OST from time to time. I watched it for Bae Doo-Na whom I have discovered in God of Study :)

I watched it too! I remember liking the start but it lost a lot of potential along the way. I gave it 6/10 on mydramalist haha

Watched it as well,remember liking the most of it!

Login to just to comment and like. Hahaha. I also liked Gloria.

Me too. I like Gloria and followed the 50-ep run religiously, haha. For weekenders like this, I take the mid-drama trough as a norm and didn’t mind the plot holes or drag that much because Bae doo-na and Seo Ji-suk is one good OTP and I love the second couple too.

Capital Scandal is on my never-ending list of dramas I want to watch... one day...

I love Capital Scandal! The second lead couple had me so invested in the story.

re: "one of the most nuanced looks at the daily moral decisions people are forced to make in a time of crisis" - I agree, they did a really good job in showing the impact of your environment and circumstances.

Remember liking it a lot when i watched it

Yess. I really like it alot.. it's a funny drama too and always in my rewatch list.

I love to hate that one. It's so ridiculous but often the first thing I watch.

This is one of the crazy good makjang dramas. It makes me feel slightly better about my self because everybody in the dramas was soooo bad. This is the psychological effect of watching makjang. Ha ha ha
But I still don't have the urge to watch 3rd season because I am feeling fatigue over romance affair themed dramas lately. Maybe sometimes in the future

Can’t even find it in IMDb!

TK:EM crew! I had lots of fun watching this glorious mess. LMH, bless him, was clearly the weakest link in the cast, but everybody else was pretty good in making all the inconsistency more palatable. And Woo Dohwan is 💚

I was going to answer the same show! 😅

I really like The King. It’s true I mocked it quite a lot for its blatant PPLs, but I really like it. The visuals are there, all the props, beautiful places and costumes, the songs, everything made a perfect fairy tale. I was willing to be immersed in it so I had no problem with everything. Perhaps what I like most about it is the songs and the esthetic aspect of the show.

Woo Do Hwan was really good in it. I even liked Jung Eun Chae, she perfectly played her role. The plotline of the drama has many loopholes but I enjoyed it nevertheless 😅

hmm, Woo Do-hwan, definitely a reason for me to give this one another shot

I enjoyed it. The time travel, other dimension shenanigans were right up my alley. Yeong and Eun Sop and the twins… too cute!

I was okay with the ending of GFB - it wasn’t what I would have chosen, maybe, but it definitely wasn’t as terrible as I was led to believe.

Oooooooomg, I was just trying to remember the full name of Love Story in Harvard a few days ago, and trying to remember at what US college they actually shot it. I think a lot of people watched it at the time but you’re right, you never hear about it any more.

I loved Love Story in Harvard! Although to be honest, I wouldn't rewatch it anymore but I enjoyed it a lot.

i enjoyed Black a lot - twist upon twist!

And I loved FBND though I did think Enrique was a bit too much especially when I had identified more with the introverted heroine.

Gu Family Book - I couldn’t stomach the abuse experienced by KC’s mom and the daughter of the Park family.. so traumatising. But I still liked the drama. Suzy’s spunky FL!

Flower Boy Next Door - I luuuurrrved Enrique. “Ahjumma, Ahjumma, Ahjumma!!”

BACKSTREET ROOKIE was actually a great show which simply had one avoidable flaw. I loved it too. In fact, great many people actually loved it- it was one of the top shows on iQIYI for more than a year which is why Viki went ahead and picked it up. Because of the unnecessary flaw it was PC to 'hate it'. I strongly suspect that most of the haters never actually saw the show. Too bad for them- because it really is a great show about family and even the ethics of dating.

It is a prime example of the fact that Korean Drama writers could use a good editor. The unnecessary flaw could have been eliminated without harm to the actual story.

Both leads were fabulous, Kim Yoo-jung in particular gave a fabulous performance- as she always does. She is one of my very favorite actresses for a reason (and my wife has a real girl crush for her).

I really liked this drama.

The family theme, the fact is not a shame to want a simple life without ambition. KJY was great as young adult who is alone with her responsabilities and JCW as a normal person :p

I really liked that show, it was cute and funny. And I loveeeed the chicken song, it was hilarious.

That is understandable- THE WORLD OF THE MARRIED was a re-make of a British show which itself was based upon the ancient Greek story of Medea. With such deep roots it could hardly avoid being classy.

Yes! That show was hilarious.

