5 Disappointing K-Drama Series That Viewers Got Sick Of Watching In April
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 April.
1. Karma
This thriller-mystery crime K-Drama premiered on April 4 on Netflix. It follows six people, whose lives become entangled by the various crimes, schemes, and tragedies they have been involved in.
One viewer who dropped the show gave Netflix credit for pushing the envelope, but they also found the “depravity” boring and lost interest in the plot.

2. Crushology 101
Crushology 101 premiered on April 11. In this MBC romance series, a college student who has been unlucky in love suddenly finds herself in a love triangle situation when two handsome men (a wealthy chaebol heir and a warm-hearted visual design student) walk into her life.
One viewer struggled to connect with the characters, while another found the show “borderline creepy.”

3. Way Back Love
This fantasy romance series follows childhood friends (and first loves) who reunite under bittersweet circumstances. A week before the main character (played by Kim Min Ha) dies, her old friend (played by Gong Myoung) appears to her as a grim reaper. The show premiered on April 3.
This viewer stopped watching the “heart-wrenching” show because they found it too predictable.

4. Melo Movie
This romantic Netflix series starring Choi Woo Shik and Park Bo Young came out in March. It follows two movie enthusiasts who fall in love after bonding over their shared interests, only for one of them to suddenly disappear. Years later, they reunite as a filmmaker and a film critic.
One viewer said that watching this “snoozefest” of a show was “a very slow, painful and pointless struggle.” They did, however, have good things to say about actor Kim Jae Wook, who played the male lead’s brother, Ko Jun.

5. When Life Gives You Tangerines
IU and Park Bo Gum star in this highly anticipated Netflix romance drama set on Jeju Island in the 1950s. IU plays the younger version of the female lead–a free spirit who dreams of becoming a poet–while Park Bo Gum plays the younger version of the male lead–her steadfast secret admirer. Queenmaker‘s Moon So Ri and The World of the Married‘s Park Hae Joon play their older counterparts. The show premiered on March 7.
When Life Gives You Tangerines isn’t a lighthearted show, and unfortunately, for that reason, some viewers didn’t end up finishing the series.
