Couple Pairing Syndrome
Saturday, October 22, 201110:55 AM

Oh for the love of God, I'm diagnosed, AGAIN, with another drama syndrome. Try reading the post's headline and you'd know what I'm talking about. Besides from my drama syndrome, I have this thing with a drama's couple. Right after watching the show and being overtly obsessed about it (I mostly watch rom-com dramas, btw)  I start pining for the two main leads to get together in real life. I mean, seriously. I become this frekazoid who raids Google in searching for anyone who's with me on this thing and practically dig up any hint of dating rumors. I'm so full of gossip sites and crazy fan girls who think the same I do. Yay for us!

And then when I find out they're going where I want them to, I explode in a thousand pieces of blissful happiness. Now I've supported this couple a few years back and right this minute, they're back on track in my radar:

Kudos for Inoue Mao and Matsumoto Jun! As you can recall, they both starred in the hit jdorama Hana Yori Dango from early 2005. I used to be so stuck in a bind for that drama. I literally breathed Makino and Domyouji then. Since HYD's airing, these two have been involved in continuous dating rumors. Well, who can they blame if they look to close to each other. Apparently, they display an intimate atmosphere whether it be in front of the camera or just behind the scenes; and it really looked like they know too much of each other. It's my love so sweet. :"> Oh shit, fangirling attack coming up, but not before I finish this entry. And so yeah, and to this day, dating rumors are still broiling this on-screen couple. Well, it's mainly because of matching outfits that people notice while living their oh so bustling lives. I'll treat myself to Haagen Dazs when this couple finally happens. :) HWAITING!

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.

Yes or No?

I'm still not sure if the ever dreaded drama addiction syndrome caught up with me yet. If it does, I'll be held responsible since (WHAT AM I DOING RIGHT NOW?!) I'm here, in front of this lousy old personal computer checking out if Seunghun Song playing Park Hae Young in My Princess has any romantic relationship with Tae Hee playing as Princess Lee Seol refering to the titular Princess of the drama. I'm digging, so I'm experiencing the pinches of finding out. Well, what can I do? It's just that they LOOK SO GOOD TOGETHER. GAH! They're like the perfect gorgeous couple. Honestly, it makes you lust after the same relationship as they so awesomely portrayed in the drama. I feel like crying. AND WHY CAN'T I FREAKING STOP LISTENING TO BEST SONG IN THE DRAMA'S OST? What, once again, is wrong with me? Huh?

There, blame them, BLAME THEM!!!

Why are they such a freaking cute couple anyway? And why can't they just fall in love with each other? HUH? What's up with that?

Ugh, enough banter. Just watch the drama. It's great :) To all My Princess die hards (I'm NOT a die hard okay? I'm just a decent... wtf, OKAY I'M SUCH A FAN.) they say, there will be a part 2? I dunno, but there's a possibility (When you view Seunghun's profile in Wikipedia, on the list of drama's he's done, there's My Princess 2. I don't know if the one who listed that just desperately wants a sequel, or whatever, but I sure do hope they do that. So HaeSeol couple, FIGHTING!

Aigoo...
Thursday, March 31, 20111:39 PM

I have just finished watching Brilliant Legacy, or as it is known in the Philippines, Shining Inheritance. I've been wanting to watch this drama for a long time already and since I only had the chance to do that now, I bought the DVD and topped it off in 3 days. I went so crazy about Lee Seung Gi and Han Hyo Joo's pair up that I went ahead and watched some unsubbed spoiler scenes in Youtube (my bad). But then, my point is, since it doesn't have any english subtitles and I have no idea why they're crying or doing those, it wouldn't take the kilig factor off everything. Well, since I knew their clothing and because of the preview after every episode, I kinda know what would happen and that unfortunately disappointed me a little bit. (Look at me, complaining when it's all my fault.)

I'm okay, I'm okay. Aishh... no I'm not. Now that I've finished it, and I knew the ending and I'm sitting here in front of the monitor and typing this up while listening to Crazy in Love by Jisun (the best OST in the drama) I'm like blah deep inside. I knew this would happen to me anyway, I tend to get this drama addiction syndrome after finishing a drama I really really like. When I'm still watching the drama, I get this feeling that makes me leave everything. Like, I'm not myself anymore and I'm actually living the life the characters have in the drama. I usually neglect myself during these stages; not caring at all if I eat less (because I eat fast so I can immediately go back to watching especially since my dad is a bit strict in eating dinner or lunch) or I rested.

And then I also start acting like the Korean actress in real life. Like, I'm overeacting something and I also adapt their way of speaking, usually answering 'ye' when my mom asks me something instead of saying yes. And then I start checking my phone on the Seoul time in the World Clock application. After I'm finished watching, I go blank. Then comes all the problems in this syndrome thingy. I start getting sad for no reason. You might thinking I'm crazy but I do. I get this faraway look and I'm just... I don't know, lost? I start thinking about the kilig events, and then I feel this irritating sinking feeling in my heart. Maybe because my life is not like the drama's? And worst yet, I cry also. (Just when I totally feel hopeless and I feel like I can't get enough of the drama. Wooh, addicted much.)

And then... I also go internet stalking. HAHAHA. That's the most fun part. I get so addicted that I'm even stalking the Korean actors and actresses. (Mostly the male leads.) But then, I also get so sad when I come upon dating topics and ideal girl talk on some forums. I mean, when you watch a drama that takes you at least 2-3 days to finish, don't you just get attached to the actors? You feel like you know them personally and yet, you also know that they're not at all what they are in the drama? They live totally different lives. Wouldn't you want to ship the couple in the drama? Partly, that's one of the reasons I get sad once I finish watching a Korean drama. Because in Korea, they don't repeat love teams in dramas no matter how some people totally love the pair up. (I love everything about Korea, especially when I'm obssessing over their nationals, but I hate that part of it.)

Hmm... what stage am I now? I have no idea... Maybe, I'm not too far gone. Hah. Who am I kidding. Sooner or later, I'm going to feel the weight of it. When I'm alone, I'm probably going to think of it and go melancholy about it. Start acting like an emo and stare at the window with that pained, far away look in my eyes. That sucks. Only drama actresses do that. It's not like I have some major problems like scheming step moms and missing brothers. Nor do I have a converted rich grandson caring for me. Gosh. How I wish I could live a drama worthy life someday. I want a love story like that. Hmm... wonder if it would come true? Haha.

PS

Yay! I'm going to start a 30 day Kdrama challenge! LOOL. Ya. I just realized that's like, one month. One month of posting favorites. Hope I'm not prejudiced. Original posts will be in Tumblr, but I'll put the same posts here too. :) Kekeke. I'm so happy.
