Unlikely

in Freewriters5 days ago



Lately, I don't feel very motivated to write. It's not because I am out of stories but I rather watch films and series. I try to schedule my time but winter makes me slower and next to that I want to do things I like now I spend most of my time inside. I started to continue watching the series "Dr Romantic" and so far I like it. It's not like the "Bouquet" series of cheap love stories (do those books still exist?). It's a bit ER and intrigues and a lot of anger. If I may believe the Korean series all Koreans are short-tempered. Is it true or? It sounds unlikely. Strange, how we are taught Asians are polite but all I see is a lot of alcohol-abusive behaviour (not in this series so far) and an anger you won't believe but is understandable. At least it is to me. It's better to spit it out instead of poisoning oneself and keep swallowing (I do believe this causes cancer as well, being dishonest to yourself, fooling and telling yourself you don't care, are happy and more of that nonsense, trust me "positive" thinking doesn't work. If that were the case not that many doctors, therapists, doctors, physiotherapists, mediators, life coaches and so one would be at work. Also interesting, how easy it is to empty the pocket of an unhappy person.).

So what I do from now on is what I like most and feels good to me. I watched some parts of the series with the app VIKI. Strange how good it works although I can frequently not load other sites.

I also watched the film: The Wild Robot @solperez wrote about. If you like a review you can have a look at her post. If you haven't seen this animation yet (Dream Works - Shrek! / Universal) you can watch it here for free: https://hdtodayz.to/watch-movie/watch-the-wild-robot-hd-114595.10704868

I feel quite restless when watching movies anymore because as I have observed myself, If I do watch a movie I would often just pause it to check on Facebook, the market, or even YouTube for that matter to look for YouTube videos that would be interesting for me to watch in the middle of watching a movie.

Well maybe because I am just watching most of movies with my laptop because it is more comfortable for me to do so rather than to sit on our living room but the reason is maybe that I had gotten bored of watching movies unlike in my younger years especially when we are just renting out VHS and later video CDs from the now non-existent video rental shops due to the onset of the Internet.

Anyway, like Korean movies especially the war movies, they really make great movies in South Korea like the romantic TV series which is why Korean personalities and even their food is popular here in my place. 😀👍 @wakeupkitty, I am wondering if you are a Korean or Chinese.

It sounds as if you have trouble to stay focused. I experienced the same if it comes to watching films on TV. We have commercials every 15 minutes for 10-15 minutes so it takes 4 hours of longer to watch a film (don't forget the news). I stopped watching TV years ago. Only have one left for gaming or watching videos (still have the VHS and the players) or CD and also have films on USB (stick into the TV) but I rarely use it these days. On my phone (still in bed) is easier and the VIKI app works great.

I am from a mixed family and one of my grandmothers is Chinese as well.

I watched some Chinese films and they are great too, also detectives. I believe the Koreans are more promoted and so is their food although it's with us perhaps in the cities but a china town you find in most capital cities and also Chinese shops. Next to that in the Netherlands, the Chinese restaurants were always present just like snack bars. Many snack bars are taken over by the Chinese as well. The Chinese restaurants are mixed with Indonesian food, a very smart step they made over 60 years ago, perhaps longer?

Perhaps you should try to watch series? The episodes are shorter. Some 20 minutes. Good to kill a bit time and set your mind off before you do something else.

You can give me a tip what you like and I see if I can watch it as well.
By the way: on youtube you can see episodes too.

A good Friday to you. I hope you are doing fine and your mom is as well.

I don't know but watching movies now in particular bores me a lot unlike when I was younger in the VCD renting days. I guess that I had "grown-up" enough not to enjoy movies anymore especially now that my favorite actors and actresses had grown old if not died or retired.

But also maybe because that I have no more companion to watch them too as my siblings which I always watch movies with before are no longer here in the house while my father would not watch movies with me. Both my parents are just watching Facebook videos now while I myself in quite enjoying the YouTube videos.

I can't recommend you to watch anything but Korean love stories they call "Koreanovela" are popular here in my place, young folks just likes Koreans not knowing that these actors and actresses really had undergone so much surgical procedures to their faces but regardless they offer lots of entertainment value for younger people.

