It was 2 years ago that my friend from Mizoram, who lives in the college hostel, got dvds of Full House... The famous South Korean drama starring RAIN and Song hye gyo... At first when i went over to the hostel and heard them talk excitedly about these dramas they were watching, i laughed it off... Moreover, I didnt leave any chance i got to tease them about it.. Little did i know, that very soon i would be at the other end, being teased endlessly by anybody and everybody i know, about this latest addiction of mine...
It turns out that it took me only ONE SCENE to fall in love with these dramas...
I started with korean, n then went on to watch mandarin dramas n now i even watch japanese dramas!!!!
Well, i dont know what it is about these dramas.... They give u those happy moments and then make you cry... I guess, its because the stories are woven finely and characters sketched impeccably. You take an instant liking to the characters who are so relatable and the stories which, at times, may be dramatized but are mostly enrapturing.. It successfully keeps you hooked... Besides, unlike most shows on TV, these shows have an END.
The stories are about happiness, hope and true love (the ones I watch, if I might add)... At the same time, they are well researched and impart knowledge to you about a wide variety of things, professions and people such as Pasta, Musicians, Patissieres etc, whatever the drama may revolve around. Moreover, it opens up avenues to learn about an all new culture. I mean, the media of any country is probably one of the best ways to explore its culture after all!
Honestly speaking, im glad i found this obsession.. It is one thing that has helped to keep me going even when the going got tough.. Though all the incessant ridiculing embarrassed me earlier, now I have no qualms in admitting-
I LOVE DRAMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
