Korean Dramas That Were Expected To Be HITS But FLOPPED In 2023

[@Ms_Lia_Lu]

Daily Dose of Sunshine is now one of my faves. Every episode made me cry but also warmed my heart. The portrayal of mental health issues was greatly done in this drama.❤

[@VampyStar405]

For real!

[@neelroy2918]

Yep, loved it!

[@ultimate_oikawa]

Calling BLOODHOUNDS a flop is an absolute JOKE the series held its own with steady viewership for five straight weeks even with that scandal attached to its name

[@TaelyLee]

I was just thinking the same thing! I haven’t been watched it (it’s on my Watchlist), but I’ve heard many people rave about this drama!

[@Katndhat]

I loved this show!!

[@CMCGDavis]

I was confused as well. I loved that show.

[@rey8194]

Frrrr. It was so gooood

[@luckytee6389]

I really liked the show too but the pacing was too fast. I feel like it would have been much better than it already is if they added more episodes to fully flesh out the characters and the plot. The show really had more potential

[@Dibee1971]

Daily Dose of Sunshine for me was brilliant. Touching a such a taboo subject in Korea was in itself fabulous. Having 3 formal diagnoses of Mental Health, yes at times it did trigger and hit close to home but it shows the reality of the Drama. Mental Health is still touchy subject in any society today. The portrayal of the characters was for me on point. We all have been touched by the effects of mental health either directly or indirectly. Watching this with an open mind and heart will broaden your understand of Mental Health and that those, like me who live with varying mental health everyday crave acceptance and understanding with no judgement.

[@dylanswierczewski3357]

Bloodhounds being a flop makes no sense to me. Maybe the scandal influenced the viewership in Korea, but worldwide it seemed quite popular. I remember it being in the Top 10 shows here in the U.S. for a bit. I don't think the plot was hard to follow at all even with the adjustments they made because of the scandal. It's definitely one of my favorites of the year. The Woo Do Hwan and Lee Sang Yi were exceptional together. Highly recommend it if you like an action packed show.

[@caramel2002]

Daily dose of sunshine is a great and heartwarming drama..but I guess people like cheesy series with cringey leads..park bo young and other actors did excellent Job in portraying their characters..I personally loved the show... it's my one of the best show of 2023 for me❤❤

daily dose of sunshines main topic is mental health, i understand how it will be triggering to a lot of people but it's expected to have those topics because it's a kdrama about mental health. i think it was an amazing, incredible drama that i related too, i fell in love with the characters and the bonds they had.

How was Bloodhounds a flop? It is the second most watched kdrama on Netflix this year. Doona! and Daily Dose of Sunshine are both lovely and interesting dramas in what hasn’t been a particularly vintage year.

[@G10-n7f]

I think they’re referring to Bloodhound’s flopping in Korea given their cancel culture and all because in the U.S. it made Netflix’s end of the year list of the top 20 most watched shows of 2023 at #14.

[@biggestrunningmanfan1683]

Hmmmm… Not sure why you didn’t feature strong girl Nam Soon, it maybe did good rating wise but is the worst K-drama I’ve ever watched. The worst part was that all featured actors are good actors but the direction and cinematography was so cringe. Also the dialogues they delivered thinking it’s comedy were the worst. Doona was not a bad drama in any way , not everyone’s cup of tea but it was good. Same goes for bloodhounds. Daily dose of sunshine can be triggering for some people and that’s why I did not even try to watch but it’s got really good reviews.

[@chibifirestorm]

the drugs part in Strong Girl Nam Soon was so stupid, what were thinking when they added that

[@biggestrunningmanfan1683]

@@chibifirestorm IK, I actually dropped it by episode 4 coz I just couldn't continue, I love comedy and these episodes were a slap to it. Since I didn't finish it I can't say much but from what I've seen i can say that they were trying to exaggerate everything like the superpowers or the criminal aspect of it but nothing delivered. Too many characters, too many stories but fell totally flat.

Oh thank you, literally the worst kdrama I've ever watched, unnecessary scenes,bland characters, the villain was the only one that kept me going but they killed him in the last ep like wtg

[@ttsiaras]

You are exactly right with your comments. For strong girl try watching it after you’ve just watched strong woman and you will actively hate all the people who produce strong girl. The writers and producers should be run out of the business.

