What I've been watching, or rather, the lack of what I've been watching

[uisceros]

For the first time in, oh, more than a year I am completely and utterly clueless about currently airing dramas. I can only name about 7, which is INSANE.

On top of that, I'm only watching one (kinda).

I've been following You're Beautiful, if not necessarily watching it as it airs. I have all the episodes downloaded, but I've only watched one full episode so far. I'm still highly amused that it stars Jang Geun Seuk, who I previously only knew as a musician. I seriously didn't know he was an actor at all... when I first saw him, I was like ".... hey, 'Toucholic'!"

And, well, that's is. I occasionally download and watch random things. Like right now I'm trying Fantasy Couple. I tried watching Next Stop Happiness, but honestly, it was too baffling for me to watch without subs (and without the use of rewind and pause so I could read the Chinese). And I wasn't excited enough about it to download. So whatever. I'm not huge on family stories anyway (I really just don't like children in dramas [should probably make the "in dramas" part clear...]).

WHICH　REMINDS ME!

I wonder sometimes about this. I DO NOT consider myself having completely watched a drama if I've fast-forwarded through any part of it. But I know that some people do it. I don't know why though. I often find a lot of detail in the smaller parts. It's kinda like cheating to me. Like skimming a book and saying I've read it. (Of course I know different people have different watching styles, but I just can't do it that way)

I'm a completest to a fault. If I miss, or don't understand something, I will rewind and rewatch until I do (and believe me, sometimes it takes a lot of rewinding). I wonder if this is why it often takes me a long to watch stuff as compared to others.

We're getting residual typhoon rain, so it's been gross the past few days. Tonight we're going to chill and watch The Frighteners, and I'm going to drink some heavily sweetened Oolong Tea (not fancy tea, I wouldn't dare to sweeten that!). And tomorrow we might go to Alleycats for some good Western style pizza (WITHOUT　CORN, thank God... weird Taiwan and it's corn), and maybe some shaved ice (oh God, is shaved ice amazing, seriously, I wasn't too convinced at first, but seriously, the stuff is magic and so good).

再見, 我的電腦朋友!

I totally feel the same way about fast-forwarding. I'd be too worried that I'd miss a big reveal and then spend all sorts of time rewinding and ending up spending more time than I needed too. I just do not understand people who fastforward.
