I’m sorry did anyone actually think Chicken Nugget would be an Oscar worthy drama after we all saw the trailer? 😭😭 I haven’t watched it but my expectations were always “it’s going to be one of those ridiculously over the top shows that you just have to turn your brain off to enjoy” Anyways I clicked on this thinking Yoo Ah In was back in dramas again. 😭
Agreed, I knew going into it, it would be a weird one. And that is exactly what it was. Little 30 minute episodes of weirdness. That in the end I actually did not regret watching.
Queen of tears's scriptwriting is so damn messy and predictable af, instead of chosing the "how miscarriage could affect the mother's psychologically and her marriage " route, they chose the mediocore "terminally ill" route to rekindle their romance again. It makes the male protagonist's love seemed insincere to begin with. The only thing that keep the audiences going is Kim Jiwon's acting, her chemistry with the male lead and Hong Hae In's fashion choice (also her walk)
Queen of Tears was pretty good, until the last 3 episodes, then it just became a mess, and it felt like they changed directors or something, with the way the tone of those last episodes changed. Plus it felt like they were trying to add every single scene shot, into the final episode, When much of it should have been left on the cutting room floor.
i was tinking the same.. the miscarriage psychological impact route shoulve been taken over that mediocre terminal illness thing. what’s more disappointing is how in the fr world did she look so good after surgery?😂 the character development was rushed to the point where he is suddenly the caring husband.. 😂
@@egougwu1123 I believe that was supposed to be her persona in this drama, as it helped her shield herself from the hurt and pain she got from her family ever since her older brother died when she was young, and everyone blamed her.
I’m not even watching queen of tears cause I can’t stand the cast or plot. Park jiwon is rly pretty but that’s not enough to make me watch it and I hate the male lead
Unpopular opinion ig …but Queen of tears wasn’t that good either …sure the chemistry between the actors was really nice and I LOVED the cast but the story was not really nice and seemed SOOOOO dragged omg …like just end it already 🙄
Besides that, it was so similar to other romance kdrama that it didn't have anything new to offer and all kdrama cliché was repited, honestly 2024 kdramas wasn't any thing special
@@Kookliet_and_jimeo sooo true I have been disappointed by everything I have been watching these days …but latest I watched Exhuma and lovely runner so they have revived me 🙏
The only thing wrong with The Impossible Heir was the lead actress. She was so dull which made the story line boring from the beginning. From episode 6 it was a whole lot better though shame this hype wasn't from the beginning too
It’s not cuz you’re old We are all in the same boat , it’s hard to find a good plot with nice production and acting Sometimes the plot is good and everything else is uhh , and vise verse
Same, Idk if I got pickier with time but more often than not I find the romance in kdramas kinda forced or cringe, sometimes the main couple has no chemistry whatsoever but both actors are gorgeous so the public loves them, I just wish the producers could accompany their stunning looks with good acting and an interesting script.
This year The Atypical Family is going great so far. It feels fresh and even the chemistry is good. Cast is great with Jang Ki Young, Chu Won Hee, Ga Doo Shim and Claudia Kim. Child actors are also great. Give it a try. As for a funny and cheerful drama, Lovely Runner is good. It has got visuals and story is also okay. I did not like Doctor Slump, QOT & Impossible heir from this year.
You can try dramas like the good bad mother , it's okay not to be okay and twinkling watermelon. The acting is top notch and they have a great storyline
this year's best drama so far are 1.queen of tears 2.marry my husband 3.flex x cop 4.lovely runner edit: this numbering is not based on popularity, i just wrote them systematically
@@Gattberserk it only got extended because of the fiance's arrival, and many of the viewers were basing the story and plot from the manhwa and not the original source which is the light novel one part many hates was when Ji Won easily doubted Ji Hyuk despite himself showing his disinterest towards his fiance
My thoughts exactly. I’m surprised KYJ agreed to this one. A terrible follow up to My Demon. I wonder if she did this as favor to someone or if she’s hurting for cash. Hopefully, this show isn’t a career killer because she’s a great actress.
@dougeeemcfly1 exactly you go from My demon to chicken nuggets... I suspect it's for money since she supports her whole family because the story line is stupid.
