  • Begin Again

    1. Begin Again

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 35 episodes

    9.0

    Dropped at: 31/35

    Way to go ruining a perfectly endearing story... Not sure why I even watched so long after the time skip... Maybe because it was my 2nd drama ever. 

    • Might finish it later for a challenge and to have completed those final 4 eps ?
  • Dance of the Sky Empire

    2. Dance of the Sky Empire

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 28 episodes

    6.5

    Dropped at: 12/28

    Wasn't what I was expecting and didn't like either of the leads (especially ML) as well as the story (painfully slow and boring). Was waiting to see that emo supporting character but it just wasn't worth it. 

    • Will not pick up again. Might skim it later for those scenes
  • My Heroic Husband

    3. My Heroic Husband

    Chinese Drama - 2021, 36 episodes

    7.0

    Dropped at: 20/36

    Wasn't what I was expecting and though very funny, it was very male-gaze fanservicy and I wasn't feeling it. 

    • Might go back to it if I'm ever craving comedy
  • Dark Hole

    4. Dark Hole

    Korean Drama - 2021, 12 episodes

    Dropped at: 3/12

    The only saving grace of this drama was the deadbeat cop FL. Everything else was so painfully boring I dreaded having to watch it despite co-watching with a friend.

    • Will not pick up again
  • The Legendary Life of Queen Lau

    5. The Legendary Life of Queen Lau

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 36 episodes

    7.5

    Dropped at: 15/36

     Unrealistically and needlessly mean ML (+ I can't stand the actor and his perpetual migraine face, I feel so bad for him) + grating SFL (who's actress I cannot stand either)

    Was debating dropping this one for a while but I finally did. ML is unreasonably mean towards FL (who is his wife and queen far away from her home and all alone) and doesn't make a great deal of progress throughout the drama. The comedy is funny but not worth watching an unbearably stupid, arrogant, and misogynistic ML.

    • Will not pick up again
  • Beauty of Tang Men

    6. Beauty of Tang Men

    Chinese Movie - 2021

    Dropped at: 46:45

    Sexist. Perv ML, stupid FL despite being a leader of an important sect--
