why do i like cliche asian dramas?

i am an asian and i love cliche asian romance dramas. you may take this as no surprise , but there are (surprisingly), actually many many many asians who despise them :(

first argument against: they are so cliche i know how it's going to end from the beginning. why watch it?

i totally agree . it's obvious that the two arch enemies will fall for each other the moment they open their mouths searching for an insult. but the journey is more important than the destination - everyone knows that a vacation ends back at home, but you wouldn't skip the vacation altogether will you? it's the emotional experience you are anxious for :) 

don't you just love watching them bicker and fall for each other? it makes me believe that the world is a good place :')

second argument against: the acting is horrible

maybe the acting IS horrible , but i believe the plot is much more important than the actors. after all, i AM meant to be as superficial as my stereotype goes and awe at the handsome boys?

third argument against: it's too cliche. it will never happen in real life, it's so fake!

. . . all the more reason to enjoy the drama?! i am not stupid enough to genuinely believe that a prince charming will one day find me and take me for his princess, but don't all girls at some point in their lives imagine what their life would be like if it really did happen? there's no harm in thinking. 

when i watch such dramas, i am in an 'prolonged disbelief' phase . isn't everyone? i sit there and watch the lives of some people play before me and marvel at the concept of love . it is BECAUSE i cannot witness these events unfolding in reality that us 'fobs' (according to a certain friend of mine - no criticism intended) resort to an artificial reality . . .

自私鬼

烦死了.
 
Harmony,你太自私了. 就像左以泉 (吴尊) 在花样少年少女最后一集曾说过:
这一天还是到了. 该来的总是会来的. 我是该勇敢的去面对 ... 我不能总是这么自私, 自己享受着瑞稀所付出的爱。 虽然我想一直维持着这种偷偷爱着你的感觉 ... 可是这种感情不应该由我自己一个人来决定啊. 这样对瑞稀太不公平了. 我 ... 是不是该诚实的告诉瑞稀呢?
我跟泉不同的地方就是我却不在说男女朋友的关系.
我已经享受了你们俩的爱一年了. 在这一年 ... 我享受的是我付出的两倍, 我心情什么样就跟谁说话:  我拥有了一个不公平的选择. 现在, 我一直躲不了的一天到了. 我的感觉很紊乱 ... 脑袋一边早就预计到这天, 另外一边一直傻傻的让我相信会有奇迹, 是我想多了.

如果我真的知道这一天会来, 为什么我现在脑袋那么烦? 我不是已经想好会做什么吗?
好, 如果瑞稀亲口问, 我会勇敢的告诉他 ... 告诉他我一直都知道他是女生 ... 而且 ... 也一直偷偷爱着她. 不管我们之后会有什么变化, 我绝对不要再自私的操控我们的感情. 瑞稀 ... 是有权利知道的. 知道我 ... 一直偷偷爱着他.
哎哟, 现在问题是有一个昨天已经亲口直接问啦! 我没有勇敢地对他说我的真心情, 也没有说谎. 我只能拖累时间,给我自己两天时间反省一下. 我该怎么办啊! 一边有些人不太友好, 但另外的都对我很好 - 我跟他们说什么都行. 另外一边的人跟我挺像的, 傻傻怪怪的. 他们会很开心的欢迎新同学进入他们的朋友圈, 但是我觉得跟他们在一起好像有点 ... 怎么说呢? 不自在. 我根本都不知道哪一边对我影响最大.

现在写完这篇话之后, 感觉比以前差不多. 我想, 我可能只会再一次逃避, 跟两方说我都爱他们.

As William E. Gladstone once quoted,
Selfishness is the greatest curse of the human race.