Parasyte: The Grey was very successful globally. By the end of its second week the series was in top 10 in 84 countries and at number one in 34 countries. Netflix publicly declared the series a success.
i liked chicken nugget. it was obviously supposed to be nonsensical and unserious, and it was a fun and relaxed watch. even with all of this, i stilled bawled my eyes out in episode 8 lol
Throughout history we have or should have learned that you just can not please everyone. Many loved these dramas many didn't WHO CARES! ITS OUR CHOICE TO LIKE WHAT WE LIKE / DISLIKE RIGHT
Captivating the King - Another "historic" drama with nothing new. Same poisonings. Same minister machinations. Same dumb oblivious protagonists. Same omnipotent bad guys. Same convenient random encounters. Same misunderstandings. Same, same, same. Not sure why it is rated so high on IMDB. It was like I was watching a rerun.
And let's not forget the absolutely terrible acting of the FL and the fact that we were expected to believe she was a woman passing as a man, although she wore lip gloss and full make up!
But I think Queen of Tears is more hyped than this deserve. I mean main lead stopped loving her and even was happy that she will die and he will get property but then he became a loving husband? The chemistry is good. The actors acted well but storyline is rather poor
When will people learn that not liking something does NOT make it badly written or just bad in general? Not every show is made for you, the writers don't write this just so you will like it. What annoys me about people whining about Chicken Nugget, they already whine and whine and whine about kdrama not being creative anymore, then something breaks the mold and they still whine. No wonder most companies don't want to take creative risks anymore and just stick to boring romance tropes from the last decade.
Goodbye Eart. I was lost from the start and wasn't able to make myself keep watching it. Felt like I was trying to keep up with a story where half the pages were missing. Really bad.
I so agree with you. It was unwatchable. Too many characters and no real progression. I am still struggling to finish it but it's easily the worst K-drama I've seen.
I actually liked Goodbye Earth, because unlike many survival/apocalyptic shows(including western), that usually focus on this "special group of people" who are trying to save the Earth which most of the time is not realistic at all... in this drama it follows more on how more ordinary people would want to spend/try to survive the last days on earth... However I understand the backlash about being too confusing because I also felt that following the plots/stories was a bit chaotic and moody so I get it that it wasn't going to be everyone's cup of tea
I loved it and being a Yo Ah In fan, I wanted to hate it. I planned on not watching it but curiosity got the best of me. I was bawling and crying by the end. I think it would have been even better if they hadn’t chopped his parts down.
@@theresaalison1621i personally think it was not the acting it's just the story in itself ! It's only the first 2 ep but it feels like 5th, it's just feels too long, like it's dragging. I thouth the plot was the apocalypse but we do not see it, the countdown was a great idea but again too long. It's the apocalypse is the sub plot and the "fight the criminal" THE plot. ??? What is that ? It's not illogical that there's a rise in criminality when it's doomed either way but generally it's after a catastrophe that it's here as a form of "i'm the leader of the survivor, i decide of the distribution of necessities" etc but we have all of this before and it's kind of (again) dragging the story ! Idk what's going on in the drama as I stopped watching it after the 2nd ep I think, but that's where i got bored and disappointed :(... What are your thought?
@@lyyndaaaaaa Totally agree. You mentioned several times how laborious it was to watch. Exactly! Yes, I want to be invested in the characters and story, but that is not possible when the plot is all over the place.
I agree. It wasn't the best drama in the world, but it had its own quirks and decent. Way surperior to the Impossible Heir that was running at the same time.
Unpopular opinion: Queen of tears was mediocre at best. There was no chemistry between the leads. Some people will come for my throat because they wanna believe so badly that there is something going on between the leads. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I will just let people be delulu!
Thank you, I thought the same thing about that series. I was sad I wasted that much time watching it. At most I gave it a 4.5 outta 10. The hype is too hyped, there's nothing interesting about it, whatsoever.
Oh thank you I've had bad comments because I have said the same, but like you I don't really care it wasn't worth the hype, all this promotion before and after is outrageous but I suppose their way of getting there money back FL was so stiff throughout, someone off the street would have played the part better.
The thing is they are both good actors and they portrait the chemistry well but off screen there was awkwardness between them which wasn't there with their other co-stars.
I agree. And the female lead in Queen of tears was so lame, shallow... I really couldn't see that love or chemistry between the main couple. All other actors were much better than the female lead, though.
My favourite drama this year is definitely Lovely runner. The chemistry between the main leads was so good,the plot twists and unpredictable story line made it more interesting to watch.(and not to mention kim Hye-yoon and Byeon Woo-seok's acting was great too.)
the story was bad (too cliche). however the production was top notch. tthe cast, he visuals, the cinematography, THE OST!!!! they were the reasons i stayed. if it had a pplot that wasn't soo all over the place QoT would\ve been the best drama ever
@@Andrea-jg1df Celebrity was okay okay as for FL and story. But the ML was good. Maybe because I've liked his acting since The Heirs. Overall I liked the drama.
