5 Disappointing K-Drama Series That Viewers Stopped Watching In November
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 November 2025. Here are 5 K-Dramas that viewers couldn’t finish watching.
1. Dear X
In this melo-thriller, a beautiful actress hides a dark past and sociopathic tendencies behind her facade. Her perfectly crafted world starts to fall apart, but she isn’t going down without a fight.
One viewer who stopped watching the show praised Dear X‘s writing, acting, and direction, but criticized its unlikable cast of characters. “It feels like I am watching awful people torturing then getting tortured by a slightly less awful person,” they wrote.

2. Typhoon Family
This tvN series takes place during the late 1990s. It follows a young CEO as he fights to protect his father’s small company during Korea’s IMF crisis.
One viewer who dropped the show felt that it was “flat” with supporting characters who didn’t get an opportunity to shine.

3. Would You Marry Me?
This tvN romantic comedy is about the heir to South Korea’s oldest bakery and a small business owner, who enter a fake marriage to win a gorgeous newlywed home.
“It’s so boring and there are too many overused cliches and tropes,” wrote one viewer who dropped the show. Rather than watching Would You Marry Me?, they said they would rather rewatch a similar but “superior” K-Drama, Because This is My First Life.