I remember watching "House" because my brother had bought a big collection of its video CDs. It caught my attention because the series is focused on medical stuff and its quite enjoyable to watch back then. Now its different, I just watch online.

Enjoy your weekend too @wakeupkitty🌹🌹🌹

I have a regular program of watching videos also. But they are from the Indian culture. subtitles. Actually I'm learning Hindi using https://www.duolingo.com/. Great mental exercise learning another language.
This is the series I'm watching now.

I watched dr. Romantic 2 about 2-3 years ago because reviews said it's better than season one.

I liked the main doctor lead more than the junior doctors under him. He has such an aura.

How do you find this drama so far?

This season is officially the time for books and seasons only❤

Asians are polite

I'm curious who told you that,🤣. In fact people in Europe are way too polite generally as of what we have heard.

But Asians, you should come here and see yourself our politeness while we fight.
Koreans are just a bit exaggerated version of Asians.

So, you do watch Korean films.. I thought it was only Nigeria, they infiltrated with there movies. Nigerian ladies love there romantic movies so much. I am even surprised they have other genres of seasonal movies besides romantic movies because that’s what is flooding Nigeria market.

I do, especially now it's winter again and cold and most of the time I stay inside so I schedule my day and time. I can't sleep long so in bed is good to stay warm and not staring at the ceiling. I write or watch with my phone. Strangely enough so far the Viki app always shows a good quality even if I can't see sites or only text and no pictures.
Do you use VIKI app as well?
Which film or series do you like?

I’m more of the action fan… when it comes to movies. I do watch love movies but sometimes it makes me so emotional that is why I avoid them. Too old to start bringing out tears..

🤔

Are you too old to laugh as well or to feel excited or scared?

I don't like love movies in general and I can't say Dr Romantic is one. By now I am at episode 12 and it's more about a sick, narcistic doctor trying to break others to climb the ladder.
I doubt you will cry if you watch this.

It's also interesting to see how easily people forget why they became a doctor and how money changes everything.

🍀♥️

Wow! Good for you relaxing watching movie. I want to do like this bit honestly if I watch movie, I could not finish it. It made me sleep quickly. That's why I just watch the finale the start and the end. Hehehe.

Seriously? LOL How about watching a part and next evening you watch the next part? Don't ask.. . I have had times I watched an episode for over 2 weeks because I always fell asleep. The only film I can't watch is James Bond. I fall asleep and it's not interesting enough to give it a try again.

Hahaha, I am not interesting about watching movie, it made me fall asleep like I am riding in a car even I'm short time, my boss laugh at me when they heard me snoring

So you are always awake because you are snoring? How about your employer?

At least you have a good remedieif you can't sleep. 😁

🤗🍀♥️

What matters is, you're doing something that makes you happy.

It does, it's just that time goes fast and I never learned to take time for me so at rare occasions I still hear the voices of my parents shouting to be usefull.

Trust me, you're doing so well 😊

Oooh, I love the main doctor most of all, that's why I added the video with him. Dr Romantic is not interesting enough. I love it, it's way better than I expected and the story line is getting stronger and stronger. I believe I wrote you once that in average it took me 1 -3 episodes to get into the story. This one is the opposite. Watch season 1, don't believe what others say. Besides Rotten Tomatoes is also not what it used to be .

Come live with us and you will be a polite Asian as well. LOL
I agree most of us (not all Europeans but the Dutch are) are polite. Why? Because we are easily scolded and people loooove to say we discriminate (as if they don't discriminate - the one who shouts the loudest is the one doing it).

Are the Koreans an exaggerated version or just in the films?

Watch youtube videos of korean creators, as per their content, koreans in korean dramas are way too dramatic than they are in real life.

That's why we call it drama.

say we discriminate

Atleast you guys have opinions and say out aloud unlike Asians who shy away from many opportunities.

I have also found another difference in both continent's content creators. We lack creators who can voice their opinion publicly on a certain topic without emotions overshadowing us.

That's not the case there, right?

Saw the wild robot out of lack of anything better in the cinema with my sibling (birthday) and a 2nd film. Can't say I found it spectacular. It was okay. Added nothing new.

The k-drama is not my kind of entertainment. I watch more youtube. Short helps to schedule time and stay alert during the night
