Everybody’s got a list. All those dramas that you’ve tried to watch, gotten through an episode or two, and given up — but that you just can’t drop completely. Usually it’s not about an aversion to drama dropping itself, but some pull factor that keeps whispering in your ear to keep going (you know, someday).
For me this often happens when the whole wide world seems to love a drama and I just can’t make it past Episode 1. Rather than agree to disagree, I tell myself I must be missing something and that the super astute Me Of The Future will definitely be more apt to understand the humor or heartache required to slog through that particular show.
Case in point? My Ajusshi. I have tried to watch this beloved drama on more than one occasion and never successfully finished the third episode. (Yeah, throw things. I know.) I want to watch it. I want to love it. I want to join in the conversation and spread my undying admiration for this drama. But instead, it sits on hold in a pile of other dramas that I really want to watch, but just can’t seem to finish.
Which show have you tried picking up multiple times but couldn’t stick with it — and why do you keep trying?
