There are hot mess dramas and the just concluded SBS Fri-Sat romance drama Now, We are Breaking Up is definitely not that.

It’s nearing the end of the run for SBS drama Now, We are Breaking Up and at this point I’m just wondering how much lower the ratings will go.

So I’ve been stuck on episode 9 of Now, We are Breaking Up from three weeks ago, and the fact that I haven’t the inclination to keep watching speaks volumes.

Last week I marathoned 7 episodes of Now, We are Breaking Up to catch up on the drama since I watched the first episode and left the rest on read.
