Forcing yourself seems like a harsh way to put it....I don't force myself but if a drama is just okay or not that great I'll finish it. If it's terrible then I just wont continue. I believe these things are for entertainment. If it's not entertaining for me then there is no need to go on. I have better things to do with my time.

I just like being able to say "Oh, hey, I watched that drama already" but I cant say that if I didnt finish it right? If i already spent half my time watching it, i mine as well finish it. Also, I can never be able to say a drama is bad until I finish it all the way through yanoe?

I'm the same, i can't leave a drama i'm watching unfinished even if it's boring, because i already wasted some of my time, what's the point of dropping it now ??
I force myself. If I don't I'll end up constantly wondering how it ended. I don't expect it to get better I just want to know what the ending was like. Of course I can't just skip to the ending though sadly that just makes to much sense.

LOL, I can totally relate! Even that one drama that I dropped because it's so terribly made and poorly acted, I still find myself wondering how did it end? I should just struggle thru the rest of it, I tell to myself. Only 5 eps to go & you're done.

So far I've fought & won against the compulsion to pick it back up, but it ain't easy! :)
In my case, I can never drop a drama or even put it on hold. Once I start something, I need to finish it no matter what even if I saw more 380 dramas, I still can't drop anything even if it's the worst thing ever.
I usually continue because I'm hoping it will get better or because I want to complete it for a challenge. However, I've found that I'm a little less forgiving and more willing to drop if it's really bad.
Oh well I put them in on hold list. When I can't decide what to start watching I finish them to spend time. And I seem to have lots of time lol :D I haven't dropped a drama yet. But I have some in my on hold list. And they've been there for a long time :P So you can say I don't drop them but finish them sloooooooowly
Dropping everything that seems even a little annoying or not my type.
No, if it is sufficiently poor with no signs of recovery, I will drop it.
I'm really a perfectionist that way. I have lots of dramas on my on-hold list because I can't bring myself to drop them even though they're not entertaining. And I usually finish the ones one my dropped list, too. Sometimes I have a day when I think: "Okay, you could watch an episode of Boys Before Flowers now. You need to finish it someday." - Then I fight through an episode and gladly put it back into the dropped list because I hate it. :P Now that I think about it, it's a little weird. :O
No, if something is boring (annoying is super-fine!) then I try to cope with it for an episode. If it continues in next episode then I don't waste my time and I drop it within few seconds ;) I don't care if it improves or not.
In 2013 I finished only 2 shows and dropped 14! :D
Even if it's more than annoying; I don't drop dramas. I am someone who has to finish something I started no matter what, I am a perfectionest that way; I never leave something unfinished even if takes me awhile to get it over with. Instead of dropping, I skip most of the parts and I end up finishing an episode in about five to ten minutes.

Hehe, not weird at all! I do this all the time! :)
I`m dropping or watching only main couple moments...with skipping all other parts

Really? I usually get annoyed of the main characters first and continue only for the sake of the side characters. :P
