RL is one big BLAH lately. Work is either boring or exhausting, no middle ground there. I have writer’s block the size of... I don’t know, something really big. Which makes me reluctant to sign up for Trick or Treat, and I was looking forward to that. I know it’s a low minimum exchange, but I feel like I can’t manage even 300 words of something readable these days. I still have three days to think about it, so we’ll see.
I think I’m going to put Nirvana in Fire away for now. Because somewhere along the way I got really invested in Mr. Sunshine (14 episodes watched as of now). And I don’t have mental space for two emotionally engaging new dramas at the same time. And Mr. Sunshine is shorter, so Mr. Sunshine gets finished first. :)
I enjoyed it from the beginning, but it was this normal level of enjoyment, like “it’s so nice to watch an hour of a well written and well-acted drama with an interesting plot each evening”. But around 7th or 8th episode it started to change and I started to care more and more. And now I’m all “oh wow, what will happen next” and “please, don’t hurt my favorite” and “when will they finally kiss”, and making heart-eyes at the screen. The drama already made me cry once. I expect it wasn’t the last time.
Funny thing is I didn’t really care for the main romance at first. I still think the main couple doesn’t really have that much chemistry. But there is something so delightfully frustrating in watching all this repressed pining and feelings expressed only in subtle words and just a few light touches, with a lot of gazing into each other eyes, mostly in tears, but sometimes with rare and beautiful smiles.
At this stage I will be disappointed if there is a happy ending. I want all the angst and drama and suffering. Give it to me, show. :D

Your reaction above particularly made me laugh because I know lots of people who looooved Mr Sunshine, and it's in my Netflix queue, but I keep putting it off for fear of an angsty ending. *g*

But yes, I agree with all those people to love it, it is a very good drama and I’m very glad that I decided to watch it.
