Why K-Drama Viewers Dropped These "Disappointing" Series In November

When an exciting, new show is announced, K-Drama fans eagerly add it to their watch lists. Unfortunately, some highly anticipated series fell flat for views in November, even those with creative plot ideas and all-star casts.

2. Daily Dose of Sunshine

Daily Dose of Sunshine is a webtoon adaptation about a nurse who transfers to the psychiatry department and encounters tough situations there.

3. Heartbeat

2PM’s Taecyeon plays a human-vampire hybrid who lost his chance to become fully human, thanks to being woken up from his enchanted slumber early. He ends up sharing his house with the cold-hearted, hardworking woman (played by Won Ji An) who disturbed him.

Some viewers were enjoying the series — until they caught wind of the ending. Without getting into spoilers, let’s just say that it isn’t what typically plays out in a romantic comedy.

4. The Forbidden Marriage

Based on a webtoon, The Forbidden Marriage is a Joseon Dynasty-era K-Drama. After the death of the crown princess, the king bans marriage for everyone. Naturally, many citizens aren’t happy about it, but for one swindler, it’s the perfect opportunity to pull off a con: pretending to be possessed by the late crown princess.

Some viewers were not impressed with the series’ storytelling, and they found some characters hard to like.
