Enlightenment About DAS
Monday, April 11, 20115:43 PM
What is DAS??? It's Drama Addiction Syndrome, people. It's the feeling some people get (or maybe only myself) after finishing a drama that touched the watcher a little or too much that they start getting sad about it (especially that it's finished) and when the characters are starting to move on with their lives (the actors) and the drama is like history or something... And then the person starts to get emo and starts researching whether the drama couple ended up together or not. That's DAS.
Well, I think the main reason people diagnosed with DAS (such as me, or only me) act the way they do because they so wanted their lives to be what was depicted in the drama. Are you getting me? Sometimes, life can be too cruel and not everyone gets to live such exciting lives and get the perfect fairy tale ending. That's too rare nowadays, and the wound is especially too sore for teenagers. Well, not all teenagers look like goddesses that getting a boyfriend happens with a snap of a finger. We don't get that too easily.
So what happens is we (*ehem* I) put the load of our emotions on the characters and their actors. After all, wouldn't it be good if the lead couple would make their acting a notch realistic? Like real life? haha. Hope you get my point.
