T-Dramas - YUCK

Hear me clearly while I'm going to rant this out like a old man in angst mode.

TAIWANESE POP IDOL DRAMA SERIES SUCKS TO THE MAX.

This is not the first time that I'm saying this, and neither will it be my last. I'm spouting this all again because I simply can't stand watching my sister giggling on it for the past 2 days. I DON'T FOR THE BIG F'S SAKE UNDERSTAND WHAT'S SO FUNNY ABOUT IT.

Seriously, I don't see what's the attracting factor or hype behind these T-Dramas (as I put it for easier typing), nor do I understand why people can go crazy about them. Since well, I DESPISE them.

I'm not judging a book by it's cover. It's not even qualified to be called a book at all, and it can go and 'keep it's cover' (equivalent to Cantonese "sau pei" or Mandarinized, "sou pi" - keep skin, that is).

I tried watching one of them (all thanks to nothing-much-to-do-in-hometown during CNY), and out of the sickening boredom I ended up commentating to my relatives who were in front of the tube ala bad comedian style. Predicting the not-so-surprising plots and complaining that the characters are out of sync. In the end I eventually gave up and go play with the kids instead.

Lack of originality. Lack of common sense. Lack of a proper storyline. Lack of decent acting skills. Total FAIL being Japanese/Korean drama wannabes. And to make things worse, the spotlight is placed on those 'actors' who only have their 'looks' (what looks? Ughhh yuck) to sell to their audience. In simpler terms, they are just LOUSY and all they do is just making my skin crawl down right to my spine.

I cannot comprehend why T-Dramas exist. Maybe it's got the same reason as why porn existed - for visual desires. Like how people out there want to see skin, there are people who long for the looks of girly boys and the figure-out-of-shape girls.

Title causes goosebumps all over body. Storyline is as good as non-existant - for this you will have to watch for some time and it shall proof itself. And what character development ? More like it's the inverse of growth - retardation, I call it.

And every one of these stinky T-Dramas will have the similiar stuff in them.

Like how this character is a joke for doing some obviously stupid stuff and going emotionally down because of some crappy issues, like (most of the time) LOVE affairs. No problem becomes small problem, small problem becomes big problem, and big problem becomes a giant joke. Not as a element of humor, but as an ultimate humiliation towards the intelligence of mankind. And do take note that the fashion of those characters are most of the time, MUCH MORE HORRIBLE THAN UNDEATH. And wait till you see their fans wearing the same thing - I don't even want to recall what I see on the streets.

I mean, YES, this is a DRAMA, but there are LIMITS of being DRAMATIC. OVERDRAMATIC is just LAME, and them scriptwriters should be CASTRATED for their inability to balance out the elements and come out with a DECENT ORIGINAL storyline that actually WORKS. They really should go live a life and quit watching those Japanaese/Korean dramas and mimic what's inside.

Before I conclude my rant, I have this sudden thought in my mind - what if my future life partner is a T-Drama diehard fan ?

Oh snap.
