I’m starting to really love action. Like Vincenzo doesn’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 don’t like, it’s more a question of whether it’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 it’s time to say goodbye and cut our losses.

And sorry but I don’t identify with the appellative “chick”. I’m a woman, a lady, a person, whatever you want, but not a “chick”, if you don’t mind.

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

The main reason I’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 can’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 she’s a rich girl, cop, princess etc… She’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 I’m choosy chic with dramas

I am very picky when it comes to dramas/movies if they don’t get my attention on the first episode,. I will drop them no if’s about it and I won’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 doesn’t always work well. I have seen improvements made and that’s a relief bc I really love that drama.
‘‘The Candle in the Tomb’’ 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 ‘‘crack up’’ instead of feeling sorry about the scene lol.

I’m terribly picky with my dramas! I don’t care if they are super popular and airing at the moment, if the premise of the show doesn’t interest me or if I’m not ‘feeling’ like watching that genre, then I won’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 haven’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. I’d say that I tend to lean towards melodramas, but I haven’t watched a Kdrama or Jdrama for a while now.

As for my preferences in regards to the country of origin, I don’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.

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

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

Goodness… I’m being a really dark cloud, aren’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 drama’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 can’t take it!

I just started a MyDramaList and these are my paused - I didn’t even realize how bad I am.!
