drama update
Jan. 21st, 2010 12:31 pmREMINDER: Vote now in the Drama Boyfriend Playoffs. I'll leave the Conference Championships up through Friday.
I watched the first episode of Wallflower/Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge/Perfect Girl Evolution/WHATEVER (I'm going to stick with Wallflower since that's how the majority of my flist refer to it) and I think I might have hated it. It was pretty insane. Now, I don't mind insane. I adored Hana Kimi after all. But this just felt like a giant mess.
The entire episode was just so manic. I felt like they were cutting to different camera shots and scenes every 5 minutes. They never let your eyes just rest and follow a scene through. It was like a kid who'd had too much soda. The drama was bouncing off the walls. I'll give it one more episode and put it aside, I have other things I want to watch.
Of course, I could just be hyper sensitive given the other drama I'm watching is Something Happened in Bali which is about as polar opposite a drama as you could get. Maybe I'm experiencing drama hypothermia.
Speaking of Bali, MAN is it depressing. It makes you kind of lose faith in humanity. Everyone is either evil or irrevocably damaged. Not exactly an uplifting story. No wonder I don't watch that many melodramas (or really any at all). This is getting really tough for me to trudge through and I know it's only going to get worse. D:
Smile, You made me cry again. I'm very grateful that Jung In's father has finally grown up. I like how they've dealt with it though, he's still very much the same man, he just finally feels some responsibility for his actions and his family. I'm very concerned, however, at what Hyun Soo's mother is cooking up.
VAMPIRE DIARIES is back tonight. I'm not at all ashamed at how excited this makes me.
ETA: OH, but to prove I don't rot my brain all the time, I am reading A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini (he also wrote The Kite Runner) and it's wonderfully written but completely heartbreaking.
