The K-Drama Plan Moving Forward 👀 (Patreon)

Hey guys! So this is a mixed update/poll post, because whilst I want to drop my plans on you, I also like to see your feedback!

Recently, I'd explained that as of late, dramas over here have felt a little difficult for me to follow through with.

Thankfully, I've been able to identify that part of this may be because I have been putting way too much pressure on myself to blindly commit to things when I literally never do that.

What do I mean?

Well, I'm actually the type of person who watches a lot at once (when I'm not reacting especially), and so I like to try stuff out. I'll often sample a bit of this and a bit of that to see what I like, and then keep watching the stuff I like and drop what I don't. I think that's actually a pretty common and normal thing to do.

What I used to do over here, though, was actually the complete opposite. For a long time, I felt as though I needed to create a structured watchlist and advertise it, and that before putting anything on that watchlist, I needed to be either ABSOLUTELY SURE about a show (which restricted what I was willing to explore), or I had to just suck it up and commit to something and hope for the best – no take-sies back-sies.

If I added something to the watchlist but wound up not liking it, it was a disaster for me, because expectations would have been created for you guys and me, and if I didn't want to follow through anymore, it'd only end in disappointment for all of us. I hated that!

So!

I've been away from dramas for long enough now and assessed my options (I've literally just been watching a ton of stuff on my own), and I've come up with a solution.

For now, at least, I'm just going to sample the first episodes of a bunch of different dramas that I've wanted to check out, and see how I like them!

Once I've seen a little bit, I'll either continue with that show, or know it's not for me and say, "Ok, guys, well, I guess we're not watching this one!"

I think this is much better than dropping a show halfway through, or pushing through to just see the end of it for the sake of it. No one benefits from that!

For those dramas in particular (unless it was one I was already interested in from the get-go), the episode 1 reactions will be labelled as "PILOT TEST". If we have a few dramas that we like, then those will be the priorities that I move forward with. Not all at once, of course (especially if there are like 5 lmao), but at least I'll have had my fun sampling a wide variety that I've been curious about, and I'll also be able to establish a solid watchlist for the near future.

So all that said, how does the poll come into this?

What I'd like to know is:

Which of the following K-dramas would you like to see sampled over here?

I'm open to other recommendations down in the comments below, and the poll is multiple choice, so vote for however many you'd like!

The poll itself is my immediate list of dramas I've been thinking of for ages, so they're all ones that I want to sample anyway. I'd just love to see which ones you guys are interested in!

Thanks in advance for all the feedback, and I'll see you for some more dramas soon!
