Love, Tears, Drama

I am trying to watch every single thing I have dled and it's proving to be quite a task =_=; Right now I'm 4/6 episodes with Koizora, which is basically a high school love story that concerns one of the lovers dying from cancer. I still cry even though the storyline is very cookie-cutter-romance (in my opinion) 'cause I just like crying watching sad things. I know how the story is going to end, but still I keep watching it. Right now I feel like I'm forcing my way through it, but it's not like it's a terrible drama, just not exactly one that has any new material. I guess if you're really, really bored and want to cry over something, it's one to watch. Personally, 1 Litre of Tears and SekaiChu are my top disease-afflicted tear-jerking dramas, nothing else has really topped these two. I would be crying nonstop after every episode almost.

I think after watching all those Korean dramas that have someone dying of leukemia or something, I've just grown kind of bored of similar plot-lines. So when a drama comes up with someone dying of cancer and it being a love story of such, I don't really get into it, I kind of just watch it since I enjoy the genre, but not necessarily 'cause I'm so in love with the story or something.

Also, watched Atsuhime episode 36 today and the ending made me cry. I just cry at everything =_=; Watching as Tenshoin burned everything affiliated with her past due to having everyone suspect her was so sad. I am so glad I started watching this drama, I've loved every moment of it. Edo is one of my fave Japanese eras when it comes to history (I love the warring era pre-Edo just as much) so anything associated with it is for me.

Let's see... also watched Code Blue episode 09 today and have Tomorrow episode 08 to continue on. Code Blue turned out better than I thought it would. I was not exactly impressed by the first episode, but slowly it started to grow on me. I still like Tomorrow, but I can't say that I like it better than Code Blue. I guess both dramas are good in their own respect; one is about interns in a training program while the other is about a hospital needing reformation in order to bring more money back to the small seaside town. I can't seem to favor one over the other anymore since they're equally good.

Ah... I've been trying my best to watch Itazura na Kiss in Taiwanese =_=; I think I must be a masochist, because I keep watching it even though it's painful on me =_=. I am not a sappy romance person for the majority of the time. I am only a sappy romantic once in a blue moon. I can read romance no matter how mawkish or trashy it is, but whenever I hear it said out loud in movies, anime, drama, or cds, I just cringe. Hearing people saying the words "I love you," seeing flowers bloom everywhere, and all those embarrassing special effects always seem to annoy me =_=; (Or I guess.... it's make my skin crawl?) It's like ... I've decided to hate "love" =_=; That or... I've read so much Japanese material that I'm starting to think like a Japanese man =_= ... Yes, a Japanese man =_=; Only foreigners use the word "love."

I wonder has the lack of feminity caused my thoughts to become more masculine =_=; Then again... I've always been weak when it comes to watching something sappy. (Weak as in "it makes me sick" and not as in "melty, floaty"). Like in middle school and high school, I was one of those "Boys should just die" kind of girls. I guess right now, I'm not exactly a big fan of men either =_=; They kind of piss me off =_=; And I have no explanation for it.

Still... I continue to watch sappy, romance dramas despite what pain it causes me =_=; Maybe this is a sign that I should go out and find myself a man =_=; But I love my independence... Relationships are time-consuming and I enjoy my time alone. *sigh*
