Why is life not like a k-drama?

Come on, I know you're judging me, even just a lil bit, for liking k-dramas. I'll tell you why I'm absolutely intrigued by them, then I'll let you judge me...

You can't call me a connoisseur of k-dramas, for sure.


My sister, however, has watched countless shows and knows the get-go of relationships, plotlines and its potential endings, from the beginning of an episode. That's who I call an expert.


But out of the four shows I've almost finished, it's obvious as HECK as to why I like them, why I'm drawn into their world and into their relationships.


My personality, being an idealist and a hopeless romantic at the same time, is an explosive mix of longing and fantasmical imagination.


And when I watch these k-dramas that have so precisely and so atmospherically captured my hopelessly romantic imagination, I absolutely fall head over heels into their reality, just dreaming of when I'll have those moments that I can call my own.


Basically, all you need to know is that the relationships that form between the characters/the love interests of the show are just so pure and caring.


That's it.


It's the way they look at each other, think about each other, ask if the other got home safe, if they've eaten, the little affectionate gifts they buy each other, the late-night calls and early morning walks to uni together.


That's all I need.


I'm just a naïve little hooman that wants to hold hands with someone.
