Yo!
OH MY FUDGE
OMG
*insert every possible curse combination here*
I don't even know where to start. This Korean Drama is absolutely mental! It's blowing my mind into tiny little Lilah Gran clones, each one trying to decipher every clue, every move, every twist, in every episode!
Seldom does a show, a movie, or a book, captivates me to such extent. Usually, nothing surprises me anymore. I get bored. My mind can coordinate with the author's, and somewhere along the line, I get what he's trying to deliver. I can usually foresee the ending. Well, 75% of the time at least I am right.
I probably haven't even watched that many movies, or encountered that many plot twists, but I always paid attention... to the details. I can always just tell. Like a gut feeling. And I always perceived it as common sense.
I like a story that will confuse me, that will spark a connection. That's why I have never entertained the ordinary. May it be in any aspect of my life. I've always craved for something extraordinary. It doesn't come often, but when it does, it pulls me in like a magnet. And that's the only time I can answer "Yes, it was absolutely amazing! I loved every bit of it!" on the question "Is it good? Did you enjoy it?"
When people ask me to rate a film I just watched, rarely if not never, I give a ten. Perhaps I nourished such a high standard to everything, but believe me, the high was worth it. When it hits you, it hits bigtime. It leaves a mark that lasts.
That's why I love art, especially abstract, because it attracts confusion. I like to confused. I like the drama. I like the adrenaline rush. I enjoy it. I dwell in it.
This Korean Drama is totally different from any K-Dramas I have watched before, or (actually) any show I've every watched IN MY ENTIRE LIFE... period. I have never seen anything like it. I can't even begin to explain how I feel about it. It's just... magnificent. It's a masterpiece!
The plot from the very start is already unique in its nature. That made me both excited and worried. Sometimes, shows with a good backdrop turns out to be such a disappointment. But this drama is an exception. Every episode is a healthy dose heart attack. Every episode contains a whirlwind of plot twists. As early as Episode 3/4, I remember pausing and thinking, "This can't be Episode 3/4! This has to be the MAJOR twist. This can't be happening as early as this. The show has 13 more episodes left!" But then it keeps on happening, over and over again. In every episode, the twists get bigger and bigger. It's become a whirlwind of events that I had to wonder if the writers got confused themselves. Well, I would have if it were me.
It's taking over my brain cells. I, seriously, for once after such a long time, have no idea how the story will end. It's the first time after a long time that I have missed a detail. It's the first time after such a long time that I gasped on big reveals. And a first after a while that I had to stare blankly at the wall because WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED, OMG!
FINALLY, I FEEL LIKE AN ACTUAL AUDIENCE.
I feel subordinated.
I feel weak.
I feel vulnerable.
I feel defeated.
I feel captivated.
And that's always been the way to get my attention.
It is mental! So mental!
It is so good I wish I have written it myself!
I have to stop here, I have about 5 more episodes to go, and I am going INSANE!