‘The Impossible Heir’ and ‘Wedding Impossible’ should not be on this list. The story of Impossible Heir was great, but the role itself or bad acting of the female lead was disappointing.
Yeah wedding impossible was good. It was just a simple story. Chemistry was good too. It did not create much drama which made people who love dramatic things disappointed. As for Impossible heir, I did not like the FL and even the story made no sense to me. Although I loved the male leads and second female lead.
Very unpopular opinion: couldn’t move past 3rd episode of Queen of Tears. I seriously don’t understand the hype around it. It was actually unwatchable & unnecessarily stressful.
A bit disappointed in your description of the young Gay guy he played a great part and to call someone queer is no longer acceptable in today's society
I was so disappointed in chicken nugget got bored in first 10 seconds. 😢 Will go back one day. The best 2024 kdrama "Killer parodox" has been my comfort show ever since 😊
I think that The Gray dont deserve to be here. It was very nice experiment with exploring anime world and make a new story. Queen of tears was nice but definitely cliche, predictible and also chaotic at some points. Cast and their acting save the show and not just main characters but also cameos. It could end up as trash just as Impossible heir.
I think I'd have enjoyed chicken nugget if I was 8-10, the plot is good for that age group. Because adult me, really thought the plot was nonsense but the ending was a bit emotional tho.
I have high expectations from Wedding Impossible but on coming on last few episodes I felt really disappointed. I only complete the drama because of special cemo otherwise it was so painful to watch . I love the Na ah jeong and Lee Ji han couple but they make their love story plot so unhinged. I thought that I would also see the friendship of Ah jeong and do Hawn but they make plot so bad like mean they portray that we don't care if someone is hurting we would just care about our love. In that drama Do Hawn clearly needs help but he was all left alone. Nobody was in his side neither brother nor his best friend. I thought I would see the deep friendship between them but left disappointed. It could be very good drama it had alot of potential
honestly na ah jeong kept her friendship with dohan well, she didnt reveal his secret even to the person she loved she didnt herself tell him that their marriage was fake. Mind you it was dohan who felt like for the good of the people around him he should tell about his marriage to everyone, he was hurting the people who cared about him and lets be honest it was selfish of him to marry na ah jeong to hide his secret. Also jihan was a great brother he cared about his brother very much so much that he was doing everything he could to let his brother have the company(though he didnt want it yeah but anyway) but dohan always pushed him away and left him alone.. so saying that no one was with dohan was wrong lee jihan even got angry at dohans ex and their stepsiblings when they were threatening to let dohans secret. The drama was great tbh shouldve received more recognition
@@angelichae she didn't keep her friendship well with dohan. Yes she keep the secret but she agreed to marry dohan cuz she has her own grudge. She agreed to it in instant without thinking will be outcome. The fact Dohan ask Ah jeong help and she only know his secret that means their friendship was more deep than just keeping secrets. If you are going through something you need your close one help. Yes maybe they can't fully help that you have do it yourself but you need someone by your side. And those someone should be by your side if if person push them away. And about Ji han yes he got angry at his ex and take blame on him but that's all. I didn't see any plot of their relationship ship progressing. His plot from wanting to owning the company jump be with Ah jeong. This drama could be so much better if so good plot of their friendship and dohan and jihan relationship. This drama was nothing just typical drama but just the difference was no plot makes any sense
@@ladyyoonjin i think it potrayed real life, she didnt realise but the marriage was going to do no good to her and though yes she was a friend but i think there are some boundaries you need to respect, she even helped him in their school days bro i dont think its right to blame, na ah jeomg couldve done more but didnt dohan felt way better after coming out anyway? he just wanted to proceed with the marriage to hide it from his grandfather but he already knew. Lastly idk how many more sacrifices you wanted from the leads for dohan. Dohan pushed his brother and called me a burdern when he already felt so bad thinking he was the reason his mom was killed but dohan made him felt lonely at times shouldnt we have expected something from him too?
The impossible heir was really promising in the first episodes and I was actually really invested in it but as soon as Ana HyeWon appeared i lost all my interest,every time she appeared in the screen I would get annoyed.I been wanting to start watching it again but as soon as she appeared I turn it off again.
