My picks are:

1. the snow queen. it was a drag for me i wanted to watch this cause hyun bin was awesome in MNIKSS but it was a disappointment.
2. witch yoo hee. i am just going to say that i couldnt even finish this one
3. im going to get it but full house. i just think the goofy parts clouded the story or maybe the story wasnt that strong to hold the drama.

As for me:

1. Goong: I enjoyed the first half of it, but it dragged and dragged to the point where I no longer see the reason of having 24 episodes. It was one of the kdramas I liked when I first watched it, but became too boring the second time around.
2. Full House: I would have to agree with you on this one. The comedic parts were too repetitive; overrated, but I had a good laugh.

the single biggest overrated kdrama will have to be winter sonata. It was such a smash hit when it aired, esp. in Korea and Japan. But if you look at the story it is pretty much crap.

It was my first Kr drama and I LOVED it. In fact, I still love it and have watched it countless times. The story had many twists and turns and I finished it without sleeping (2 days one night?) in 2004. I guess the beautiful OST, great acting from lead and supporting actors and awesome cinematography all helped to make WS a riveting drama for me. If I had been a veteran Kr drama addict before watching Winter Sonata, the story might not have been as novel. But this drama will remain one of my evergreens - together with Damo, Kim Sam Soon, Prince turned to Frog (TW), Love at the Dolphin Bay (TW), Meteor Garden (TW) and Long Vacation (Jp).

Winter Sonata was great in its time... But now that years have passed and people are still mooning away because of Winter Sonata, I feel that it was slightly overrated. But it was a beautiful, if rather slow paced, drama. I think Goong and My Girl are both overrated. *runs away*

This is just a personal opinion but Goong would have been nothing without the glamorous and artistic backdrops and beautiful soundtrack. The actors were too new at this and the storyline started to get blah when they extended the episodes. I would gratefully admit now that Yoon Eun Hye is a talented young lady but I wouldn't have done so then.

My Girl was a hype that I really didn't get. As wackily charming the show was, I hated how Lee Da Hae dressed, it took a few episodes for me to get used to Lee Dong Wook's looks (he looked really weird to me at first) and the show didn't have enough sweet moments to actually endear me to the show. The comedy was slapstick at best and the ending was a bit rushed.

I actually like both these dramas but I didn't think they were wonderful. There are plenty of other good kdramas but they never receive the recognition they deserve.

You're gonna make many enemies saying that about Winter Sonata, beertax. You don't want to offend the Ahjumma's! Big Smile

Definitely Full House. It's so awful and there is no chemistry between the leads.

The really overrated drama in this season series is Spring Waltz. Everything else is the same - similar birth secret, beautiful cinematography, OST but the main difference is the two leads can't act for peanuts.

I mentioned Winter Sonata b/c it is heads and shoulders more popular over the other seasons series. As far as i am concerned they are all seriously flawed.

I will have to say that the most disappointing for me were

Full House : No chemistry. Storyline dragged. I just wanted it to end.

My Girl : I don't understand the hype behind this show at all. I found her character SO annoying that I could not like her.

I agree ^.^ I don't really get what's the hype for My Girl. (sorry My Girl fans, that's my honest opinion) I found Lee Da Hae's character so annoying that she gets on my nerves Glare

Hello, Miss & Full House, as well.

agree with you 100%. I tried to force myself to watch it due to its immense popularity but the pain and boredom was so great that i couldn't get past the first few eps. Goong was another one that i liked initially but the whole 'i think i secretly like you but you like someone else and it turns out the other person might have feelings too' chase dragged out too long and I gave up halfway. Dae Jang Geum. It was interesting at first but it's so annoying how somehow it seems as if everyone is out to get her and yet she's so brilliant that she alone is able to solve all the problems presented. I think the fault all kdramas have in common is that they have small, most of the time increative plot spread out into too many episodes.
