Overdramatic

K-dramas are too long and J-dramas are a bit short. J-dramas seem to have a little give at the end but I can't be mad at being left wanting more. Means they did a good job. On the other hand, K-dramas go on and on forever.

Having just finished Single Dad in Love with an ending that is equal parts ballsy and bullshit, I am left with a profound sense of disappointment and a sneaking suspicion that I have wasted this entire 4th of July weekend on low tier filler.

Whelp, no use crying over spilled milk. Them's just the breaks. All I know is that I should be damn weary about starting any new shows from now on. The sunk cost fallacy ends up costing far more than if I just quit cold turkey, but with my strong duty of seeing things through to the end, the winning move is to not play.

Event Log: 8/28/14 - I Want Some More

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.

Event Log: 8/27/14 - End of the Road

I finished Wild Romance. Kdramas are funny. When I'm in the middle of one, everything seems so entertaining, but when it's over, and then I think about it, it actually wasn't as good as I thought. Maybe it's just me and the embarrassment of watching something so melodramatic catching up. At first, it was good for getting ideas for my own stories, but my brain has deteriorated past that point where I can justify my lack of production. My mind is comfortably numb. It's why I've been one step behind in these Event Logs. Not only is all my time being eaten up by these Kdramas, but I haven't really been doing anything other than watching these Kdramas--besides working out. Sure sounds like I'm taking it easy, and that's because I totally am. I know I'll run out of dramas to watch eventually, but I legitimately fear for my life once September 9th rolls around, because on that day, I have a date with Destiny.
