I had no idea that "It's Okay, That's Love" was currently ongoing. I thought I was jumping into something complete, so imagine my shock when the episodes dried up. I'm ten-deep, which means I'm committed. No backing out. If I bailed out now, it'd be with a bad taste in my mouth. I hate to leave things hanging.
I don't know if it's just me, bad translation, or Korean semantics, but sometimes, the dialogue in dramas makes absolutely no sense. It's a phenomenon I describe as talking "at" each other instead of talking "to" each other. The finer subtleties are probably lost in translation.
Unfortunately, there's not much I can say about the show. I'm not invested enough to start writing up detailed critiques about plot, characterization, or any of the other elements that constitute a good drama, and it's not like I'm keeping a record of all my thoughts as I watch it. I suppose the quality of a drama depends on how many times I think "WAT" as I'm watching. Less is better. And the actor pool is super-limited in Korea. I see the same people everywhere. Where's the variety?
I had a late night BF4 session and it was probably the worst one we've had in months. It was so bad, my friend called it in early. He couldn't handle the obscene levels of nonsense that were going on, which included a terrible spawn into a knifed animation. I don't know what was going on that night, but it was straight bollocks.
I've been in the middle of a story written by a good friend. The writing is quality but there are some things that make me wanna barf, not because it's bad, but because it's fundamentally opposed to my unsentimental view on romance. I'm not a big fan of weaksauce. Even in the lowest of the low, those who exert some form of willpower can look cool by virtue of self-propulsion. We could all use help sometimes, but this is fiction; I wanna read about somebody who can do it on his own--or at least try--even when he can't. Whether he or she succeeds or fails, it doesn't matter. They're still cool in my book.
