Procrastinating + No longer addicted Don't feel like touching the pile of books at the corner of my desk, those books which I must open in order to begin the mammoth task of writing my dissertation! I have left my dissertation alone for a long time since school started. I intended to use this week, ie. my holiday week to complete the first draft or at least progress significantly in it. But looks like I'm being boggled by this huge spirit of procrastination over me. Sigh. Well, want to hear a good news? I'm no longer addicted to drama anymore! Yay. Should I say I've seen enough dramas to know that all dramas are more or less confined to those few types of plots? Perhaps. Haha. But I'm still tuning in to one drama, so that's 1 hour per week spent on drama now. And that is Roseate Love by Rachel Liang Wen Yin. I like its use of voice-overs in this drama, which makes the focus of the drama not just on the action (which is so overused already), but rather the inner voice of the character. The focus is on the inner struggles and conflict of the character and that is made open to audience. The things shared by the character are so close to heart in real life! It's just like you can identify with the emo-ness of the character because you have thought about the same things before. It really made me cry alot. But of course I don't deny that the action plot is very conventional, talking about this guy who protects Rachel Liang's character in the drama but he himself is a wounded creature. But you know what? I like to see growth in the characters of a drama. That is my definition of a "good" drama. From someone who dwell in self-pity (the male lead) until he gains courage from Rachel Liang's character and using it he breaks through and forgives his own mother, until he is willing to do anything for his mother, you see a man who started selfish but end up selfless. That inspired me to continue watching this drama. It doesn't just make you feel good. It make you think about your own life. I also believe that the plot maybe deliberately made to be conventional, so that the inner struggle part in the drama can stand out. My personal opinion. I believe this is why "Fated to Love You" is such a hot drama. It doesn't make you feel good only. It makes you think about your own life too. Also "Knock Knock Loving You" and this drama.
