Sad ending/open ending/ time jumps separation * spoiler *
Shows to avoid if you hate these troupes.
TIME JUMPS K-dramas use the time jump in almost every show, and it just doesn't ring true that when you've been desperate to win the love of your life that you disappear for months/years at a time to "resolve"
things and then just show up out of the blue without
having contact with your significant other. In this
age of cell phones, texting, social media and
FaceTime, this is definitely an overused annoying ploy.
Drama is nice but If you can’t handle sad endings or open endings.
please mention those dramas if you know any.. so that I can avoid those.. really hate this endings
