5 Disappointing K-Drama Series That Viewers Got Sick Of Watching In May
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 May.
1. Pump Up the Healthy Love
In this romantic comedy, love blossoms between an ambitious gym owner and a development manager who starts hitting the gym in the hopes of turning her setbacks into comebacks.
One viewer dropped this series because they thought the male lead’s acting was “just so over the top.” Another felt that, despite this, the show was still worth watching.

One viewer who stopped watching this show said that after episodes 6-8 the show felt “boring” and the plot “dragged.”

5. Happiness
Happiness is a 2021 apocalyptic thriller that takes place in the near future, after a failed drug causes infected people to regress into zombies. This leads to a pandemic as the Korean military and police try to contain the spread of the virus, and civil rights groups protest against the treatment of zombies.
One viewer who dropped Happiness just couldn’t get into the story. While many people love zombie flicks, they aren’t for everyone.
