embarrassing addiction

I started watching k-dramas again. I get into phases where I get slightly addicted. In the summers growing up I would continuously watch Hong Kong movies. They just don't make them like they used to. Now k-dramas are the thing, despite their surprisingly predictable plots. But I have to admit that is what I like about it most sometimes. Something that gives me warm fuzzies. I want cute romantic moments interspliced with moments of comedy and sadness. And want them to get together at the end. I just finished watching Boys Over Flowers, a korean remake of a ridiculously popular japanese manga. Because it is based off a manga, I could allow myself to accept some of the crazier elements of the drama. Overall it was sugary sweet and sappy at times, but I loved the chemistry between the leads despite it all. There were genuinely good moments.

While you can't tell from the video, it is a romantic comedy. The song is my favorite from the show. While it's not the best acted drama I've ever seen, it was just sufficiently funny and cute. And while Korean dramas don't even compare to the quality of the dramas produced in Hong Kong in the 80's and 90's, I must admit, Korean actors are cuter than Hong Kong actors in my mind. Hopefully I get over my drama obsession soon. It's a real timekiller.

I really like this song too ^__^, it's just so... emotional? I guess it's b/c it plays a lot when something emotional is happening in the drama :P
ahh, well there's nothing to be embarrassed about, we all like to have a little escape from reality once in a while ^__~