Parasyte the Grey was a good drama. There's a reason why it wasn't like the original Manga, it's because it's not the original Parasyte it's a spin off called Parasyte the Grey
Chicken Nugget: You need to embrace the "craziness" and just go along with the ride. I think the show was okay up until the last few episodes when things getting a bit "too crazy" LOL. The Parasyte was great. I wish the main character and her Parasyte can actually talk to each other like how they did it in the anime/manga, the ending was great, and the tease for season 2 was awesome! And finally Goodbye Earth: I haven't finished it yet, but so far the story feels a bit all over the place, so it's really hard for the viewers to care about the main characters.
While admittedly Goodbye Earth was a bit hard to follow, I found it the most memorable show so far this year. Focusing on the emotions and choices the characters had to make while facing impending doom, in my opinion, was what made the drama compelling. I don't understand why any of Yoo Ahn In's parts were edited because he appeared in many scenes and his presence was felt. The portrayals of the characters, including the children were incredibly heartfelt.
Loved Queen of Tears. Also loving Lovely Runner, Frankly speaking and Atypical Family. All good stuff. Parasyte the gray was also really good. K-dramas are nice because even those that aren't that good are still better than anything in the west. They don't depend on woke checklists to make their shows - instead focusing on things like story telling, narrative building, acting and directing, etc. And the actors don't spend all of their public time acting like they are smarter than everyone else and lecturing their fans on how terrible and stupid they are. Kind of a nice change from US actors.
You are one of thousand who think QOT was not worth watching but given so much hype to try and cover up the bad acting and storyline I don't know why KSH wanted to play the ML it made him out to be very weak, certainly not his best ML
Lee Junyoung deserves better, he is one of the best actors of this new generation, doesn't get enough attention, completely underrated for his level and on top of that they give him crap projects ..
The biggest disappointment for me so far was Doctor Slump. I ended up finishing it but honestly wish i would have spent my time watching something else 😅
The Impossible Heir started off all over the place but got so much better after episode 6. I really enjoyed it :). Also enjoyed Parasyte the Grey and Chicken Nugget definitely wasn’t the worst show I’ve ever watched. My favourite show so far this year is Flex X Cop
For me Parasite: The Grey is really good, kinda remind me of "The Invasion" and the classic "Invasion of the Body Snatchers". But Moving, My Demon, and Vigilante are worth watching. "All of Us Are Dead" season 2 can't wait.
Queen of tears had all the potential to be a kdrama with a refreshing tropes. But it reverted to it's roots and gave us the most predictable thing ever. Not what i wanted from a show about a married couple "fighting" their way between love and hate amidst an impending death. I don't mind the family drama but it soon became disappointing. Did we really have to throw in every single cliche known to man in there. It's clear people can't handle actual villains in how they treated park sunghoon for his character in this show, because he was an irredeemable btch in glory and i loved every second of it.
Wedding inpossible was not bad as the series you listed out. If ilogical series and bad story has to be considered, then Quenn of Tears also should be included in this. QoT was saved only an donlh due to KSH, nothing else. If anyother actor had done that, that would be a flop cliched drama.
Whenever a drama becomes successful people try to label it as overhyped and call it bad just to be different. Queen of tears was such a great drama and that's why it was so successful. If it wasn't that successful; people here would have made comments like "Queen of tears is so underrated gem, people need to watch it😭"
I loved The Impossible Heir! True she wasn’t all that amazing, but not bad enough to ruin the show for me. The plot was different, keeping me interested.
Actually it would've been much better if she wasn't involved at all. Just a side character instead of a plot of love triangle. Writers need to stop with love triangle plot. Nobody likes it.
A Shop for Killers is the best drama of 2024, in my opinion.
I loved it can't wait for season 2
I AGREE SO MUCH I LOVED IT !!
A Shop for Killers and Deaths Game, I loved this

@dougeeemcfly1 exactly you go from My demon to chicken nuggets... I suspect it's for money since she supports her whole family because the story line is stupid.
I thoroughly enjoyed Wedding Impossibe, and felt that the acting, production values and story line, were top notch. One of my favorites of 2024.
I had to stop watching Wedding Impossible. couldn't stand the script ugh
The Impossible heir, I found this show very boring. I wouldn't watch it after the 5th episode.
actually after the 5th episode it get's alot better
I found it boring from ep 2 😂😂
Agreed I stopped after three couldn’t get into it at all
good to know. ty

Loved Chicken Nugget for it glorious goofyness and sweet natured love story, and odd twists of plot.
I know, right? We knew it was supposed to be ridiculous from the title alone; we got ridiculous and were happy.
