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

Doona is goated

Lately many kdrama are repeating stories so boring, even the creamy faces and super filtered are boring to look at them no depth in stories.
Deceptive and please keep your natural color you are not Snow White

Daily dose of sunshine is good drama

I don’t agree regarding Bloodhounds. That drama was awesome! I loved it!!

Don't say daily dose was a flop that drama was so good with tears n lessons

I lved watching Daily Dose of Sunshine...it was well scripted and executed in very good manner

I lved watching Daily Dose of Sunshine...it was well scripted and executed well

I love daily dose and doona.

I agree with taecyon kdrama.. i stopped at episode 3 , though I love taecyon, I was bored with the acting of the female lead,no chemistry at all.

I haven't watched the rest.

I personally loved island

Doona was good

I’d say Strong Girl Nam Soon wasn’t as good as expected. It wasn’t a flop and I didn’t mind it, but definitely not as good as Bong Soon and I read many viewers dropped it.

Bloodhounds was awesome ♥️♥️🔥🔥🔥 I really liked it and I believe many liked the show too I am surprised to see it in this list.

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 😕

I just watched Doona last week and I loved it, not a typical kdrama ending but probably realistic

Doona was painful, terrible weak ending.

But Bloodhound was good

I actually really liked n enjoyed watching Oh! Young simi .....it's a really good drama to watch

Daily dose of sunshine was acually one of the best dramas I’ve ever watched I swear I cried at almost every episode and the whole drama was so meaningful and it had a lot of emotions behind it

Daily dose of sunshine. Has my heart and soul. One of the best❤❤❤ ones i have ever seen

I enjoyed Ok Taecyeon's "Heartbeat" though still has that Taecyeon signature 'comic_ry' 🥰

I enjoyed Daily Dose of Sunshine. it was a Disney version of mental health issue drama but hey, as far as I am concern, it's kind of an original, not? Conversations in regards to mental health issues are something SK desperately needs. they shun the idea of mental health issues and perhaps for some, it was just a hard subject to face it. some of the writing honestly was a bit ridiculous. for example, the protagonist developing manic depression to the point of being suicidal but again, I said it was a "Disney" version of what could have been a gripping and realistic drama but yet I am sure more viewers would have complained about that if it was too realistic. for a country that has the most suicides in the world, I think this is a good beginner's level of exposure to a very important topic. mental health issues are amongst all of us. don't ignore it. it's absolutely essential to talk about it and try to heal.

What?!!! Bloodhounds was brilliant! And very popular on Netflix!

i just cant believe this list have daily dose of sunshine, such a great k drama, but not strong woman namsoon...

Daily Dose of sSnshine and Bloodhound are great, the best kdramas in 2023..

A Time Called You, not included in this list, is so biased. LOL, it was one of the most anticipated K-dramas from Netflix's original content lineup of 2023, and it turned out to be a flop in all aspects—ratings and messy storytelling.

Just watched Daily Dose of Sunshine and yes the story gets hard to watch when the main character gets depression, but it also was such an amazing show showing us how important mental health is how everyone can face difficulties and overcome them. I think it teaches us a lot. I enjoyed watching it.

Tough pill to swallow for some but there is no lies here.

In no way was bloodhounds a flop one off best kmovies outthere.

Heartbeat started strong and then just fizzled...not enough Vampire shenanigans which made it funny. The WORST was Strong girl!!! ALSO Sung Hoons acting in Perfect Marriage Revenge was just awfullllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think doona is a flop!you just have a bad eye

The heck..bloodhounds was an absolute hit..i became obessed with every part of the show!! IT WAS FUCKING AMAZING

Strangers again, I didnt watch this drama, but why is it a flop if they watched it until the end? Would it not be just considered as a disappointing ending? 🤔

As a psychology student we described many diseases patients in our surroundings and most of them are depression, anxiety & phobias.
So, kdrama daily dose of sunshine is realit base if our observation behavior skills are good.

Calling daily dose of sunshine a flop is an absolute joke

currently moon in the day is good drama.its has good storyline. but agree that kdrama fans are very harsh ignorant sometimes, they encourage heavy violent bad dramas and never blame on such bad dramas but they ruin our moods when we are trying to watch a good kdrama. i dont give damn about those reviews

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.

I drop Heartbeat because the story was bad.The lead actors had no the Vampire love chemistry and connection that's pull them together and the female and male villain were Vain they had no compelling story.
-Doona I loved it and enjoy it.
-Nokdu was terrible.
-King of the land was terrible for me and I didn't like the story It was too easy.

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

doona a flop? this channel's becoming a joke

Kdrama should only be considered a flop because of poor or declining viewership and poor ratings, not because 1-2 comments saying oh it is good but could be better, while still giving it 7/10.

Eh I don’t think Bloodhounds is a flop.. at least in my country, it stayed at number 1 spot and in top 10 for weeks!! And Daily dose of Sunshine is a fantastic drama❤

I love King of the Land but was very disappointed with the last epsiode. Felt like a setback. I was also disappointed with Strong Girl.Nam Soon. It had so much potential with it great cast and interesting villain , however the plot lines where long winded and often overshadowed the main character who the show is supposed to be about.

I enjoyed watching Strangers Again and I can tell you the chemistry is definitely there that I root for them to have a happy ending despite their differences. But I have to agree, the open ending left me disappointed and felt empty...

Idk, the Kdramas haven't been hitting like they used to. I figured it was in part to the contract with Netflix, writers ban etc causing them to rush in writing/filming to just get the series/movies out there for consumption.

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.

Doona and Bloodhounds were not flops. These haters need to chill

Bloodhounds was awful, and a great example of how a culture's aversion to lethal violence (even when protecting family) lets bad guys kill over and over with impunity. And the heroes retaliating with non-lethal force and even calling for emergency medical care for a killer made me groan loudly. Doona was an abomination of standard K Drama tropes. Like my IMDB review said: "it is like the show was written for Celebrities, instead of average fans and casual viewers".

If we are talking about controversial dramas I am surprised Destined with You is not on this list maybe K netz loved it but its rather controversial internationally...

I beg to differ.... Bloodhounds was NOT a flop, boo 😒.
