Like it or not, there comes a time for every devoted K-drama fan when you hit a slump. Nothing gets your excitement going. Nothing seems worth watching. Everything veers on the side of the disappointing, repetitive, or not-worth-the-gamble.
I’m not sure if a slump is caused by over-watching, over-thinking, and/or experiencing a string of underwhelming dramas (or any other reason, really), but I guess the more important question is what you do to get out of it. Do you pause your viewing and bake cupcakes and read a book instead? Do you watch a tried-and-true favorite to remind you why K-dramas are precious? Or do you venture into the foreign land of *GASP* other media?
For me, usually a break is the way to go. I will definitely bake cupcakes and read a book and take a week or two off from watching something (anything). And when I come back, I’m either looking for something new full of K-drama magic, or I’m returning to an old favorite to bring the joy back (think Healer or Flower Boy Next Door).