Its even more ridiculous that people were watching a story about a girl becoming a chicken nugget and yet wanted to take it seriously. 🤗
You guys should watch "The atypical family"very different from these cliche dramas,would recommend 10/10🤠
I advise to wait till Jun 9 cause I'm desperately waiting for next episodes.
The cliffhanger is too much to handle.
Agreed, It has a weird vibe and flow to it, but I am really enjoying it, and the little girl actress has been a pleasant surprise. She is so good.

But I think Queen of Tears is more hyped than this deserve. I mean main lead stopped loving her and even was happy that she will die and he will get property but then he became a loving husband? The chemistry is good. The actors acted well but storyline is rather poor
Also it seemed that The Impossible Hier has low budget because some interior items was cheap. But I’ve watched it till the end.
From episode 6 it got a whole lot better it’s just sad there wasn’t a good storyline from episode 1-5

I thouth the plot was the apocalypse but we do not see it, the countdown was a great idea but again too long. It's the apocalypse is the sub plot and the "fight the criminal" THE plot.
??? What is that ? It's not illogical that there's a rise in criminality when it's doomed either way but generally it's after a catastrophe that it's here as a form of "i'm the leader of the survivor, i decide of the distribution of necessities" etc but we have all of this before and it's kind of (again) dragging the story !
Idk what's going on in the drama as I stopped watching it after the 2nd ep I think, but that's where i got bored and disappointed :(...
What are your thought?
IT WAS AWFUL! SKIPPED TO LAST TWO EPISODES STILL COULD NOT STOMACH IT.
@@lyyndaaaaaa Totally agree. You mentioned several times how laborious it was to watch. Exactly! Yes, I want to be invested in the characters and story, but that is not possible when the plot is all over the place.
@@Darapsa Yes, it's all over the place with the time skip going back and forth too !
Queen of tears is so boring. I can’t make myself keep watching it. I am on episode 6 but keep falling asleep 😴
I would have watched Goodbye Earth if Yoo Ah In was kept in it.
wasn't he?
@@VictorineUnabia It says in the video that they cut him out as much as they could.
The wedding impossible shouldn't be on this list
The Wedding impossible like bollywood this Why You liked lol..😂😂
I agree. It wasn't the best drama in the world, but it had its own quirks and decent. Way surperior to the Impossible Heir that was running at the same time.
@@shinchanfan3681 i dont like bollywood, why assuming ? i dont watch bollywood movies . not even as a child .
@@ttsiaras same feeling.
I actually liked wedding impossible alot.
Unpopular opinion: Queen of tears was mediocre at best. There was no chemistry between the leads. Some people will come for my throat because they wanna believe so badly that there is something going on between the leads. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I will just let people be delulu!
Thank you, I thought the same thing about that series. I was sad I wasted that much time watching it. At most I gave it a 4.5 outta 10. The hype is too hyped, there's nothing interesting about it, whatsoever.
Oh thank you I've had bad comments because I have said the same, but like you I don't really care it wasn't worth the hype, all this promotion before and after is outrageous but I suppose their way of getting there money back FL was so stiff throughout, someone off the street would have played the part better.
The thing is they are both good actors and they portrait the chemistry well but off screen there was awkwardness between them which wasn't there with their other co-stars.
I agree. And the female lead in Queen of tears was so lame, shallow... I really couldn't see that love or chemistry between the main couple. All other actors were much better than the female lead, though.
@@sylviamawson6239exactly!!!!
the story of impossible heir was good but the bad acting of the female lead wad really disappointing
My favourite drama this year is definitely Lovely runner. The chemistry between the main leads was so good,the plot twists and unpredictable story line made it more interesting to watch.(and not to mention kim Hye-yoon and Byeon Woo-seok's acting was great too.)
I really enjoyed chicken nugget
Fully agree. Yes it was over the top, but purposefully so and funny as hell. CHA Eun-woo!! (if you know, you know...)
10 year olds would like.
@@georgeacun3619 Yes probably parts of it. Also adults who retained their sense of humour and whimsy.
Watched 4 episodes of queen of tears and couldn't take it anymore, so boring. Can't understand the hype.
The main actor is a pretty boy with no personality. When I see him in kdramas I won’t watch it just can’t warm to him
Me too! I was expecting so much of it but it turned out boring as heck. Also, I tried Celebrity but gave up after 1. episode.
the story was bad (too cliche). however the production was top notch. tthe cast, he visuals, the cinematography, THE OST!!!! they were the reasons i stayed. if it had a pplot that wasn't soo all over the place QoT would\ve been the best drama ever
@@Andrea-jg1df Celebrity was okay okay as for FL and story.
