    Oh my gosh. I watched so many questionable dramas when I was a baby dramawatcher. I was distracted by all of those pretty people and those fish kisses, wrist grabs, back hugs, and piggy back rides. By the time I realuzed the show may be crack!drama at best train wreck at worst the show was over and I was heading for the next drama.
    Off top I think bof was a train wreck. Whats up fox (the beginning was so charming. And hilarious. I want a strong one who can give it to me hard….! After all those fish kisses I was shocked. That could be what kept ne there until the end) Lucky Romance. My Perfect Boyfriend….I could be mixing up dramas I didnt particularly like with dramas that were messy.

      Oh yess! lucky romance! how did i forget that mess!
      Like u said.. I’m sure (and I hope) that the reason why I continued watching those dramas was cuz I was a newbie just transfixed by the tropes and pretty ppl! Lol

      but I still havent figured out how to get myself out of it..I’m much better but I still have watched terrible stuff even recently like My secret romance or Princess hours.. I keep hoping they will get better..!

        My secret romance was SO BAD. It was nothing like they promised. Its a good thing the lead was so smoking hot that show had literally nothing else going for it.

          Soo true..I couldn’t even abide the female lead.. i have never met ppl that dumb and “innocent” and passive and plain stupid. Even if they were trying to emulate fifty shades of grey.. wasnt Anna slightly more spunky in it?! (havent seen the movie..only seen the trailers to judge from)

            Is that what they were going for?! I would have rather they tried their hand at twilight. I’ve never seen (or read 50 shades either) but that had to hsve been better.

    I know people love this drama but one of the worst dramas I’ve watched was Can You Hear My Heart. I almost want to rewatch because if everyone loved it so much maybe it’s not as bad as I remember, but I don’t think I could do that to myself.

      I have never heard of this drama before.. looking at it’s description it sounds like a typical sob story makjang… not my kinda dramas.. Are u sure u want to revisit a train wreck?! I still cringe to myself that I didnt drop those dramas and watched them till the end.. such a waste of hours when u could be watching something awesome!

    Boys Over Flowers was a complete mess and Hwarang comes close. My Secret Romance pitched an interesting premise that didn’t deliver in anyway. Other dramas that haven’t been mentioned already that I think are train wrecks are: The K2, although an argument could be made that it never even started on the tracks to begin with; and Across the Ocean to See You, there is a reason why I fast forwarded half that damn drama.

    I’ve encountered a lot more near train wrecks though: Cinderella and the Four Knights, Strong Woman Do Bong Soon, Rush to the Dead Summer, and Moorim School to name a few.

    I guess I ended up conflating the two different types of train wrecks the author mentioned in that article.

      I have to agree with all your dramas too (dunno bout the cDramas u mentioned)! Although I’l admit to watching Strong woman till the end cuz Hyung-shik was soo cute! Ok – this is probably the reason I ended up watching all the above till the end (except K2 which even jiwookie couldnt salvage for me!)

      Damn.. didnt realise I was such a shallow girl! All I can say is fangirling is important business!
      Pssst.. I would only ever admit to this on dramabeans under my Unicorn superhero identity.. I dont who u are or what u are talking about if u ever happen to bump into me in real life ! 😀

      Oh. My. Gosh. I couldn’t make it past the firstvfes eps of Moorim School. People LOVE it and I have NO IDEA WHY. Its so, so, bad.

        Yeah.. i was surprised by the amt of love it received on the fan wall buddy watch too! but then i think it might have to do with fangirling the actors.. I mean I had such expectations from the premise of the plot & was looking forward to another Hogwarts like story with Harry Potter & Malfoy bromance! but it was so……. nevermind – it’s not something I would like to revisit!

          Now, im a shallow gal. My infatuation with the young Jackson Wang and my appreciation of the abs on the actor from My Secret Romance: well documented. But I COULD NOT and I was so looking forward to it for thevrwadons you mentioned.

          And speaking of the hotness. Jung. Yong. Hwa. I love that man. Lord knows I live that man. But that drama he was I where the actress travels back in time to convince herself nnit to marry her husband? Train Wreck. Marry Him If You Dare.

    Doctor Stranger and W – for the love of LJS. Crossing my fingers While You Were Sleeping will slay (Suzy aside).

      W was pretty decent.. the 2nd half sucked but it was still better than a lotta shows out there.
      Doctor stranger… oh god.. this thread is really making me realise just how many terrible train wrecks I’ve watched!

        I was frustrated with W. So. Much. Promise. Same with Dr Stranger. LJS was the only ray of light in both. And the villains were good. In more recent memory, I’m grieving Bride of the Water God, The Best Hit, My Sassy Girl, Ruler, the list goes on.. 😆

          Yup.. LJS was why i sustained through the torture too! Really crossing my fingers amour while you are sleeping.. it’s the only show of my fav actors on for the rest of year!
          You didn’t like best hit??! The weird father son fighting for girl bit put you off? Admittedly the ending was also lame.. but but ysy totally stole that show for me!

            I loved the best hit! 😊 I watched all YSY drama after that bec of withdrawal. 😆 The love triangle was ok. What was upsetting was the premise of young people reaching there dreams. What happened to that? They didn’t show KMJ and hia sidekick performing! And Alba girl was Alba girl til the end. 😢

          Oh yeah.. you are right. I was so taken by ysy that I totally forgot what the show was supposed to be about! Haha.. well I guess they have a happy ending in the agency with GJ.. and alba girl also joins them at some point.. the cons of a 16 episode format I guess.. but i doubt they could have sustained the story for longer though.. it has started fizzling out within the 16 episodes itself

            I was smitten with YSY too that when I watch I just go with it but everytime the recaps were out, people point out the gap between what was promised and what actually happended in the show so I was constantly reminded. 😆 I think it’s not the 16-ep format but the fact that they banked too much on YSY’s charm (thinking it will draw ratings) so they focused on the romance part than the reaching-your-dream aspect. But! All’s well that ends well. I had such warm fuzzy feels in that show and weekends were so much brighter back then. I don’t regret watching. 😊😊😊

    Awww Hwarang I still like it very much though. My train wreck is Scarlet Heart definitely.

        I zipped thru all but the last ep of Scarlet. I figured it better to play in my head the ending that the actual ep based on ppl’s reaction. 😂
