Korean dramas you would advise others not to watch

As loathe as I am to admit, I find myself agreeing with DiaNine. It's never a good idea to tell complete strangers what they should stay away from. As with Lie To Me, it had such horrible reviews I decided not to bother with it. Caught a few minutes of it and decided to watch it, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. That being said, the beauty of MDL is that users rank the dramas they watch, so it's a little easier to figure out what a user may like based on what they have rated in the past. It's not an exact science, but does make it a bit easier to offer up recommendations both for and against to someone you do not know. Looking at Hedwig3's list, I would feel completely comfortable in telling her (him?) to avoid Color of Woman, Little Girl K and 7th Grade Civil Servant, the three lowest ranked dramas on my list.

Panda and Hedgehog. Ugh, so bad.

Big, Nail Shop Paris, Goong S, To The Beautiful You, Lie to Me

I don't ever do that because everyone has their own opinions on what they like. =\ I am like some others. I tend to look at peoples' lists...see what they have as their top dramas... and if I like what I see, MAYBE try out another highly rated drama of theirs. But really, I'm just looking for people who have the same taste.

If I were to not watch what people tell me to, I wouldn't have watched 1 of my top 3 favorite dramas, 7th Grade Civil Servant and many other dramas that I really liked (such as Big and Protect the Boss).

On the other hand, 2 dramas that everyone seems to love, Reply 1997 and You're Beautiful, I have found those completely overrated and nowhere nearly as good as most of the dramas I have watched.

At first I was going to say a few drama names but when I read this comment I'have decided not to say. I agree with you because pleasures may not be same. For example, Reply 1997 nd You are Beautiful are two of my favorite Kdramas. Ok, You are Beautiful is not my fav but I like it anyway.

Still I think that suggestions are good. But if we say a few drama names that we like, it might be helpful. If we love the dramas that the other person's choices we may prefer not to watch she/he does not advice too.

I've actually been lucky that there have only been a few dramas that I really couldn't stand. The only drama I would truly recommend taking with a grain of salt is You're Beautiful - I don't think this drama is unwatchable, though. I personally took fault with the Park Shin Hye's hollow character and lack of development, but I understand that characters like her are created by writers as a "placeholder" for the target demographic (young girls) similar to Bella in Twilight. The drama is more about the eye candy surrounding the main female lead, and not centered around character development (nonexistent). I would just suggest not watching this if, like me, you generally watch dramas in pursuit of a great love story. You will not find one.

some of the dramas i like some people seem to hate so i can't really comment on this one... try it first and if it works it works, if not then it doesn't.
