I know this sounds stupid, but I am falling into a "Post Drama Depression", if there is such a term.
For the past 3 days, I have been watching Goong, also known as Princess Hours, and I managed to conquered all 24 episodes (with each episode lasting 1 hour odd) with minimal breaks.
Though the show (which was adapted from a comic) was written based on some element of fantasy and imagination, it does reflects on how the lives of the existing royal families are like, the difficulties they have and the problems they face.
As I was watched the the show, I was reminded of the late Princess Diana; how hard it was to for her to adapt to life in palace, and how difficult to live a life of your own when the world is watching you. Being a member of the royal family is not as great as you think it is. Just look at the Japan Royal Family and the British Royal Family.
Now that I have finished watching the entire show, I am feeling a little sad and lost; Sad that the show has ended (the ending was a little abrupt and ambiguous), Lost because ... I have no idea why either. Oh, and a little empty too.
It is an "after-effect" feeling that is hard to describe. This usually happens after watching Korean shows. Somehow Korean shows that are classified under romance and comedy has that kind of effect, like "Full House" and "My Girl".
I guess the success behind these shows lies in the secret of including what we look forward to having in reality, but have minimal control of. Scenes which often dream of, but have limitations in achieving.
Conclusion
Shows that capture our attention and have us addicted, are probably thoughts and reflections of our inner self.
Note: I will do the ratings of the show next time, even though I know most of you would have already watched it (since Channel U has been airing it for the 3rd time in such a short period of time and that Channel 55 has also shown it before).
Maybe I'll do a consolidation of the dramas that I have watched, together with some books i have read, but only when I am really really free. I have lost 60 hours of time to the "living the life of a royal family member". It's time I catch up on reality.
