Addiction

The other day I asked my husband what he wanted to be when he was young. He said he wanted to become a **** ( I am sorry it was a private conversation). However, it dawned on me that whatever was in his thought before, that was exactly who I wished to be with in the past. And it came as a surprise because I just knew it. I thought I would surprise him more with mine but I was so surprised with his that I did not tell him mine.

I had a weird one. I used to be involved in a school theatre when I was in form 2 and it sparked my interest in this so called acting. And then again, when I was in the primary school I was very good in story telling. It felt good to become someone else and tell a story about something.

So I always thought about; how does it feel like to be an actress?? Must be fun right??? ^_^ I get to play various kind of characters and become someone else from one play to another *dreaming***. *-^. I really think its fun provided that I do have a talent and the whole package of becoming one. But...that was just... a wishful thinking that would remain as such.Nope. It won't happen. :P

This is the real deal. Lately I have been watching korean dramas alot. I think it has come to the point of addiction. After watching quite a few, I noticed how I developed an interest or perhaps crush in some of the actors during those viewing and then how difficult it was to build another interest in a different drama if the casts were different.

So what I do was, after reading the synopsis I just needed to convince myself that it was good enough to view and I would start to follow on the series. Only when I opened up my mind for a new change and be more attentive did I again develop an interest in the drama and the whole cast. Sad to say looks does count. ^_^ Unless of course the character was supposed to be dumb and ugly but please not the actor. It's too much. hmmm...see how picky people can be....^_^

I found one interesting thing tho". There was one similiarity between drama and real life. It was the process of developing an interest to someone. It takes time. It takes time to like an actor from one drama to another. Its the same in real life. It takes time to like someone after liking someone else. We can't really have so many people we can consider as we "like". it seems like we are apt to go for specialization when it comes to a person. If his life seems to be dramatic enough?? :P and interesting enough to match your criteria, than you are going to like him. The key were: SLOW progress and ATTENTION required.

In a drama, I figured if the story line was catchy enough (fun, entertaining, interesting) and the chemistry between the main actor and main actress was good, then I could survive to watch the drama until the end. But of course, along the line I would become curious enough to know the background of the actors and if the chemistry was so good I would wonder if they were real life couple..hehe...emm.

So it was like having a crush from one person to the next. hahah. Its funny because I never had that kind of feeling towards film stars. Only now when I watched more drama do I understand a little bit about how does it feel like to be a fan. I am positive now that I am going to be a strong follower of micky Yoochon and Lee Min ho.. huhu :P

Actually, I am quite worried about my new addiction. It turns me into coach potato. I stay home the whole day worrying only about my next 2 meal (lunch and dinner) and the laundry. But its a bit difficult to curb it at the moment since I don't have much plan in a day apart from going off to work.

Right now, I am enjoying this much. Its fun to explore new things just by watching dramas. You get new ideas and if you are observant enough you will get to know which are the stars worth to watch again in a play.

Its a newfound world.

By the way, I am glad I am not an actress. Its a blessing to have a quite life.

I am blessed indeed.
