When an exciting, new show is announced, K-Drama fans eagerly add it to their watch lists. Unfortunately, some highly anticipated new series fell flat for viewers in December 2025. Here are 5 K-Dramas that viewers couldn’t finish watching.

1. Dynamite Kiss

On November 12, Netflix released a new romantic comedy series, Dynamite Kiss. It follows a desperate job-seeker, who lies her way into steady employment at a baby products company by pretending to be a married mother. Things get complicated when she finds out that her team leader is the man she had a whirlwind romance with in Jeju.

2. Would You Marry Me?

3. Beyond the Bar

Beyond the Bar premiered on August 2 on JTBC, with Netflix releasing two episodes weekly. This legal-themed show follows a rookie lawyer and her cold, demanding mentor.

Beyond the Bar promised political intrigue and a deep dive into what “justice” really means, but some viewers lost interest in the show due to an “icky” romance and a “dumpster fire of a plot.”
