In my previous post on 'Manee Dan Suaan', I talked about how I couldn't care for the main couple because I didn't understand how they came to supposedly love each other. That got me wondering, what makes in you tick in a drama romance? Some people go for fairytales complete with rainbows and stardust while others prefer watching the trails and ( Read more... )

My first thought when getting ready to write this post was 'meh, what a lackluster drama year' and it certainly feels so with me stuck in this drama slump with no apparent end in sight.

I seem to have hit a wall in writing. I have half written reviews of '99 Days with a Star' and 'Team Batista 3: Ariadone No Dangan' on my folder but I'm having problems putting my thoughts into words. Hmm, sometimes I think it's easier to trash a show I hate than comment on one I like.

I've been marathoning HK drama The Other Truth and the past few episodes have been so tense and rage inducing (we have bad cops in cahoots with the triads killing a good cop and framing innocent people) it gave me a headache. I want to continue watching to see how the bad guys get their asses busted but I think my head might burst first so ( Read more... )

I suddenly realise it’s not that I haven’t been watching tv lately, it’s just that I’ve been spending most of my evenings after work watching crime dramas since getting paid tv a couple of months back. CSI: Las Vegas/Miami/NY, Criminal Minds, Law & Order:SVU/Criminal Intent, The Glades, Numb3rs … heck, I even watched the episodes of Sherlock and ( Read more... )

This space has taken a backseat 'cos I had been buried under a mountain of work for the past month. I catch up on whatever tv I can but there's no motivation to write lengthy responses anymore. Hmm, let's see what I've covered since my last post ( Read more... )