Penthouse is the kind of makjang I enjoy. I don't like it when they try to make me cry or feel super bad for a character (like in Uncertain Family -I think that's the name, Tree of Heaven, etc). I like it when my makjangs go totally crazy about revenge and power and have ridiculous (but funny, not sad) plot twists (like Mine and Penthouse).

I watched World of the Married purely because everyone I knew watched it. I didn't want to watch it at first because of its infidelity theme. True, I gave up Penthouse quite quickly. Now that you mentioned it, I gave it up because it was "trashy".

Season 1 of penthouse was a masterpiece! It was so deliciously trashy and ridiculous! It made me cry, curse at my tv in anger… such a roller coaster but I regret nothing!!!!I loved how extra the actors were and how it seemed like the writer chose violence every single day they were working on this. It’s truly not a “good” drama but I was compelled to tune in every week. Unfortunately the quality of the drama went down with each subsequent season and by the end just wanted it to be over. But season 1 of penthouse will always have a special place in my heart

My friend really loves this one, I think because it was the first drama she watched! We watched each others favorites and though I didn’t love it as much as she did, I still remember it fondly, lol.

My bestie and I cried our eyes out together for UF and swore our love to UF till today. UF has very makjang plot but we were super invested in the characters and the OSTs just make us feel all the feelings. Definitely one of the more memorable Kdramas to me.

Idol: the Coup!!! Sooo many tropes and tedious makjang, but like you, I would rewatch it for the music and dance scenes. I honestly have no regrets watching this drama!

I really liked WWI and found it a very interesting look at the behind the scenes of SK television. The leads and second leads were good and my absolute favorite thing was the group of gossipy older actresses who knew every nook and cranny of the others’ personalities (including future Oscar winner Yoon Yeo Jung). They were hilarious.

I watched it because I read it was controversial at its time. I thought it was average. SHK performance I thought was better than HB.

I liked WWI but I did not care for the character of SHK. This show was so interesting for me because I got an idea about what goes on in drama production. Other than that, I forgot the details.

I did watch that but the only detail I remember about it was that it was a slow burn romance. Am I right?

Oh, another one, it's Something in the Rain. The couple was so great than I didn't care so much for the mother. I'm the rare one who loved the OST :p

Clean with Passion has made me felt the experience of living my fangirl life to the fullest, from being a casual fangirl, diligently posting a lot of edited pictures and videos on my fanacc, and joining secret groups. It's so much fun ! Maybe not here on dramabeans, but I remember meeting a lot of other fangirls on Instagram and YouTube especially on their bts vids

I loved The Undateables! So many people are bothered by Hwang Jung-eum; I've never had a problem with her. She and Namkoong Min had an interesting chemistry and they seemed to feed off each other quite well. It showed a soft, cute side of NM that we haven't seen since, in my opinion. (On a side note, I love that Kim Kwang-kyu and Jung Young-joo are Shin Ha-ri's parents in Business Proposal lol)

I watched TWY, Dimples couple 💑, see through future handphone. The drama made me read The Time Traveler's Wife 😄 Bad book and just so so drama. But I forget who is the villain that you are talking about?

Awww I miss this show. I love it! I still remember how I woupd watch it raw just because I didnt have the patience to wait for subs. That's how much I wanted to see it. Love the directorial choices in this drama. AND THE OST! Omg the OST, so on point! It had like three songs but I've never seen songs that completely embodied the show like these ones.

I absolutely loved Tomorrow With You. It’s got its flaws, but I find them so easy to overlook when the main couple is so wonderful. It’s also gorgeously directed and the soundtrack was beautiful. And I agree with everything you said about the main villain.

I thought TWY also had a decent portrayal of a newly married couple--with all the problems that come with being newly married. The fantasy element just added to their problems.

I didn't like the ending, but I enjoyed most of the drama and the Lee Je Hoon and Shin Mina had so much chemistry, I had to hold my breath sometimes. Like I didn't really get why and how the ML fell for the FL, but it didn't matter. What mattered was that she became his family and his love.

For me, Cheese in the Trap was an example of a drama that I loved up until it went off the rails at the end - it felt like the writer/directer had no idea what to do with the dark, complicated relationship between the leads so they just tried to avoid it rather than addressing it head-on (and it sounded like there was serious behind-the-scenes drama going on as well). It's a shame, because I really wanted to see the show explore the ramifications of being attracted to someone who is deeply problematic in a lot of ways.

