K dramas and now J dramas are what I am crushing on currently. It's such a teenagy feeling to watch young couples fight and find their contradicting personality differences and yet iron the creases with empathy, understanding, and typical mills and boon formula love. It's like you live in the clouds when you see stories gushing with making love possible despite mental health challenges and difficult parent/background issues which seem to be the flavor of how two people, hero and the heroine, meet each other half way through and find common pathways despite these conflicts to fall in love.
These dramas are like mild sweetened desserts which never go over the top sweet and yet make the viewers feel like they have been served the best recipe for happily ever after.
I live in such a fantasy myself and even if I am well past my 40's, the simple appeal of idealistic plots, honest communication, and simple yet layered characters who do their job well in the roles they play is a "I want to believe" vision to my sore eyes.
I wish our everyday lives were that beautiful, that sweet, or plain heartwarmingly simple and not be bothered by the burdens of the past. It's like I seem to live in a never ending tale of pleasant today when I am binging on specially romcom, or doctor/office romances, and the festive season magic adding its own year end charm in the kind of films other than shows the viewers gets to watch on.
2 eyes are not enough it seems!!
