Realised i am not equipped to fully appreciate korean drama. Following are the observations i made of the current korean drama i am watchin...jus want to know the endin, seriously!!
No. 1: Too draggy.
No. 2: Too predictable.
No. 3: The guys cry too much.
No. 4: The gers cry even more.
No. 5: For goodness sake, cant the damn director jus let the lovers be together instead of goin one big round and when they can finally get together, one MUST die. And it happens not oni once but for almost all the other serials, it just point towards one thing - Koreans are sadistic, and i mean it. I tink singaporeans by and large like happy ending and i am definitely one of those people. I usually curse and swear when local dramas have sad endings and i am sure most of you have done that before too. To me, it is simply a waste of time if the drama has a sad endin, but i am still gonna finish watchin the current drama cos i am 4 discs away and it will be wrong to jus give up like that. But deep down, i am hopin fer a different endin even though i can predict rather accurately the endin (the female lead will die of illness and the evil doers will get their just desserts. The male lead will most likely kill himself oso or he will remain single all his life that kinda thing)...haha
No. 6: Unrealistic
ok, come on, we all know it too well, where got guys so zhuan1 yi1 one? He can still be obsessed with the one ger even though she had been assumed dead fer 5 years. Oh pls, it's not realistic at all!!! Yes, it's nice to watch some rich guy tryin fanatically to locate his childhood lover but guys being guys, they jus move on, faster than u think they can. So yah, u get the idea, it's unrealistic.
ok, enough of korean drama, tink i am more suited to hk serials and local dramas. At least i can look forward to a happy ending after sloggin fer hours in front of the tv. I strongly believe that watching tv is supposed to help us relax, not inflict more sadness, so no more sappy dramas after this one...
These few days are the remainin of my nua-in days, gonna start work or go fer soft skills workshop this weekend, it depends how things go tmr at the trainin session. Hope to clear my soft skills this weekend so i can work properly next month...i need the cash, feel so poor, esp so since i gotta pay fer my drivin test that is comin in a day's time...ohh, how stressed can i get.
Hmm, my tution kid maciam my fren, that day she lent me her photocopied version of the short story "Flowers for Algernon", and i think it is a story worth readin...It is reallie touchin but i appreciate the sad ending this time. It jus make me think how we all should appreciate the ability to think and stop lamenting that we are stupid at the slightest mistake. At least we are able to realise that we have made a mistake, think of people whu dun. Well this story kinda reminded me of the clients at SunDac, people of lower intelligence. I can so easily relate gordon to those clients whu are mosre willing to learn and help. How the operation may make them brighter than any of us readin this.
Alrite, read this para from the short story, wanna post this up...here it goes:"How strange it is that people of honest feelings and sensibility, who would not take advantage of a man born without arms or legs or eyes - how such people think nothing of abusing a man born with low intelligence..."