I actually really loved the first 2/3rds of CITT. It's just too bad that the off-screen drama seeped through the on-screen one. That drama could have been one of the greats of not for the character and plot compromise. 😔
Though I guess this is nothing compared to the rage that I felt for Do Do Sol's wtf ending. Or for Memories of Alhambra's wasted potential. 😅
I do still have most of CITT's OST on my Spotify playlists. Although listening to them makes me sigh and pine for the what-could-have-beens.

I love Cheese in The Trap and still rewatching it until now. I refuse to believe that those ending happens.

I really enjoy You’re All Surrounded. It is definitely uneven and feels like they forgot a few storylines along the way but I would say it is at worst inoffensive, and is very funny in places (I find the bit at the start hilarious - if dark - where he’s being chased through the school by the murderer and she’s trying to apologize/innocently commentating where he is over the loudspeaker)

I actually agree on You're All Surrounded. I mean, yeah, it's mostly forgettable but that's because it's aggressively middle of the road. In fact I saw it on Netflix the other day and wished I hadn't seen it yet because that was the exact kind of drama I felt like watching - something that wasn't actually bad but that I was also not going to get invested in.

I watched You're Beautiful fairly early in my K-drama watching career (admittedly only about two years ago), and was decidedly meh about it. After the Dramas Over Flowers team covered it last year I decided to give it another go, and I was glad I did: I felt it was much better than I remembered.

Now I'm tempted to try So I Married the Anti-fan (I always read the title as 'So I Married Antifa' which is totally a drama I would watch) again. I almost started last year it but other things took precedence.

Agreed a thread on dramas everyone loved but I thought were terrible would be, um, productive.

Many people, myself included, consider YOUR'E BEAUTIFUL to be a true classic and one that has been loved by many.

You’re Beautiful is a classic beloved by many veteran kdrama watchers, at least from my experience. I won’t pretend that I revisit it all the time, but when I do, I always have a blast. The sheer nostalgia factor overpowers all the parts that didn’t age well. Plus, that soundtrack is still one of the greatest of all time.

I loved You're Beautiful! The OST was good. It suffered because it was airing in the same time than IRIS with big stars.

I loved You're All Surrounded and have rewatched it many times. Actually gets better every time.

But it's so much FUN to make FUN of, beffels 😂😂😂
Ah, The Invincible Cha Dal Geon. Classic.

I love Vagabond too! I love action-y movies a lot and love it when dramas try something different, so I had fun watching all the stunts they pulled off. The ending made me groan because the worst ending is no ending, but I still like it for all that it tried to do.

The best brain surgery ever. I loved hating this one.

Awl is really good!

38 Task Force and Bad Guys rock! I think a lot of people liked them but they just don't mention them.

Jealousy Incarnated was soo funny! I don't know if other people liked it or not but I really enjoyed it.

Two Weeks is still on my watch list!!! I'll get round to it one day.
It took me 5 years to get round to watching White Christmas, so you have to give me time with these things hahaha

38 Task Force is fun. The writer does the same thing with their character resolutions in more than one of their dramas (has a very similar resolution to My Fellow Citizens lol) but it was an easy binge, and also, Ziggy as a con man? Yes please ^-^ (Same writer as Bad Guys as well btw)

Ex Girlfriend Club!!!!! Idk who's not talking about it or saying not positive things about it cos I've only ever seen rather the opposite haha.
First of all, best frakking theme tune ever- So gosh darn catchy and the best way to end every episode- also got me into Jannabi and I can never be more thankful. Secondly, I found it very funny and a lot of fun, and therefore think it's kind of underrated and recommend it to people who just want fun crack. I did skim some of the later episodes, but I remember it being such a side splitting blast otherwise. Also, I adore Ryu Hwa Young in it. I like her in general but that was her debut role and when I think I first noticed her.

I could've sworn Jealousy Incarnate had a pretty avid following on here, but I've never personally seen it so someone else can follow up on that.
I haven't seen any of the rest, sorry, although I know of several of them!

THIS WEEK MY WIFE IS HAVING AN AFFAIR was actually really good- and a much more honest look at infidelity than most shows.

JEALOUSY INCARNATED was also really good and enjoyed by many people.

I think there are a lot of quirky, solid, interesting shows out there that weren't ever huge hits but deserve to be checked out (of the ones on your list, I'm especially partial to 38 Task Force, This Week My Wife will Have an Affair, and Memory). Other similar ones I'd add are Evasive Inquiry Agency, The Queen's Classroom (Korean version), Pied Piper, and A Beautiful World.

People loved Jealousy Incarnate, it is hard to believe that none of us talk about it any more. I wonder why that happened, it was wonderful.
