Broken Glass and Broken Hearts.


I hate broken glass. It's a bitch to clean up. And you never seem to be able to get it all, and you end up with broken glass in your feet. It reminds me of a broken heart: you think that you're over it, but then all of a sudden, you feel the sharp pain of heartache. But once you manage to get rid of all the broken shards, everything is back to normal again, and there's no need to walk with caution.

Speaking of broken hearts, what is up with K-Dramas? They really love their "One year later" sequences. An epic love story is not complete unless the two mains spend one year apart from each other. Whatever the problem is, all is solved with one year passing by. It doesn't matter what the issue was, how big or small the problem was, let's just fast forward one year, and have the lead guy and the lead girl meet each other again, and then, and only then, can they FINALLY get to be with one another. That, or one of them dies.

I never understood why they couldn't just solve the problem there and then. If they REALLY wanted to be with each other, why couldn't they just make it happen. What difference is there in waiting a year apart from the fact that one year has passed. And more often than not, the reunion scene is totally anti-climatic that it completely undermines the epic love struggles they endured. One word to describe those endings: boo.
