Let's Escape

After hearing so much about the new korean drama Iris, I decided to find out what all the hype was about... For all you skeptics... all I have to say is, holy cow! I just finished watching the first two episodes- and the characters, the music, the plot are all great. I have to admit, it's a lot better than I expected. It's a thumbs up.
Dang. I am such a loser. I always get sucked into these dramas. I know it's so dorky and cliche to say... but, I always feel like I'm one of the characters. Hahaha. Ohhhh my. I definitely need more excitement in my life.

You know, I don't think I would mind being a secret service agent. Be in the CIA. Do something cool like that. Sure, there'd be the whole your-life-is-always-in-danger and the you-could-die-at-any-moment factor- but thinking about it- that doesn't seem entirely too bad. Being a secret agent, you'd always have that sense of purpose. You'd always know that whatever it was you were doing would be pretty darn important. Ya, I guess there'd be a butt full of responsibility and risk involved- But, maybe if you were constantly reminded of how crucial your task was you'd learn to appreciate life a bit more... learn to make every moment count.

Hm, maybe I get so into these dramas because it lets me live in my fantasy world ::for a moment at least::. I'm not gonna lie- sometimes when I watch these dramas I start to develop small littles crushes for the characters. I don't even know their names most of the time- but I always end up wishing that the next dude I would meet would be like one of them. The ggangpeh that goes good for the girl. The guy that waits ten years to tell her I love you. Aw, how sweet. I'm a hopeless romantic!

Sigh. Everyone seems to be in a relationship or feeling completely lonely these days. I don't get it. What is it about this season? The cold weather? The time change? I mean, I guess after what I said, that would put me in the "feeling completely lonely" category... but actually, I'm pretty content with where I am.

You know what I liked about Kim Tae Hee in Iris? She's seemed totally independent. I know all the guys are drooling over how pretty she is (which she is). But I liked how strong and confident she was. I LOVED that the guys in the drama never knew what to expect. My mom says girls need to be more like her. She told me that if you're too nice, the boys will run all over you- take advantage of that. Truer words were never spoken. There is such a thing as being TOO nice sometimes.

I like to escape every once in awhile. But I get it- this is the life I'm stuck with. Right here. Right now. And you know what? I'm perfectly okay with that. It''s okay that I'm not a top secret agent and that I'm not the prettiest gal in the world- and you know what else? It's definitely okay that I don't have a muhsinun guy who likes me. Because honestly, I don't need all that to be happy. I have wonderful friends and amazing family that make my life worth living. What more could you ask?
