Don’t feel bad! The nice thing about dramas is that they’re always there for when you finally decide you’re in the mood to watch them, be it months or years later. Or even never. :p
I think I personally prefer marathoning older dramas that no one is currently watching because it’s like this little bubble of “just me and the drama” and I don’t have to think about outside input. Or deal with drama about the drama. If that makes sense.
For example, I’ll probably watch R88, but probably not for a few months, or even this year. I’m happy for all the gnashing of teeth over who’s the husband to die down and everyone forgets about it, so then I can just watch it with no stress. Sometimes the more hype a drama gets, the less I want to watch because there’s this bizarre stigma I place on myself about how I ought to react to the show versus how I intrinsically feel about it.
…I’m a very selfish drama watcher, apparently…
