Dramas and movies I hated/disliked
THIS LIST MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS.
The title tells it all :D I have written why I have disliked these dramas on the text boxes next to them. Right now these are sort of in a chronological order of when I've watched them.
(With some of these dramas I have clearly been too generous when it comes to ratings because my standards have changed over the years, but I can't be bothered to change them all at once because then they'll show on my profile as if I've only just now finished them.)

1. Playful Kiss
Korean Drama - 2010, 16 episodes
Playful Kiss: I hated that the female lead was like a stalker who got obsessed and only went after the male lead because of his looks. I hated the male lead because from the beginning to the very end he was really cold towards the female lead. The "relationship" was not functional at all, I didn't see any love from the male lead. The whole thing was so frustrating to watch.

2. Cheese in the Trap
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
Cheese In The Trap : Like in Playful Kiss, I simply hated the male lead, he was so cold and unapproachable. He and the female lead had no chemistry and they did not seem like believable couple at all. And not to be mean but the male lead actor was waaay too old to play a student. If you're 30+ years old and look your age, you should not be casted as a student. The second male lead was the only thing carrying this drama but it just wasn't enough to keep it afloat.

3. Black
Korean Drama - 2017, 18 episodes
Black: This drama had such huge potential, but the plot was a hot mess. I also don't really like the female lead Go Ara, I don't think she's a very good actress. Anyway, the plot was interesting at first, but soon there were like 10 plotlines going on all at once, and literally all of them got closure only at the very end. It was so confusing to watch and the end wasn't very satisfactory.

4. Missing You
Korean Drama - 2012, 21 episodes
Missing You / I Miss You: This drama is the reason why I often refuse to watch melodramas. The plot was really weird and someone was crying literally every two minutes. It got really annoying to watch.

5. Mr. Bodyguard
Chinese Drama - 2015, 24 episodes
Mr. Bodyguard (China): I can't even remember this drama that well, that perhaps tells you something. All I remember is that the story was ridiculous and the acting wasn't that good.

6. Prince's Prince
Korean Drama - 2015, 10 episodes
Prince's Prince : This drama was nothing but queerbaiting with a bad plot. I was really disappointed.

7. Reply 1994
Korean Drama - 2013, 21 episodes
Reply 1994: The absolute worst one in the reply series in my opinion. I didn't like the female lead (wow, I hate Go Ara's character again?) I hated how it turned out, I hated the guy she ended up with because they lacked romantic chemistry and for them to be a couple didn't make any sense, to me it was almost gross. They also teased way too much with the "who will be the female lead's husband" thing, it was really annoying and I found it very hard to enjoy the series because of it. There was also some very obvious queerbaiting that didn't result to anything, and in the end they forced a straight relationship on the guy. So to me, Reply 1988 will always be the superior one out of the series, followed by Reply 1997

8. Well-Intended Love
Chinese Drama - 2019, 20 episodes
Well Intended Love (China): Absolute garbage. The male lead was a gaslighting abuser, I dropped the drama immediately after his true nature/intentions were revealed. I will not support a drama that tries to glorify abuse/sweep it under the rug like the ML did nothing wrong.

9. Love Love You
Thai Movie - 2015
Love Love You aka Love's Coming 2 (Thai BL movie): I absolutely adored Love's Coming because it was so sweet, so when I found out about this sequel, I was excited. Unfortunately it all went downhill the moment they replaced Gump's original actor with some random pretty boy and created some completely unnecessary drama out of nowhere. The whole plot was absolutely ridiculous and it became really frustrating to watch, I could barely finish it.

10. Mr. Queen
Korean Drama - 2020, 20 episodes
Mr. Queen: I went into it with quite high expectations since everyone seemed to love it, and boy was I disappointed. At first I watched two (out of the twenty) episodes and was almost ready to drop it immediately. Shin Hye Sun's acting was so brilliant in it though that I decided to give the drama the benefit of the doubt. I probably shouldn't have. The plot was boring me out of my mind over halfway through, literally like 12-13 episodes, it wasn't until the end half that things started to get even mildly interesting (and I finally started to understand the complicated palace drama and the relationships between all the characters). Shin Hye Sun must have some severe backpain from carrying this entire production on her back.. She was absolutely amazing and if it wasn't for her (and my severe Never Drop Disease) I probably would have dropped the whole drama before, like, the 5th episode.

11. Koi wa Tsuzuku yo Doko Made mo
Japanese Drama - 2020, 10 episodes
Koi wa Tsuzuku yo Doko Made mo (aka An Incurable Case Of Love: The FL was so childish and immature it was annoying. The ML was very cold and indifferent from the beginning to the end. There was 0 chemistry or character development, and the characters had too big of a difference in maturity for the relationship to have made any sense. The ML was also verbally abusive and basically a workplace bully to the FL which was not cool.
