My Not Worth the Hype Picks

One word : unbearable with barely any potential 

This has been hyped up as the drama that broughtback modern soap opera vibes . It also enjoys a good international following and I wonder why . It’s so loud as everyone is speaking at the tops of their voices . It’s also poorly emotionally regulated 

Visually stimulating but offers nothing new and is a lacklustre effort when it comes to its genre . Really feel like I'm not missing out on anything .

The chemistry is super non existent . Should have been recast . The comedy was ANNOYING.

This one is hailed as a must watch action pick with Lee Byung Han. His dramas are just not it for me and particularly this one 

Different strokes for different people. It was unwatchable for me for too many reasons to list 

Really wanted to like this because the story sounds so cool and it’s so hyped up  but yikes territory it was for me 

The story line had the potential to be cool but too much cheese ; the racist stereotypes were unforgivable and everything was painfully shallow and banal.

A cheap imitation of Gossip Girl with no integrity 

I like that it is a different sort of drama and the hype is well placed for that but it did come across as obnoxiously OTT and I have never made it past episode 4

Never had a moment to connect with the characters. The female lead was also insufferable and so was the set design that was too bright for its time period

The world building was just so determinedly without nuance - TORPID . 

Soooo hyped up but I just could not make it past ep 3 . Its a bit sterile 

The premise was illogical and made people look unnecessarily stupid for too long . Deft writing could have remedied all of that but no.    

Another hyped up action drama in dramaland .Sigh.I almost liked this one . Loved the first 5 eps and even binge watched but then the plot threw away the most intriguing plot point and it just fell flat 

Hectic that this drama is even on here but alas. Just could not get into it AT ALL. There's a character called Ji An played by a pouty IU and the main male lead also has a pout. Pouts aside, there are some winning moments but it is a strong cup of tea that is just not my cup.

Somethings are just not right about this drama.

I really felt irreverent dropping this drama. I do acknowledge its mastery but it really is not emotionally grabbing and has zero x factor . I truly plodded along.

This is the highest rated TvN drama beating CLOY. Umm, Felt like 3 dramas in one and the chemistry between the leads was barely passable . This review perfectly explains https://mydramalist.com/profile/10319495/reviews/355097?r=notif&_nid=167642409#comment-17083291

There seems to be nothing wrong with it much like Nirvana in  Fire but it was one of those different strokes for different folks type of dramas

This is yet another example of different strokes for different folks.  I never resonated with this drama . I found the CGI intensely overwhelming. The main leads stone faced and annoying and the set gimmicky . All things I , unfortunately, could not look past. 

I see this drama on a lot of k drama bucket lists and it really isn't worth it. There are better saegeks with this vibe out there . Its actually watchable though 

You can definitely finish this one but it really is wearisome

Weird one because it was fun to watch but was an eternal mess at the same time .

What was the point of this drama ? So silly but oddly entertaining!

They say its "healing " they say its "perfect." I say its bewildering and shallow and uses mental illness i.e psychopathy as a crude entertainment device because they were lazy.It really was a tedious watch.

There goes Song Joong Ki delivering yet another unnuanced portrayal.  Sigh.Also , the drama just never quite found its stride and failed to resonate . The Chairman though is BRILLIANT
