My Drama Habits

Welcome to a new blog!

Today I am here to talk and

complain about my drama

habits because most of

them aren't really

liked by me.

Let's start!

Skip forward

I used to do this a lot but now I don't

do it as much anymore because of

the next point. I   actually even did

that with one of my fav dramas be-

cause I watched it when I was really

busy in 2018 and had an exam but

couldn't stop watching so I skipped

a few boring parts at the beginning

of the drama haha. Anyway, I still do

it when people talk about business

which I do not care about or any

characters annoys me too much for

example.

2x speed

Back in January I started watching

my on hold dramas and as there

were some which I didn't really like

that much I started using double

speed and I got addicted and used

to it. It's just that recently I felt like

most dramas were so slow so that

I'd usually end up skipping forward

but 2x speed is better because you

do not miss anything. Now it is

difficult for me to watch dramas in

normal speed and I can only do

that if I really enjoy the drama and

it doesn't drag in any episode.

Getting into a slump

This sounds hilarious but it's true.

I had my first real slump last year

which was for a few months but

then got over it until I got into a

short slump at the beginning of

January of this year & ever since

then I basically was in a short

slump like every 2nd week :joy: . I

just have really weird moods and

no matter what drama I try I can't

get completely out of my slump

so I'm just trying to hang on with

my 3 ongoing dramas to survive

but other than   that my drama

watching recently is sad. I have

been in a Korean slump for a

while and it doesn't seem like it

will stop anytime soon so I am

getting used to it...

Easily bored

I think this has to do with a point

I talked about in another blog:

that I am picky. I get more picky

the more dramas I watch and I

am not easily satisfied anymore,

especially in my slump times. I

get bored with good dramas just

because they are not perfect. I

look at how many minutes are

left in webdramas where an ep

only has   like 10 minutes 🤦‍♀. I

hope to be able to stop this one

day because I do not think I can

continue watching dramas like

this.

Looking at my phone

What is also connected to the

easily bored aspect is the fact

that I get easily distracted by

my phone   and    answer     to

messages, just scroll through

Amino or even play a   game

while watching. This wouldn't

be that much a problem with

Kdramas as I at least under-

stand some words/sentences

but uhm I watch Thai, Chinese

and Japanese   recently   and

understand like one word so I

need to go back & read again

what   they   said   so    that   I

understand it. Sometimes I'm

too lazy to do that tho lol.

Play my music in drama

I started doing this with a long

drama I watched which started

to drag a bit and I didn't realize

any music in the entire drama

so I put a song I loved there &

all I can say that it made the

most boring parts   epic   and

exciting :joy: . I have not done it

that much yet   because it is

kinda new to me but I feel like

it will become a habit because

I love listening to music more

than anything else so listening

to that as the background in

dramas is amazing. I mean I

wouldn't feel the need to do it

in dramas with amazing OSTs

but yk there are some dramas

where I'm just like "was there

any music" or "I didn't like any

song in here".

Watch fmvs

Yeyy, finally a good habit! :joy: I

used to not watch fmvs at all

but   I started    doing    it   in

March last year due to not

getting over a drama & ever

since then I looOooooovve

watching them & do it more

and more often because of

my slump. I enjoy to watch

fmvs   of   dramas   which   I

know I won't watch because

I can't get spoiled and I love

the feeling of watching them

after you finished a drama &

everything again.

Last night for example I just

randomly    watched     fmvs

after midnight & let me just

say that I'm so thankful for

the people   who   put their

time and effort for putting

all these clips together and

making brillant mvs.

P.S.: I think some of these could be called my habits as well🤔.

I'm sure I'd have found some other habits too if I would've thought a bit longer about it but these were just what came to my mind.

Tell me yours in the comments!

Bye, until next time :wave:
