Today was the same as yesterday. It shouldn't be so easy to watch Kdramas. I watch the first episode just to check things out and before I know it, I'm already ten-deep and I've got no way out except to finish it. How frustrating. As I'm indulging, my projects are languishing on the wayside. Aish! I wish I didn't have this kind of personality. I can't drop things on the drop of a hat.
Today's latest distraction? A drama called Lie to Me, which reminds me of that short-lived show with Tim Roth on Fox. Even having never seen it, I can confidently say they're nothing alike. The leading girl in this one is annoying. She's a selfish, insecure brat, but then again, aren't they all? The more of these I watch, the more the formula unfolds. They're modern day fairy tales but I can see the cultural restrictions. For instance, loyalty to family, company, and country seem to trump personal independence, and the people in these shows always suffer from severe communication handicaps. There's a line in which dramatic license turns into possible diagnoses of mental retardation. I shouldn't say things like this because there are probably millions out there in committed relationships who can't say the simplest things to their partners just because.
It's hard being human.
