I wouldnā€™t say Iā€™m very picky. As long as thereā€™s no toilet humor, Iā€™m good. Sadly, you donā€™t always know that in advance, though.

I may have some countries and genres which I favor, but basically I watch almost anything.

Iā€™m starting to really love action. Like Vincenzo doesnā€™t have much romance but I LOVE IT> I need to watch the K2 and others with action, mystery etc. I think I need romance reprieve.

Although there are some genres I like and some I donā€™t like, itā€™s more a question of whether itā€™s well-made or not.
Why am I picky? Because my life is precious. Would I spend 16 precious hours of my life, that nobody can give back to me, to watch some idiotic drama? Hell no. I have better things to do, and there are dozens of better dramas waiting for me, so why would I?
Yes, it sometimes happens that we think a drama would be good but we are disappointed. Then itā€™s time to say goodbye and cut our losses.

And sorry but I donā€™t identify with the appellative ā€œchickā€. Iā€™m a woman, a lady, a person, whatever you want, but not a ā€œchickā€, if you donā€™t mind.

You already know me and know I am a choosy chick Thank you for the compliment, since Iā€™m no spring chicken lol

The main reason Iā€™m choosy with dramas bc I advocate for women and K dramas portrayal of women in dramas are so poorly done. I think there is so much injustices I can see in a drama against women that I just canā€™t watch no matter how much I like the actress. They make them look like dumb/no brains while guys are the big shot CEO and I had enough of that. That is why I admire Suzy Bae she gets into roles where sheā€™s a rich girl, cop, princess etcā€¦ Sheā€™s the best in respecting her image and being a good role model to other young actress although many take whatever comes their way.

Found this from 2017. Evidence Iā€™m choosy chic with dramas

I am very picky when it comes to dramas/movies if they donā€™t get my attention on the first episode,. I will drop them no ifā€™s about it and I wonā€™t bother to do any work on them either. The 2 dramas in 2017 that so far has kept me watching are: DEFENDANT with Ji Sung. The story is different from other courtroom stories (just like I hear your voice) so is worth watching . But, I am waiting for it to have a few more episodes subbed bc sometimes in (English and Spanish subtitles) some things are a little off. I blame the fact that they are rushing to do the subtitles really fast and that doesnā€™t always work well. I have seen improvements made and thatā€™s a relief bc I really love that drama.
ā€˜ā€˜The Candle in the Tombā€™ā€™ Chinese drama that had me jumping on my seat from the first episode and I really love the Indiana Jones feel to it. Some parts are funny and I have to ā€˜ā€˜crack upā€™ā€™ instead of feeling sorry about the scene lol.

Iā€™m terribly picky with my dramas! I donā€™t care if they are super popular and airing at the moment, if the premise of the show doesnā€™t interest me or if Iā€™m not ā€˜feelingā€™ like watching that genre, then I wonā€™t watch. I refuse to watch crime dramas, horror dramas, and law dramas from any country. I get scared :sweat_smile:. Generally, I dislike rom-coms, and I havenā€™t sat down to watch a historical drama in a while because palace politics just wear me out. I also avoid high-school or middle school dramas for a variety of reasons. Iā€™d say that I tend to lean towards melodramas, but I havenā€™t watched a Kdrama or Jdrama for a while now.

As for my preferences in regards to the country of origin, I donā€™t really mind which country the drama comes from, but it all depends on what style I want to watch at the moment. Kdramas have a different feel to them than Cdramas, and both are different from Jdramas. In general, I prefer Kdramas and Cdramas over Jdramas, but Japanese anime can be very rewarding to watch, so I prefer J-anime over J-drama. All of these are different than Thai lakorns, which are a category all on their own.

Iā€™m also incredibly picky about what to watch because I really hate finishing a drama and just staring at the screen and wondering ā€œCan I PLEASE get a refund on the hours I spent for THIS?ā€ I donā€™t like dropping dramas when it gets boring so I try to make sure itā€™s worth investing time in. I check review after review, make SURE thereā€™s a happy ending and analyse it the best I can before diving in.
However, I think Iā€™ve become a little less choosy these past months because NOTHING seems to be catching my eye or promising me a solid good time. Iā€™ve wasted my time on cheesy Chinese dramas, but Iā€™m not really complainingā€¦

I think Iā€™m just waiting for my favorite older actors to make comebacks. K-dramas seem to have lost something and Iā€™m really sad about it :sob: Itā€™s the feeling I had when I left the world of books behind.

Goodnessā€¦ Iā€™m being a really dark cloud, arenā€™t I? :sweat_smile: Sorry for that!

Doom at Your Service is the 1st drama lately that has made me like CRAZY for it! Like Crazy to watch it! so I understand. I love Mr. Queen, I love several that I have started and paused - But DOOM just has grabbed me and Makes me want more. Vincenzo did that also but that is SO DARK

PS One thing I realize is that I love the dramaā€™s I have paused I love the actors but when the sad part comes or the overly political part comes I sometimes have to take a break - my heart canā€™t take it!

I just started a MyDramaList and these are my paused - I didnā€™t even realize how bad I am.!
