Ghost

Al...right, this is a non-photography related stuff, but I just finished the drama Ghost today. It's a Korean drama about Cyber police.
And boy was it good.
But the weirdest thing was that I really, really have this weird affinity with the main antagonist in this drama (maybe I do have a bit of a bad nature?) and it's like I can associate to the reasons why he did all of the bad things he...well, did. It's something that is pretty common actually. The main reason of their actions are:

1. Revenge for a loved one.
2. Same as above.

I mean, if my dad was framed for something he did not do, I would do... stuffs to a pretty damned extent to the framer.
Oops. My evil mind has just took over.

But in this drama, I feel that the condition and the reason of his evilness was so unfair (to him). I honestly hoped that before justice is put in place, he would get a taste of real victory, of what should rightfully belong to him, but he eventually have to pay for his crimes. But the fact is that the ending for his time is really, really sad (I definitely cried).
I'm on the good guys' good side, but honestly, it's sorta unfair :'(

Ah! And this is a drama that really grasp my feels even though there are no romance involved. Well, there are some romance, of course, it's a Korean drama for crying out loud, but it's surprisingly very minimal and insignificant I can actually focus on the cases. I am a big fan of Korean-related things (there, I confessed) but I surprisingly cannot stand watching past episode 8 of a love or romantic comedy drama. It applies to Western series too, I can't stand watching Glee past the 12th episode of season 2. I'm only able to finish detective-related series THAT HAS MINIMUM LOVE STORY. I mean, I prefer Castle than Bones, because in Castle, even though it's obvious that Castle and Beckett totally have sparks for each other, it's not very much highlighted during the whole series, so it's fun to watch. 

My defenses are that in mid-series episode, the main problem and the next problems to come are far too cliched and to expected, but the plot is being prolonged unnecessarily sometimes. I mean, sometimes I get a bit emotional with the push-and-pull thingy on most of Korean drama love stories; dude, you like her, she likes you, grow some balls and confess and marry and have tons of kids, okay.

Um. I guess I do have a bit of a potential of being antagonistic.

Here's the glitch: the main antagonist is the only one with glasses. And hell, he was so very charming.
O...kay. Oops.
