The Late Night Dramas

I once loved Korean dramas, actually I initially hated them, screeching female voices made my ears bleed (you did this Boys Over Flowers!), and then they grew on me. I came to love them so much so that my Asian drama capacity was overloaded with only K-dramas with no room for what used to be a Japanese drama obsession. Tonight I was in the mood for some romance, over the top comedy and tears. SO MUCH TEARS. Well that mood quickly came and went as I sat watching some recent dramas. Its not like anything changed with them. Nothing ever changes. Clichés remain, leads are as good looking as ever, drama ensues, love triangles, blah blah…you get the point. The kissing has improved though – less dead pouting stiff fish and more lip action.

Anyhoooow, dramas now frustrate me. They used to be a real pleasure to watch but now its tiresome and boring. The ironic thing is that the dramas I’m currently watching would have been something I loved a few months back. If its one thing I hate are love triangles (a sign that Kdramas aren’t for me, these things are present in ALL). It sucks even more when I love the second male lead more than main a.k.a Second Lead Syndrome. S.L.S doesn’t occur often with me but its annoying to see the nice guy (second lead) always be put in the friend zone and the spoilt, annoying, jerk end up with the girl because he suddenly had a change of heart. Oh joy! -__-

Honestly its this one drama that seems interesting but because it follows this cliché, I am unmotivated to keep watching. Shinning Inheritance had the same thing but I really liked Lee Seung Ki, he’s so freakin’ adorable. x) But that was a while ago and even then I felt sympathy for the second lead.

It sucks even more when I love the second lead, he’s seems so sweet, even if a bit odd and the main lead is an asshole with no redeeming qualities. The girl is obviously going to choose the jerk and I like her so WHHYYYYYY?!! Hmm I seemed to have lost my logic somewhere, just because I like the female lead is not enough reason to actually question her taste in men. But I’ll still do it. I’m not naming the drama because I’m prematurely judging it here, I’m only on episode 4. ^^;;

Maybe the male lead will redeem himself in the future episodes, I hope he does because I’ll be so pissed after I finish this series and dramas are my feel good entertainment dammit! The sad thing is not only do I have Second Lead Syndrome but I love the supporting male character the most. He’s so fucking cute and sweet. Damn lead, why you got to be a rich, spoilt, asshole?! Ah well its the change I’ll be rooting for.

I should never blog at 2:30 in the morning, my lacking writing skills have seemed to slip even further down an abyss of no return. DRAMAS HAVE TAUGHT ME TO BE SO MELODRAMATIC. *TEARS*
