skimmed
Dramas I've skimmed just enough of to understand the plot/appreciate the characters... but have no interest in watching completely due to draggy story-lines, poor plot execution, too many episodes, etc.

1. Fogos de artifício do meu coração
Chinese Drama - 2023, 40 episodes
Entirely too long. So much filler. Loved the MC's chemistry, but their characters were bland... very two-dimensional. I couldn't really root for either of them, tbh, which was unfortunate because I REALLY wanted to. xP So much unnecessary family drama too.

2. Game Lah Torrachon
Thai Drama - 2021, 19 episodes
Still haven't decided on this one. I LOVE the cast (and they have fantastic chemistry), but the plot has a lot of holes. May still watch in the future if I'm in the mood, but for now... ehh.

3. Jin Wu Cang Fu
Chinese Drama - 2024, 24 episodes
Not bad, but not good, either. I have enjoyed the ML's acting in the past, but his character here was blahhhh. FL was infantile and childish (and their size difference weirded me out lmaoo). Decent acting. Plot could've been interesting, but wasn't executed well.

4. Os Ventos do Sul Sabem
Chinese Drama - 2023, 39 episodes
Fantastic cast. And so much whump lmao. (IYKYK) But the plot was all over the place... I felt like they were telling 4 different stories at the same time. And AGAIN with the fucking family drama. IT'S SO DUMB. It's so unnecessary. I think these people need to accept the fact that working in the same company with family members is almost always a bad idea. That's where all the damn nonsense comes from in business dramas. Lol.
That being said... I adore Cheng Yi. His acting was the best part of the whole show. His character was so complex and beautifully portrayed. He just deserved a better plot to pair this character with.

5. Investindo em Você
Chinese Drama - 2024, 40 episodes
Too many damn episodes. Ugh. I did enjoy the MC... their romance was cute, and the plot wasn't bad, I'm just not into drawn out business dramas tbh. I care about the characters, not their jobs. Lol. I skimmed this (and enjoyed it), but can't commit to watching the whole thing. :(

6. Doctor Slump
Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes
Storyline is too weak for me to even invest my time in. :( I LOVE the cast... but just can't do it. *sigh* Plus, too many episodes. As usual.

11. Saying Goodbye

-
12. A Journey to Love
Chinese Drama - 2023, 40 episodes
The most confusing thing is... I LOVE this drama. LOVE IT. I love the cast. I love the characters. I was so in love with the whole show (and watched bits of it here and there as it was airing).
But that fucking ending... absolutely ruined everything for me. (I saw spoilers of the ending right after I started watching in earnest.) I actually cried for a week after seeing the ending... and then I decided I was never going to go back and watch the entire thing. Too painful. BEAUTIFUL SHOW. Fantastic characters. Exquisite acting. But too painful for me to handle. :(

16. Chun Hua Yan
Chinese Drama - 2024, 32 episodes
i don't even have words for how pissed i am about this drama tbh. the writers fucked up the entire story and CHANGED THE ENDING. i'm convinced you have to be certifiably sadistic to write historical dramas these days. such a disappointment. LOVED the cast (LXY is always fantastic) but there was no excuse for the horrible writing.
