There are tons of posts in the Internet about fangirls who watch too much dramas - we've all heard about the woman who lost her eyesight after a drama marathon, we've all experienced having last night's drama replaying in our head during lessons or work time, we've all suffered from lack of sleep and aching body parts (me after last Tuesday - 16 hour-marathon - my back still hurts from all the sitting). But there is a topic that I feel is still uncovered: What happens with fangirl who can't watch dramas for a longer period of time? So I'll try to write it down - based on my own experiences (work+uni+social life= drama watching) + Cypsis time in Portugal
1) You start to watch your own life like it's a drama. During first minutes of the first episode you understand it's a total crap and want to drop it.
2) You laugh less and get more easily depressed. It's easier to worry about the problems of a fictional character than your own. Also there's nothing funny about your real life.
3) You have 5 free minutes? Yes, let's watch this actor's picture the whole time.
4) You end up scribbling lists of "want to watch dramas" or "best dramas" or any other list to your textbook or work papers more seriously than you do your actual work.
5) You're becoming a mathematic genius thanks to all the "Tomorrow I can get home 6 PM and I have no commitments or plans. I have to wake up at 6 AM. So if I were to start watching Jdrama right away - 11 eps - 10 eps are 45 minutes, 1 is whole hour, meaning it all together is 510 minutes, making it 8 hours and 30 minutes. So I'd finish in the middle of the night and still could sleep for at least 2 hours." Your only miscalculation is that you fall asleep as soon as you hit your bed.
As you can see drama-watching is good for fangirls mental health. So whenever someone says it's bad for your health - tell them that it helps you to hold your sanity.

| The face that captures perfectly how it feels like to see/hear ultimate crap thankfully Bride of the Century wasn't anything crap-like |

| you mean writing drama lists isn't what my job is about? My whole life has been a lie. |
