Overrated Dramas?

Nikshimi
For me the most overrated dramas are Bridal Mask and Shut Up Flower Boy Band. Bridal Mask was just boring all until the last 2 episodes. It was the same thing,all over and all over again. As for the other one....it's just so lame I can't describe it.

-The Greatest Love: It was better than most I've watched. As much as I wanted to like it, I just couldn't. It's not that I hate it, I just found it bland. -Boys Over Flowers: that thing sucks. -Reply 1997: People are gonna kill me. But I just... I didn't see what everybody is fawning over. -My Girlfriend is a Gumiho: Couldn't even finish it.

Boys Over Flowers- I dropped it after episode 4 because I just couldn't stand it anymore. Horrible plot, tacky clothes and bad acting. It's hard to believe it belongs to the same franchise with Meteor Garden (well the acting in MG was bad as well but at least it had other good points that overshadowed it). To The Beautiful You - The scenery and the colors of this show were amazing. And yes I really liked the cast. But other than that this show was a complete mess! I couldn't get past episode 3 and from what I've read it didn't really get any better. And what a pathetic excuse for a female character Jae Hee (is that her name?) was!

Reply 1997 - personal just because I couldn't stand it at all. I struggled to make it through the 6 or so episodes I saw, and the episodes are short! That's with dropping it, twice. BoF - I enjoyed it but god, do I never hear the end of it. I didn't like the female lead, didn't really enjoy LMH in it even though I <3 him in everything else, it was too long, story was all over the place... eh. I only watched the entire thing because I was too new to Kdramas to drop one.

Haha yes indeed BOF is indeed overrated, but tbh, I actually enjoyed watching it. Not for the actors/eyecandy or anything but I honestly enjoyed watching it! Hmm maybe it's just me... And I do have to agree that Goo Hye Sun annoyed the hell out of me in BOF, they could have casted a better Geum Jan Di. Another drama I found overrated was Shut Up Flower Boy Band. Yes the music is good, but there isn't much of a plot in it. I only managed to finish the whole thing just because L was in the show and I was a fan of him back then.

I'm glad to see that there are many people who think Boys Over Flowers is overrated. Lots of my friends who even prefer to watch American shows and who are not really K-Drama fans say they love it and it's one of the best shows they ever watched and lots of other similar things. But, I think it is full of cliches, not really funny and most of the time boring. And I think it took me like 1 month to finish it.

You're Beautiful (it was funny at times but very lackluster) My Princess (the leads had a few good moments but the rest of the time I was so annoyed I couldn't finish it) Boys Over Flowers (enjoyed it overall but it has so many flaws) To The Beautiful You (merely pretty, the only good characters are Eun Gyeol and maybe Ha Na) Full House (very cute but annoying at times) Take Care of the Young Lady (great leads, but no chemistry together)

Didn't like You're beautful very much. I didn't care for the male lead at all. But I think, to fairly judge a series as overrated, you have to see at least more than the first one or two episodes. Most of my favorite tv shows (not K-Dramas) I didn't even like at the beginning, but for some reason or another I stick with them and never regreted it.

Secret Garden (don't kill me!) - the acting was good and so was the chemistry but the plot was just too typical and nothing special!! She was a strong character to begin with and then suddenly just becomes weak unable to think for herself!! Typical kdrama heroine. Think it's because of Hyun Bin that it's so popular. I enjoyed the series but it's too overrated!!! BOF is definitely another one. Goo Hye Sun just got on my nerves!!

Boys Over Flowers - I don't like anything about this drama. Everything is lame.

Faith - As a former LMH fan I can say its rating is high mostly because 'LMH Effect'. :rolleyes: I only like LMH's sidekicks and OST part 6.

The Bridal Mask - I admit I loved this show at first and I also recommended it to many but after its just annoying. Acting is poor. Mok Dan was most annoying. Joo Won and Park Ki Woong's acting was overall good but sometimes they overacted. Most over-overrated show.

Innocent Man - I enjoyed this show but its highly overrated.

Missing You - Still airing but same case like Innocent Man.

IRIS - As a Lee Byung Hun fan, I'm very disappointed. Ultimate boring.

Faith: I was ready to drop it after the first episode, but watched to the end with a -.- really? thats how this all ends!!! Coffee Prince: It was like riding a bike, but then the wheels just started coming off. T.T Coffee House: Just wasn't going anywhere to me *dropped* King of Baking, Kim Tak Goo: I LOVED LOVED LOVED this drama, until espy 5? were he becomes some street fighting thug hunting whatever he was O.o Full House: I lost all respect for the female lead when she forgave her "friends". Stairway to Heaven: I KNOW it's like a legend but it was just too much.

I agree, the body switching just seemed out of place in the drama didn't really fit in well even though it was an important element it wasn't done well...nonetheless it was fun to watch but not as good as many people make it out to be ( just my own opinion)
