I found this of reddit and had a good laugh 😂 I luckily dodged all of them this year but I feel bad for all of you who watched those dramas! Hope next year will be the better year for k-dramas…
Of all of this only Extraordinary you hurt. Because it is just sad when a show is so so good but then nothing happens. It was excellent the first 6 episodes but then it didn’t go downhill, it just remained stagnant. While it’s not as bad as a show which was terrible from the start, this kind of disappointment hurts more because a few episodes raise your expectations to the sky. Otoh I love the unfiltered descriptions given to these shows 😂
Mine:
Memories of Alhambra: The game was interesting at first, and then it became too complex and out of hand it didn’t make sense. Female lead was nearly always crying. Why did secretary Seo had to die like that. What was that ending. Did he die or not? And….the writer’s wrap up interview. That interview made me dislike the show more.
Vagabond: What was that ending 2.0. Shin Sung Rok was so underutilized. Reckless male lead character and female lead character. (Note: character not the actor/actress)
When the Devil Calls Your Name: Too complex. I never understood what the drama was trying to tell and I didn’t symphatize with any of the characters. I managed to dislike JKH’s character, that’s saying a lot since he is the main protagonist and also one of my favourite actors.
More about Vagabond: it had a flimsy plot. The loveline contrived and forced. But I gotta say I did like the OTT car flip and Dalgun kicking the car door off and stepped out in one of the early episodes. It was one of the most OTT hilarious scenes that I never imagined seeing. That and the mobile phone surgery. It made me laugh 🤣.
WTDCYN was a disappointment. Something which could’ve been good reunion. First few episodes were fine but then it just dragged and became boring, it was too ambitious and didn’t understand how to handle or close that.
Memories of Alahambra was one of those that I watched whole heartedly then dropped at 17/18 I sometimes do that with no real animosity or dislike I just dont watch the new episodes without analyzing why, I think part of me recognizes that there will be no satisfactory resolution( at least for me) and judging from the comments I dont regret it though I really loved to see Hyun bin In something I enjoyed so much, I was disappointed in Hyde, Jekyll&I – also dropped in the last few episodes

He tends to pick pretty carefully, well if I ignore Big anyway.
I’d love to see him again.