[@kenvo343]

same sentiment. I was hooked by Doona. I binge watched that series in 2 days. So I don't know what these critics are talking about. Th male lead is perfect for the role. No pastry white face girly looking male lead. This is about real life situations. An ordinary college kid and a Kpop star. and some netizens complain he is "ugly". Do they actually think all college kids walking around looking like kpop and kdrama movie stars. sheesh. people really need a dose of reality.

[@a_k_u_]

[@chanchanie5835]

Doona is my favorite . I don't get it why peoples said they'r no chemistry. For me the chemistry is over the top. I accept that peoples unsatisfied w/ the ending, but BiG NO for the state that they lack of chemistry. And last, why peoples said we have to thanks suzy for saving this drama? Come on, Sejong also give a big impact. i love this drama bcz of Sejong first. His character is strong and his acting skill is amazing (if U know or done watch all his drama like me. I suggest for watching DUEL series). And then ofc the chemistry of sejong n suzy is insane.

[@kenvo343]

absolutely true. He is perfect for the role. IMO, he did a great job, portraying an innocent and caring individual. and yes, Suzy and him have great chemistry.

[@ebbie41091]

For Doona I'm still reading the webtoon and I am enjoying that I can't say much about how it ends since I'm not there yet but I have found alot if shows rush webtoon

[@glenysjavier3486]

Daily Dose was too real for some Koreans who are struggling with all of this but live in a country where is not allowed to have emotions. It was a fantastic drama. Who's to say what they showed is not what people are going through ?. Just because you don't see what they are seeing, doesn't mean it doesn't exist in their world. As an actress, creator and spiritual being, I connected and now have more compassion for anyone going through things no one can experience but themselves.

[@DimpleYAY]

I just love the way perfect marriage revenge ends...like this is probably the best drama of 2023 beside twinkling watermelon or moving

[@nepticc]

If you watch Daily Dose of Sunshine and rate it low just because you can't deal with the situations it portrays, that doesn't mean it's bad. Smh

[@yvescorneille4367]

This is the most accurate list I’ve watch on YT so far. I did finish bloodhounds and Doona. I was confused how Kim sae Ron just disappeared in the story line, though I didn’t know about her incident at the time, I still think the show would’ve been more successful if they kept her involved in the story line and did not cut her scenes short. As for Doona I did think they went with the wrong Male lead from the jump, still liked it tho.

[@nb8509]

Island was decent actually.The story was different and chemistry b/w the main leads was good too..VFX and CGI team has done a great job..Though there were flaws but it is a good watch.. Also instead of Daily dose of sunshine there should be Strong woman Nam soon and King the land..

I just saw Bloodhounds, Doona and Daily Dose of Sunshine in the video thumbnail, when they are literally the best kdrama’s this year.

[@lilianchan4111]

Daily Dose of Sunshine was a valiant effort, especially since it gave some focus to the patients’ caregivers, who are usually neglected. At only 12 episodes, it goes into detail for only a few conditions but it gives a good broader view of the attitudes towards mental health from the perspectives of the patients, doctors, nurses, family, caregivers, colleagues, neighbors, and strangers. It brought up the hidden self-blame and guilt, and how getting/participating in therapy is a good way for some people to prevent a mental health crisis in the first place.

[@atiyarahman3089]

Lol whoever hates doona always want a female lead as shy, cute and flawless character, the moment they see a female lead with trauma or with flaws they start to hate it for no reason. Also not every drama has to have a good and cute ending people 😂😂

Who made up this list!!!! Heartbeat was quirky, loveable, suspenseful, and funny. Taecyeon and his sidekicks totally handled these roles so well and had me laughing each episode. Daily Dose of Sunshine was epic, and broke some barriers by taking on mental health. They handled the subject matter with grace, dignity, and it was very informative. I understand it probably made a lot feel uncomfortable, but it was a very necessary and heart warming show. Especially in times like these where it's becoming harder and harder for people to keep up with the demands of managing daily life, finances, work loads, school, and life. They had a short time to pack in a lot of information and did it amazingly well. Bloodhounds was also good. I agree, the story line was a bit choppy, however to get to see both male leads handsome faces, good acting, and action scenes each episode was enough for me. It was only 8 episodes and it would have been much better for the storyline if they did 12 or 16 episodes. I didn't even notice Kim Se Ron started loosing air time in the show because she was over shadowed by all the other performers great performances. Haven't seen the other two shows, but they are on my watch list.

[@mlamarana]

It’s not about if you like them or not but the reality that they didn’t do well in Korea and considered a flop 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@Danioton]

Heartbeat: 'They don't know what a vampire is.' Daily Does of Sunshine: When its goals seems to be to teach aka preach instead of entertain then it's going to fail.

[@GirlofSteeleBFFs]

I think that daily dose of sunshine was a good K-drama overall, but I found the show very sad and felt that the characters had sad stories. In my opinion I think that South Korea should focus on more of the mental health issues and the stigma surrounding it, because you never know what people are going through or feeling like. They should also focus on the celebrities mental health as well, because many of them get hate for example, Jennie from Blackpink got hate for being a lazy dancer a couple of years ago.

[@6468May]

I thought Doona was good and both actors did well. I really liked the male lead and his acting. I guess I just don’t get why it’s being criticized. I’m waiting for a season.

[@kenvo343]

most negative comments were mostly about his look. stupid criticism. I think kdrama fans expect movie star looking character. The character is a dedicated college kid, not some rich kids spending mommy and daddy money. I think he did a very convincing job and he even manages to shine next to Suzy.

In Bloodhounds they should not have minimized her role because people need to understand it's unfair to the rest of the actors and all the people who work in the series. they should've just not hired her int he future if they were so pressed.

[@solaris6788]

Watching K dramas for 6 years now. While the male talent in South Korea has a lot of depth, the same cannot be said of the female talent. The female leads have very little acting talent and all look the same. I cannot even remember one face from the other, barring a few, of course. Their facial expressions are very bland and the quality of the drama suffers. I think the directors just think about the male leads and pay little attention to casting the female leads except look around for a pretty face. But they forget even if the story is about the ML, the FL reinforces the journey of the ML and casting is important. This video has reaffirmed my belief.

[@AssailantAttacker]

lets not blame the fl for the flop of heartbeat, it might be her first but honestly she is fun to watch, what made heart unbearable to watch for me, is how low budget it was, man the concept is vampire, vampires are known to be rich, and you made him poor!? another thing that killed it, is the location of the house, its freaking old vampire that live for a hundreds of years and you only got an apartment size building as his mansion? really? and what you made it into a meanie hotel? i was so disappointed when i found out where his home is, and another thing, you know its a low budget since they only got two actors that played as a customer in there hotel for what, 3 episodes? and man the cgi sucks so bad, it was so unbearable to watch, and what else wrong with it, they literally did a hotel deluna ending, where the ml died, and for what? just by not drinking the blood of the girl she love! and just to be clear the ending was horrible and i wasnt even sad at all, i felt like thank god it ended it was a relief, another thing the ml also was unbearable to watch, i watch a lot of romcom and his been doing romcom longer than, roowon but man his suck at romance, especially the scene with the fl he really sucks there, roowon and him are both idols, but compare to roowon that not so long ago entered the romcom genre i think he has much better future than this guy that been doing it for so long, i watch his other kdrama romcom, and i dropped all of it, his so hard to watch his fine doing comedic scene but when it comes to romance he sucks i dont see the that his inlove with the fl in his kdrama its just felt like his just acting and i dont feel any chemistry, try watching his other kdrama you will know this guy has rhe face of a romcom actor but you need to remove the romance on it, the only reason i finish heartbeat is because of fl, i find her beautiful and she has some resemblance to bae suzi, i know she is not yet good when it comes tk acting but still she did a good job on this, but all in all heartbeat failed, because of its location and the ML, man the location was so bad, they should check hotel deluna and get some pointers on that kdrama

[@sylviaquintana8570]

A popular one that I thought was terrible was Strong Girl Nam Soon. It didn't have the same cuteness, sorry but the FL was a bit irritating and the supposed ML wasn't that present. The show was more about the mom and even the grandma seemed to have more screen time than the leads. The ending madebit seem that another season would be happening but I wont be watching 😕