But the ML was good.
Maybe because I've liked his acting since The Heirs.
Overall I liked the drama.
Same! Although I like KSH, Queen of tears is kinda boring. Many scenes are somewhat dragging. ✌️
‘The Impossible Heir’ and ‘Wedding Impossible’ should not be on this list.
The story of Impossible Heir was great, but the role itself or bad acting of the female lead was disappointing.
Wedding impossible Worst kdrama ..
Escape of the 7 season 2
True
Yeah wedding impossible was good. It was just a simple story. Chemistry was good too.
It did not create much drama which made people who love dramatic things disappointed.
As for Impossible heir, I did not like the FL and even the story made no sense to me.
Although I loved the male leads and second female lead.
Very unpopular opinion: couldn’t move past 3rd episode of Queen of Tears. I seriously don’t understand the hype around it. It was actually unwatchable & unnecessarily stressful.
don't come at me but my top 3 are My Demon, Marry My Husband, and Queen of Tears
The queer in wedding impossible didnt marry anyone, the female lead finally came to her senses and married the straight male lead
A bit disappointed in your description of the young Gay guy he played a great part and to call someone queer is no longer acceptable in today's society
He's queer, get over it. its not even a slur. @@sylviamawson6239
Best drama .
1. Pyramid game
2.Parasite
3.Flex X cops
4.Lovely Runner
5.A shop for killer
Seriously, the Saudi people got upset over this? Laughable and a bit ironic.
Not just saudi but all Arabic people are so attached with their kings .they love them to much so I understand them
At this point are we still surprised by how ridiculous some people can be ondine ?
Sounds racist to me.
Lol, here we go western people
I was so disappointed in chicken nugget got bored in first 10 seconds. 😢 Will go back one day. The best 2024 kdrama
"Killer parodox" has been my comfort show ever since 😊
Lovely runner-Best drama
Wedding impossible-Good drama
Queen of tears- overrated n supperr boring
Dr slump- avg
I think that The Gray dont deserve to be here. It was very nice experiment with exploring anime world and make a new story. Queen of tears was nice but definitely cliche, predictible and also chaotic at some points. Cast and their acting save the show and not just main characters but also cameos. It could end up as trash just as Impossible heir.
I think I'd have enjoyed chicken nugget if I was 8-10, the plot is good for that age group. Because adult me, really thought the plot was nonsense but the ending was a bit emotional tho.
Lovely Runner >>>
I have high expectations from Wedding Impossible but on coming on last few episodes I felt really disappointed. I only complete the drama because of special cemo otherwise it was so painful to watch
. I love the Na ah jeong and Lee Ji han couple but they make their love story plot so unhinged. I thought that I would also see the friendship of Ah jeong and do Hawn but they make plot so bad like mean they portray that we don't care if someone is hurting we would just care about our love. In that drama Do Hawn clearly needs help but he was all left alone. Nobody was in his side neither brother nor his best friend. I thought I would see the deep friendship between them but left disappointed. It could be very good drama it had alot of potential
honestly na ah jeong kept her friendship with dohan well, she didnt reveal his secret even to the person she loved she didnt herself tell him that their marriage was fake. Mind you it was dohan who felt like for the good of the people around him he should tell about his marriage to everyone, he was hurting the people who cared about him and lets be honest it was selfish of him to marry na ah jeong to hide his secret. Also jihan was a great brother he cared about his brother very much so much that he was doing everything he could to let his brother have the company(though he didnt want it yeah but anyway) but dohan always pushed him away and left him alone.. so saying that no one was with dohan was wrong lee jihan even got angry at dohans ex and their stepsiblings when they were threatening to let dohans secret. The drama was great tbh shouldve received more recognition
@@angelichae she didn't keep her friendship well with dohan. Yes she keep the secret but she agreed to marry dohan cuz she has her own grudge. She agreed to it in instant without thinking will be outcome. The fact Dohan ask Ah jeong help and she only know his secret that means their friendship was more deep than just keeping secrets. If you are going through something you need your close one help. Yes maybe they can't fully help that you have do it yourself but you need someone by your side. And those someone should be by your side if if person push them away. And about Ji han yes he got angry at his ex and take blame on him but that's all. I didn't see any plot of their relationship ship progressing. His plot from wanting to owning the company jump be with Ah jeong. This drama could be so much better if so good plot of their friendship and dohan and jihan relationship. This drama was nothing just typical drama but just the difference was no plot makes any sense
@@ladyyoonjin i think it potrayed real life, she didnt realise but the marriage was going to do no good to her and though yes she was a friend but i think there are some boundaries you need to respect, she even helped him in their school days bro i dont think its right to blame, na ah jeomg couldve done more but didnt dohan felt way better after coming out anyway? he just wanted to proceed with the marriage to hide it from his grandfather but he already knew. Lastly idk how many more sacrifices you wanted from the leads for dohan. Dohan pushed his brother and called me a burdern when he already felt so bad thinking he was the reason his mom was killed but dohan made him felt lonely at times shouldnt we have expected something from him too?
