Dramas you thought you would hate but ended up loving?

For me it's actually Falling For Innocence, mainly because I watched the trailer and it had nothing to do with the actual story, so I immediately disregarded it at first. Now it's one of my favourite dramas!

First, I would never start watching a drama I thought I would hate.  However, one drama I started out with very little expectation but it ended up as one of my all-time favorites is:  Dream High.

- Same here, I didn't expect much from Dream High because I'm not very fond of music dramas. But I ended up liking it thanks to Kim Soo Hyun. His role was so different compared to You Who Came From the Stars that I nearly didn't recognize him.
- I didn't expect to like Kill Me, Heal me so much even after a few episodes. I first rated it 7.5 but the more I watched episodes, the more the rating went up.
- And I was also reluctant to start Bad Guys until someone recommended it to me in another thread. It was really good.

Sungkyunkwan Scandal - I don't like historical dramas and when I first watched it, I did hate it. But after the third episode it got better and I ended up really loving it.

Cleopatra na Onnatachi - I was reluctant for the sole reason that this was a drama about plastic surgery. It sounded weird, it looked weird and I suspected it would be quite offensive. But it wasn't, it turned out to be amazing.

Sunao ni Narenakute - 100 % melodrama, which is the worst genre in existence. And nobody even recommended it to me! I randomly chose to watch it with absolutely no expectations. And I loved it.

I think there were a couple of k-dramas suggested by some friends that I have some doubts in it at first. One of them is the Moon Embracing the Sun. I'm not a huge fan of watching Historical dramas. Never liked it. This one is a total masterpiece! :) So many emotions..I cried, I laugh, I smile, I got angry, etc. I really loved it and may consider watching more historical romance k-dramas later.

Secret Garden. TBH it took me a few try's to watch the first episode, but after that it was just hilarious and I loved it.

To the beautiful you - I thought I would dislike it cause I've never liked a gender bender drama before it and I thought the reason she dressed as a guy was very creepy. But the characters made up for all that and I found myself enjoying it more then I thought I would.

Falling for Innocence. 
The heart transplant of deseased lover making them fall in love made me cringe.
I hate it when they fall in love with someone only because they remind them of their ex.
But it was a lot different then I expected. it wasn't ven makjangish but instead a nice rom-com with some serious scenes that 
weren't too much but instead made it more interesting. But still so much romance and comedy :D

This happens to me all the time with Jdramas. Like Real Clothes, I thought it was gonna be very cheesy but I ended up loving it!

Love Shuffle: I'm not a huge j-drama fan so I was kind of scared to start watching it but it's been great so far.
Seonam Girls High School Investigators: I didn't think I would enjoy a high school-centered drama but it was interesting.

hahah I really thought I would hate It's Okay, That's Love, which ended up being my favorite korean drama. I also thought Dream High would be one of those, but it was another one I came to love.
