*Spoiler Alert* There are evergreen K-dramas like Coffee Prince that I can rewatch infinitely. But, there are also Korean dramas — such as Lee Min Ho and Gong Hyo Jin’s When the Stars Gossip — that I just can’t fathom consuming more than once.

In this week’s I’ve watched over 100 K-dramas column, I reveal 9 Korean dramas that I can’t rewatch. These shows have been selected for various reasons: many for breaking my hopeless romantic heart, some for leaving me a crying mess, and a few for not living up to the mammoth hype it created before its underwhelming release. PS: These are K-dramas that I personally can’t rewatch, but they could very well be on your watch list…

I’ve watched over 100 K-dramas, and here are 9 Korean dramas I can’t rewatch — starring Lee Min Ho, Byeon Woo Seok, Kim Seon Ho & more1. When the Stars Gossip

When the Stars Gossip, unfortunately, is at the top of my list. And this is after being extremely excited to watch it! I was among the few who rooted for and watched the Lee Min Ho and Gong Hyo Jin starrer until the end, but felt cheated coming out of it. The space rom-com K-drama was marketed as a must-watch, and it was anything but. Instead, it came across as a glorified PSA for anti-abortion.
