An Open Letter to Kdrama Fans

Dear Kdrama Fans,

You need sleep.

Yes. You really need sleep. Take a break and take a deep, deep breath. You must've been watching K-dramas for 24 hours or less. Don't worry, I've been there. I think we've all been there at some point in our lives. You can't deny, you've tried sleeping late just to finish that certain drama you were watching whole day. Or worse, you never got to sleep. Next thing you know, the sun is already rising and people in your house are waking up, preparing for work or school. 

I'm not saying watching K-drama is bad. What I'm saying is that you just need to relax for a while and explore the reality outside your room. But if reality is being mean to you, you can always go back to watching your K-dramas. For me, watching K-dramas is my sweet escape from reality because it eases my pain and sadness somehow. I'm sure some of the K-dramas made you laugh whenever you're feeling down or when you're having a bad day. 

Do you ever get that sad feeling when you finally finished a K-drama that you really liked? To the point of going through their behind the scenes footage on YouTube, stalking the actors' Instagram, etc. Don't worry, we've done that too. If you think you're crazy or obsessed for doing that, don't be. You are not alone. We do that too. I've done that too a couple of times because I can't seem to move on from My Girlfriend is a Gumiho. You know, I shipped Shin Min Ah and Lee Seung Gi so hard before. I even watched their Strong Heart special episodes and the behind the scenes of their kissing scene. You know, typical. But that will soon pass because another drama will come in and soon enough, you'll forget about it. And then probably, you'll laugh at yourself while remembering what you just did.

Tissues. Tissues everywhere.

Was there a drama where you had to pause for a while to take a deep breath because of that one heavy scene and you couldn't seem to move on just yet? I've had lots of memories like that but the one that made me cry really hard recently was Goblin. The ending episodes really struck my heart and made me cry a river. If people around you called you 'weird' or 'weirdo', just let them be. Because again, you are not alone. There are thousands of K-drama fans out there who are with you and who do the same thing as you. But seriously, that drama is just too much. The feels.

I'm not going to make this letter any longer. I'll stop here now because I've basically said almost everything. The reason why I made this letter was to make you all know that you guys aren't alone. And if people bash you because you're a K-drama fan, don't mind them. They've got nothing better to do in life, that's why they're doing that. Okay? 

But then again, I have to remind you about one thing: SLEEP. Yes guys, sleep. We have 365/366 days in one year and 24 hours, don't torture yourself by not sleeping. We all have time to finish what we're doing. We just need time management. Okay? Okay.

Sincerely, your co-K-drama fan.
