daydreamer
I made a mistake the last time by not saving a copy of my entry before I published (hence it was gone, and I couldnt be bothered to write it again), so this time I'm following Farina's recommendation, writing it in MS Word first.
…..
Everytime I watch a good Asian drama (with a touch of romance in the theme), be it Japanese, Korean, or Taiwanese.. I always feel like I'm in la-la-land after I finish, meaning that I feel the effect of the drama still lingers on for a while. I don't know why.. I've always felt that Asian dramas are more touching than USA series, and of course sinetrons.. =P Even though they speak in languages I don't understand, with very little accuracy in the subtitles (or sometimes no subtitle at all!), I can still feel the emotions, the sadness, the joy, everything.. and as abg as it may sound, from then (FYI: I hold Indosiar fully responsible as my first point of contact to J-Dorama) to now.. even some time after watching, I can still reminisce the scenes that I like, while half hoping I can experience the same thing, something I never do even after watching the most romantic hollywood movies. But I guess it's just the daydreamer in me haha ^^
I guess it’s bit late to talk about this particular series I just watched, because it seemed like so last year.. Some facts to confirm that I’m just so last season:
1. It’s airing now on terrestrial TV (dubbed, so no fun there),
2. It has been “adapted” (read: dijiplak) to be a local sinetron—something that my sister has been complaining about for quite some time
3. My sister ( and I suspect all Korean drama freaks out there) has been talking about this series since months ago, and when she saw me watching it a few days ago, her comment was: “Kemane aje loe baru nonton sekarang??”
Oh well, better late then never, because I really enjoyed watching this particular series. The title is Princess Hours (only the Koreans know what they mean by that), and it’s a about this arranged marriage between a crown prince of the Korean kingdom, to a common girl (clumsy, frank, outspoken, that kind of stuff) from a very common family. I’ve always loved a story where the guy is cool and a bit rude and always have a fight with this open and outspoken girl, but then finally he falls in love with her. You know, the meteor garden kinda thing… which I guess almost every daydreamer likes, hence the many many series based on that sort of thing ^^;;
My sis just gave me another of her old collection, Full House (Korean), and Hana Yori Dango (Japanese version of Meteor Garden) for me to watch. You know what, I *think*, I just may be heading back to those drama marathon days.. abunaaaiii….!*
*Abunai = Dangerous (Japanese)
