Thanks to great K-drama sites (like Dramabeans, duh), we fanatics have access to fans like us that know when a drama is good. They also know when a drama is bad. Or when the ending is so bad that it requires smoke signals reading Stop now, friend! for everyone who didn’t yet suffer the fate they are currently suffering. And while we all have different tastes, we can still find fans who love the same sorts of stories we do, and rely on their advice as we identify our next watch.
But then there are those times of willful disobedience. When you want to watch a drama knowing full well it was universally disliked, panned, and/or excommunicated from the dramaverse. This happens to me a lot, especially when there’s a drama whose reputation preceded it (like oldie Que Sera Sera) or a new drama where I’ve been all kinds of spoiled for the (disappointing) ending, but can’t seem to stop myself from not caring. I’m looking at you, Heartbeat.
What are some of the dramas that you willfully watched, despite being warned? Or, what are some that you fully plan to watch in the future despite the same warning?
