I totally relate!! This happened for me with Its Okay Not To Be Okay – I remember being absolutely enthralled while it was airing. I would be on the edge of my seat anticipating each new episode. But now, long after it finished, I think my feelings toward it have changed – I’m not as in love with it like I was in the moment, and for some reason I can’t get with the love line and how it turned out. I’m not sure why it doesn’t bring the same positive emotions in my memory as it did when I was watching it….

But I’ve also had the opposite happen – dramas I completed that I thought I didn’t like very much, but rewatching them, I realized how good they actually were! Recently, I was bored and looking for a drama to fill the time while I waited for new eps of the current airing Yumi’s Cells 2 and Extraordinary Attorney Woo – something pulled me to rewatch Suspicious Partner. I remember back when I watched it first, it felt super mediocre and draggy in some parts. But watching it again, it was so much fun! I did fast forward through parts that were draggy to me, but I think I forgot how amazing Ji Chang Wook’s chemistry was with Nam Ji Hyun, that plus the comedic moments and editing, reminded me of the charm that got me into Kdramas in the first place.

Another example of this was W – Two Worlds. I do remember enjoying it while it aired, but rewatching it earlier this year, I was REALLY in love! I enjoyed it so much I was wondering why I never added it to my top drama list after all these years, cuz that’s where it is now haha.

Really liked this question!
