Crazy Confession: The Moment I Watched K-Drama And Went On Singing Paul Anka's "Diana" All Over Again Back In College

I wasn't that big into K-Drama. I didn't immediately watch Autumn in My Heart no matter how pretty I found Song Hye Kyo was. Then there was one time I started to watch K-Drama in college for the sake of a stupid crush - it was Kim Tae Hee. I could remember watching Forbidden Love on ABS-CBN, and IRIS, Stairway to Heaven (where she was the evil stepsister), and Love Story in Harvard in GMA-7, and I had this obsession going for her but it wasn't vocal about it. I was usually after younger women and older women weren't my type. However, she was a weird case of fanboyism going too far for me.

I would like to remember the precise moments when I fell for her. I would probably be 20 to 21 years old when the shows came. I could remember how I often stayed up late to watch the shows where she was involved - only skipping them because of (1) exams, and (2) I had to get up early because school was tomorrow. I remembered how I would actually save up money for a bootleg DVD of any of her shows. What was worse was that deep inside - I ACTUALLY WANTED TO MARRY HER at one point in my college life! I really didn't keep in my mind too many times that SHE WAS A GIRL THAT I WILL NEVER HAVE!

It had me thinking about how I actually wanted to sing Paul Anka's "Diana" all over at that time. It was a secret obsession though people could sometimes see through that crazy desire over a girl I'll never have. I really couldn't stop thinking (or even talking) about how pretty I found her. Deep inside my head - I watched any K-Drama with her IN IT and kept exclaiming, "Wow! She's really that pretty!". Tae Hee was five years older than I am. The story of the song "Diana" also was focused on Anka's infatuation with a certain Diana Ayoub who was five years older than he is.

At that time, I was also a fan of Star Wars (before Disney bought it) and the tragic love story of Anakin and Padme fell into place. Padme was five years older than Anakin. The statement Anakin made in Attack of the Clones calling Padme "intoxicating" reminds me of how intoxicating the beauty of Tae Hee really is. I really couldn't focus on the plot of the show because I was too focused on Tae Hee's pretty face (that I didn't notice she's FLAT) more than the good plot she's in. In my mind, I was Anakin and Tae Hee was Padme. I even dreamed of Palpatine appealing to my desire for Tae Hee. Boy, that was spiraling out of control.

In my mind, I really could remember how I had weird dreams about her. One of these many dreams was even marrying her and having children with her. The lyrics of the song "Diana" made me wish Tae Hee actually held me closer and held me tight. It was so funny how the song replayed in my head way too many times. It was an infatuation that I tried to hide but couldn't. I mean, the fact that I kept talking about how pretty Tae Hee is than how good Love Story in Harvard is was already an indication that I freaking wanted to marry her!

I just thought that a "perfect" song to sing when she and Rain started dating (and eventually got married) is Anka's "Remember Diana". No, I didn't write a song about Tae Hee at all! I wanted to sing the song (for fun) rather than out of sorrow. I wanted to pretend that Rain was that "another lover" and Tae Hee was Diana. Though I didn't cry at all thinking about it. Rather, it was just a crazy crush that I felt was just there to be there. Like any K-Drama crush - it was just a weird phase!

"Light The Night's" Finale (Spoilers Ahead)

SpikyTV I guess the series just kept us guessing, right? I finally got the chance to finish it after some busy nights. I was right that the killer was HANA (Esther Liu) BUT there's a twist - it was more of voluntary manslaughter than murder. Manslaughter is when one kills out of the heat of passion and that's what Hana did twice in the story. Hana had one against a client who used her and another against Sue after some unfortunate insanity attack. Hana ends up planning to hand herself over but her lover commits murder (towards a character named Chiang An) to protect her. The whole psychological thriller for me just didn't match up to what I wanted. I guess I was too used to how Victim's Game rolled out. I was expecting some real murder scheme. Instead, it was the anti-climatic manslaughter where Hana decides to hand herself to the authorities after what she did. I really still think that the finale wasn't worth too much of the wait. I was expecting something gran

I Just Finished "My Golden Life"

I finally finished My Golden Life which I was hesitant to watch. 52 one-hour long episodes? I was thinking it was easier to watch the Wuxia series that had 40+ minutes per episode such as Princess Weiyang which was quite long. A lot of episodes of My Golden Life would have a few minutes more depending on the coverage of the episode. So, I'm done and I never thought I'd actually finish it since I'm way too used to short K-Dramas. This one was rather long but it was rather entertaining in many ways. I was thinking about how Shin Hye Sun actually did well with on-screen partner Park Si Hoo. Sometimes, I'd like to joke about how they had a chemistry that looked good and felt good. Looked good? Both aren't attractive and I often joke how Hye Sun's face feels melted or how she was rightfully matched with Lee Jong Suk in Hymn of Death . Hye Sun isn't pretty but she really makes up with her good acting and likability. The same goes for Si Hoo with how he acts out hi

Just Finished "My Glamorous Imperial Concubine" (Some Spoilers)

This is another Wuxia series finished. I was having some expectations broken. The show can be full of spoilers when discussed even further. In fact, some characters are walking spoilers. If you're not ready to be spoiled - DON'T READ. If not, you can read further. I feel the show had some plot twists and turns. Besides, maybe some of the villains in this show weren't as evil as you think. Emperor Liancheng is an antagonist but dies before the show can end. Liancheng may have some idiotic obsession with Ma Fuya. It becomes even worse when Liancheng's younger sister Liansi and his younger brother Lianxi get involved. Liansi develops a crush on Meng Qiyou and even gets pregnant in the process. It seems that Ma Fuya was pregnant with Liancheng's baby but ends up in Qiyou's household after Liancheng dies. Liancheng dies doing a selfless act to save Ma Fuya. The obsessive empress Ma Xiangyun commits suicide to kill Emperor Liancheng. Emperor Liancheng's quite a
