I currently have too much time on my hands, almost considering a binge re-visit to ‘Boys Over Flowers’ (the 2nd drama I ever watched) since so many beanies are discussing it. Someone stop me!
… I’m convinced. The first time I watched it, it was like crack (I skipped a midterm in math to watch it instead). Somehow, it still has some of that draw to me even years later (please don’t judge!). I was still very, very green to dramas, but maybe time will be the factor that makes me see BOF for what it really is? I still remember though, that when I watched it for the first time, I finished it and screamed “THAT’S IT?!” (apologies to my old roommate for the 3am wake-up…) because I was new to kdramas, and not used to one season shows. I guess it is time to learn from past mistakes though? (Or at least, that is how I will rationalize this binge)
Wow – you skipped midterms? But prolly me also if it Math lol. I’m watching it first time and Jandi is really annoying, the plot holes are as insane yet I can understand the crack factor. Enjoooy the ride!
Yeah, I was honestly, supremely, lucky. My professor allowed us to drop 1 test (besides the final) no questions asked, and I was doing well in the class. I had been in a really tough spot in my personal life, and needed a break from everything. Dramas allowed me to vent in a much more positive way than I probably would have otherwise.
