at long last, i'm at the 2nd last vcd of winter sonata, a korean drama serial. it's the first time i'm watching such a long drama on vcd and a foreign one too. thought of giving it a try after hearing a good review from a friend of mine. each vcd is at least an hour long and there were quite a few comments about korean dramas being very draggy and long winded. even my sister is amazed at my patience for sitting through 18 discs!!

i pity the actors and actresses who have to brawl their eyes out every now and then throughout the drama serial. disc 18 seems to be the highest point in the movie where all emotions are let off. i can imagine my friend who watched the drama already hugging her box of kleenex and sniffing till her eyes turn red. fortunately, i'm not one of those who would cry my heart out when watching a movie/show. seems kinda embarrassing eh?