The impossible heir was really promising in the first episodes and I was actually really invested in it but as soon as Ana HyeWon appeared i lost all my interest,every time she appeared in the screen I would get annoyed.I been wanting to start watching it again but as soon as she appeared I turn it off again.
I'm off K Dramas. Mostly all of them are the same storyline. You watch a few and quickly realise.
I agree with the reviews on Goodbye Earth. I stopped 15 minutes into it because I couldn’t follow with the timeline and storyline
Marry My Husband.. ToP Notch...❤❤
Chicken nugget is a big joke 😂😂😂
Parasyte the Grey was a good drama. There's a reason why it wasn't like the original Manga, it's because it's not the original Parasyte it's a spin off called Parasyte the Grey
kdramas today were not as good as before early 2000s.
i disagree, there are really a few good one. Moving and Death game or Gyeonsong creature, the glory also.
@@Gattberserk it's not as authentic as before, they become commercialized
No there r so many dramas which r quite impressive..eg.mouse ( but underrated)
Lots of is good but there r too many korea drama which normal person can't follow up
Good bye earth was amazing. Period
Guess the reason is they lessen Yoo Ah In screentime, that's why there's many missing scene and stories lossing it's full potential
Chicken Nugget: You need to embrace the "craziness" and just go along with the ride. I think the show was okay up until the last few episodes when things getting a bit "too crazy" LOL. The Parasyte was great. I wish the main character and her Parasyte can actually talk to each other like how they did it in the anime/manga, the ending was great, and the tease for season 2 was awesome! And finally Goodbye Earth: I haven't finished it yet, but so far the story feels a bit all over the place, so it's really hard for the viewers to care about the main characters.
You should have added queen of tears as well, from ep 8 till ep 15 was total nonsensical
Lies 😒
It was all good from beginning to the end
@@PreciousBayeri it was not that good either it was not nonsense but felt a bit dragged
@@starlight14673 go and act urs then
Is not that easy as you think
@@PreciousBayeri queen of tears Also Not Good..
I 100% agree, it was a big disappointment and deserved to be in this list
Queen of tears has a lengthy boring and predictable story line. Not in a single scene the main lead actress was looking sick.
True but we were sick of looking at her !
@@sylviamawson6239 we were NOT
@@ring-a-lingit's bad. Deal with it. Overhype
@@JayJay-xy5ch overhype yes but no one was sick of looking at KJW.

Queen of tears is so overhyped .
Lovely runner is so damn good
I haven't watched it myself yet but wedding impossible did very well so I can't understand it being on this list.
IT was bad.
Everything is subjective, there have been popular series that I dropped and series that were panned that I enjoyed.
Lovely runner is the best drama of 2024
It is trash too for sure 😂😂
Yes ❤
The impossible heir was questionable at best for me when I had problems getting through recaps videos 😭…I wanted to like it sooooooo bad
honestly wedding impossible isnt the worst it has had his fair share of cliches but doesnt deserve to be here
While admittedly Goodbye Earth was a bit hard to follow, I found it the most memorable show so far this year. Focusing on the emotions and choices the characters had to make while facing impending doom, in my opinion, was what made the drama compelling. I don't understand why any of Yoo Ahn In's parts were edited because he appeared in many scenes and his presence was felt. The portrayals of the characters, including the children were incredibly heartfelt.
Loved Queen of Tears. Also loving Lovely Runner, Frankly speaking and Atypical Family. All good stuff. Parasyte the gray was also really good. K-dramas are nice because even those that aren't that good are still better than anything in the west. They don't depend on woke checklists to make their shows - instead focusing on things like story telling, narrative building, acting and directing, etc. And the actors don't spend all of their public time acting like they are smarter than everyone else and lecturing their fans on how terrible and stupid they are. Kind of a nice change from US actors.
