Happenings: Ever watch a show and then become obsessed with it?

[reader17]

I know everyone watches a movie and tv show and when it is over sometimes you will discuss it with others, or find the sound track and listen to the songs you really like.  But at the moment I think I am obsessed.  It could be just because I finished watching the last episode at 4:00am and now all day all I have wanted to do was listen to the music.  Find which songs I want and see if I can get them.



Here is what happened I got an Ipad2 a few months ago and realized that crunchyroll has an App so I downloaded the App.  I was just going to see what anime was on it, and check it out.  Well I clicked on Drama to see what was there, and there is Korean Show called Boys Over Flowers.  It had 25 episodes.  Now this is a manga that I have been reading over the years and still had 4 volumes left to read.  I started watching the drama just to see what it looked like in the App and was hooked.  Over the last 3 days I watched all 25 episodes.  Stayed up way to late for going to work the next day, and was actually kinda happy that it wasn't nice on Sunday I sat most of the day just watching it.  Now today I am out trying to figure out the songs I like and get them, and looking on Youtube for Amv's of the show.  I really liked it.  I think the characters that they got where really good for the leads (Jandi/Tsukushi) and (Junpou/Tsukasa).  Some of the story of course is different then the manga but for the most alot of it follows the manga.   In the middle of my marathon yesterday I stopped and read volume 34 and 35 of Boys of Flowers Manga.  Now I need  to find Vol 36 which is around here somewhere.  I don't think I will be able to rest until I find it to see if the manga ends the way the show did.  

Of course while checking out the songs I realize two or three of the main characters are also in the bands that made the songs for the show.  So I was checking on them and realize Jihu is also the lead in another drama called Playful Kiss (which is Itazura Na Kiss) which I have read the first few volumes and watched the anime.  Now I am just trying to hold off on watching it since I think I will be obsessed and I do have to work for the next two weeks. Wondering if I can hold off until Aug 3rd when I am offically unemployed.  (I highly doubt it since I am curious how this series turns out).



So I am wondering how many others get obsessed when they watch a movie or show and can't stop thinking about it. (hoping I am not the only one) :)

OOOOOOH KDRAMA! Don't get me started haha. I weaned myself off the k-juice a year or two ago. Very addictive! Some of those series have really amazing music pairings, gotta agree... I have an eternal obsession with these two awesome kdramas: Coffee Prince and Soulmate.

I've watched lots and lots and lots haha and tend to stay loyal to a handful of actors/actresses I enjoy. Other than that, quirky kdramas catch my attention. After years of watching I can't handle series that get too melodramatic (those tend to drag too much urk). DX Other ones I enjoyed were Hyena, One Fine Day, Goong, Alone in Love, Snow Queen... I'm thinking about watching a newish romcom called Big, because it has actor Gong Yoo in it. A little afraid, it sounds like a remake of that one Tom Hanks movie by the same name!

Is Boys Over Flowers your first kdrama? You'll have to tell me if Playful Kiss is any good! I watched the Japanese live action, but I definitely think the anime was best for Itazura na Kiss. XD

that happens to me all the time, but I guess I am just the type for it, I do not like to wait for the next episode, so most of the time I collect them all, and watch them in one go (nearly killed me when I did that with sailor moon, 200 episodes in one go with very little sleep, food, bath XD) so yes there are may crazy people out there XD and me is one of them ;-) rest asurred
