Even now..i know notice the weirdest and the funniest things about Ads. I have been told its not that common 😛
The characters having flaws..agreed... thats what makes them real and someone I can relate to.
Peggy is definitely one of the most complex of the lot in there... i like even the lead secy... Ms.Hollway (spelling? 😕).
But I guess what bothers me about Draper is not his physical betrayal as much his emotional betrayal to Betty. The fact that he refuses to share parts of him with her. All his other faults make him the man he is..a better man in some ways. The dark brooding hero..the intriguing man.
But This part...I am still grappling with. I never thought I was prude, infact always tried to be non judgemental... it's funny how our reactions to shows and books sometimes tells us so much about ourselevs. Anyways.. I still love his character overall. It's deep, it's dark and he is such a pleasure to watch. Cant complain too much 😆