Directors are trying too hard and viewers feel the superficiality..
barley could handle 1 episode of Queen of Tears, boring plot
Im the only one that didn't like the queen of tears was super boring at one point i was just passing it in contrary i enjoy parasite hope for more
You are one of thousand who think QOT was not worth watching but given so much hype to try and cover up the bad acting and storyline I don't know why KSH wanted to play the ML it made him out to be very weak, certainly not his best ML
Lee Junyoung deserves better, he is one of the best actors of this new generation, doesn't get enough attention, completely underrated for his level and on top of that they give him crap projects ..
Yeah I really can't hate him in villain roles.
He has so much potential, give him some good main roles.
He was great in Brave Citizen.
The biggest disappointment for me so far was Doctor Slump. I ended up finishing it but honestly wish i would have spent my time watching something else 😅
the atypical family seems very promising i love it
You forgot to include Escape of the Seven
You mean the second season right? But yess this is soo true..i was soo exited to watch season 2 but they completely ruined it 😫
first season was ok there wer good plot twist but bruh second season was not good
i think season 1 was very good but season 2 runied the full drama very bad
The Impossible Heir started off all over the place but got so much better after episode 6. I really enjoyed it :). Also enjoyed Parasyte the Grey and Chicken Nugget definitely wasn’t the worst show I’ve ever watched. My favourite show so far this year is Flex X Cop
The impose heir is clearly one of the worst Kdrama I've ever watched.
Parasyte was very good and enjoyable to watch tho.
For me Parasite: The Grey is really good, kinda remind me of "The Invasion" and the classic "Invasion of the Body Snatchers". But Moving, My Demon, and Vigilante are worth watching. "All of Us Are Dead" season 2 can't wait.
Chicken Nugget still okay for us☺️...We love Kim Yoojung so much. Kudos to the other actors did their job great. 🥳🥳🥳👏👏👏👏👏
I was so EXCITED for Goodbye Earth. I watched and stopped watching after episode 3.
Queen of tears had all the potential to be a kdrama with a refreshing tropes. But it reverted to it's roots and gave us the most predictable thing ever. Not what i wanted from a show about a married couple "fighting" their way between love and hate amidst an impending death. I don't mind the family drama but it soon became disappointing. Did we really have to throw in every single cliche known to man in there. It's clear people can't handle actual villains in how they treated park sunghoon for his character in this show, because he was an irredeemable btch in glory and i loved every second of it.
Wedding inpossible was not bad as the series you listed out. If ilogical series and bad story has to be considered, then Quenn of Tears also should be included in this. QoT was saved only an donlh due to KSH, nothing else. If anyother actor had done that, that would be a flop cliched drama.
no, the "useless K-drama female lead" label should go to Yoon-ah in The K2. totally pointless.
I've been watching "the atypical family" so far it has been good hope it continues to be interesting
The cliffhanger is killing me.
Whenever a drama becomes successful people try to label it as overhyped and call it bad just to be different. Queen of tears was such a great drama and that's why it was so successful. If it wasn't that successful; people here would have made comments like "Queen of tears is so underrated gem, people need to watch it😭"
I loved The Impossible Heir! True she wasn’t all that amazing, but not bad enough to ruin the show for me.
The plot was different, keeping me interested.
Actually it would've been much better if she wasn't involved at all. Just a side character instead of a plot of love triangle. Writers need to stop with love triangle plot. Nobody likes it.
Parasyte the grey is good one.
It should be Sweet Home in the list
Sweet home 2 is unbelievably bad!
I dropped Chicken Nugget after 2 episodes.
Networks please go back to the 2016 dramas and learn how to go back to the quality dramas
I have up half way second episode,and chicken nugget was so ridiculous,didn't even finish second episode.
Queen of tears is too predictable and boring.
I enjoyed Goodbye Earth...am I the only one..?
my fave so far are The Midnight Studio and Atypical Family
The best series of this year.
1. Parasite the grey
2. A killer Paradox
3. Pyramid game
Kdramas in general are getting boring. Seems like it’s quantity over quality these days
I actually enjoyed impossible heir though 😊
I enjoyed The Impossible Heir as well😊
I also enjoyed the Impossible heir :)
Chiken nugets...
Actors tim ...wouuu...drama 100% worst ...;((
I just wathed 3 episode of Impossible Heir, same on chicken nugget. So I agree most of the drama mentioned in this video.
