I feel like I need to pour my feelings into some words.
You see, I’ve always preferred reading over watching, but I was (and still am) having a really tough time, and I needed something to keep destructive thoughts away from me, to distract me, and give me some time without having to think about my problems, and no other story managed to do that. But then someone recommended me to try The Sleuth of Ming Dynasty, and, well… that was exactly what I needed, maybe even more. To be honest, I never expected that I would come to like it so much. I started watching it without any expectations at all. But right now this cdrama feels like meeting an old friend, like being wrapped up in a warm blanket, like having a cup of nice hot cocoa in my hands.
I started rewatching it as soon as I finished it, because I was not ready to say goodbye to all the characters and the setting and the scenes. It’s great. It’s amazing. It’s not perfect, but it’s good enough.
The novel nice as well, by the way, but it’s different. The drama, on the other hand, is exactly what my heart needed. For some reason it heals me and helps me.
Usually my way of saying thank you to a show or a book or a game is writing a fanfic or trying to draw something, but right now I feel drained, so I decided to write at least one post of appreciation (though I do hope that I will be able to finish at least a little fic haha)
