I keep telling myself I’ll get around to watching it, but I said the same thing with Mrs. Cop and My Beautiful Bride, and I still haven’t watched those >.<

Don’t feel bad! The nice thing about dramas is that they’re always there for when you finally decide you’re in the mood to watch them, be it months or years later. Or even never. :p

I think I personally prefer marathoning older dramas that no one is currently watching because it’s like this little bubble of “just me and the drama” and I don’t have to think about outside input. Or deal with drama about the drama. If that makes sense.

For example, I’ll probably watch R88, but probably not for a few months, or even this year. I’m happy for all the gnashing of teeth over who’s the husband to die down and everyone forgets about it, so then I can just watch it with no stress. Sometimes the more hype a drama gets, the less I want to watch because there’s this bizarre stigma I place on myself about how I ought to react to the show versus how I intrinsically feel about it.

…I’m a very selfish drama watcher, apparently…

I feel like I’m in a bit of a slump with dramas. Reply 1988 only has 2 eps left, I put SFD on hold cause I’m not feeling the political saeguk stuff (not my fave genre). Not sure how I feel about CitT, and I have yet to start Remember or Moorim.

I feel you, although I’m not really in a slump so much as I have no time to check everything out. But I’m pretty sure most of 2015 was a slump-year for me, so I’m sorry if this will be your slump year, too. I don’t know what to say except maybe revisit some old faves (rewatching Hanadan was such a breath of fresh air and reminded me why I got into dramas in the first place) or just take a break.

Dramas will always be there. There will always be more dramas to pick up the slack, and if you wait long enough, everyone else will weed out the wheat from the chaff and you can pick only the “good” ones to watch without wasting your time with something that goes sour in the end. At least, that’s my philosophy. :p

As an aside and not to pressure you into watching it, I’m totally enjoying Remember, as ridiculous as it is. I’m a sucker for anything that looks like it was lovingly created (*cries over the camera work*) and as ridiculous as the plot is, there’s enough going on that it keeps my short-attention span focused. It’s not everyone’s taste though, and I can respect that. For a drama that I didn’t originally choose to watch, it’s been worth it so far.

Hanging out on the computer while I eat dinner (chilaquiles, my go-to dish of deliciousness that I finally ended up having all the components so it’s extra yummy, instead of being a sad plate of half-forgotten leftovers – cheese makes everything better, tho).

Which means I’ll catch any messages/asks/etc as they’re posted, so if anyone has burning questions or idle comments that they don’t want to wither away in the mobile-wasteland (’cause I don’t see them when I use the app), have at!
