Haan, Kwerky. It is better now, what with me popping ibuprofen after every few hours. 😆

I was telling a colleague yesterday - jab tak dard nahin hotaa, tab tak we are not even conscious about how wonderful a pain-free existence is. So, aur kuchh nahin, toh at least I am learning to be grateful for every other body-part that is functional and fine. 😆😆

@bold: That is so true. 😊And it is applicable to everyone and everything - usually we are not thankful for things/situations we take for granted.

Accha hai...it is better now...albeit assisted with analgesics. Take care.🤗

For the sake of an argument - I don't think that such short shows are necessarily a good thing. Isn't it also sometimes like that when the audiences begin to connect with the characters they want to see more of them, and such finite limited episode series will quite certainly fail to achieve that deep lasting connection with the viewers?

There was a lot of talk about a Friends reunion. I think now that Friends had also gotten too stretched for its own good, but all the same, had it just been a 20 episode series, who'd be as excited about the reunion of its cast?

Sure - KSBKBT type shows shows should end after 20 episodes... but I'd also not want well-made shows with well-written stories to end prematurely (I'm thinking "30 Rock")... 😆😆😆

I agree with you...and when I was talking about the advantages of the format...I was more inclined towards the US TV shows...which come back with seasons and a pretty solid script...not the Korean TV format. 😊

Today, a lot of stress is laid on viewer engagement and everyone wants to increase the shelf-life or the longevity of a show/story...the one season format might not sound ideal. But that works very well in Korea or Japan. True...people will lament once a show goes off-air...but if it was good, it creates a legacy/lasting impression in the minds of the viewers and in today's social media riddled world - they connect with the actors (portraying the character) ...ensuring that the characters/show stays fresh for quite some time.

If we go back to the good old Doordarshan days of 80s and early 90s...we had finite series...some of them finished in 20-odd episodes...there was also the norm of 13-episode shows...but people still recall them very fondly and with a lot of nostalgia. Decades after they ended! And this when there was no constantly in-your-face media blitzkrieg to promote the shows at that time...or fan pages etc to foster connect.

There is the case of "Firefly"...a TV show aired in the US in 2002. It was canceled after only 11 episodes aired but since the content was good...it had large fan support campaigns to save it...achieved a cult status when it was released on DVD...has a movie spin-off owing to demand, besides other spin-offs in comics etc...and there is still hankering for its return.

So I would say...content and execution matters...whatever be the format.

@bold: As you say...satya-vachan!😆😆

Subtitles nahin miley they youtube par, isiliye binaa subtitles ke dekh liya mainey. 😳
@Korean shows: I am so bored, but still so disinclined to watch them. 😛

I spent my Valentine's watching korean dramas... No regrets 😆

I finsihed two series... I want to try rooftop prince n secret garden now... Waise dekh dekh ke jo samajh aaya batadu

Aaraso means ok

They say babuji or sth similar for dad

Their main protagonist is mostly 30 plus women... All movies were romantic comedy so totally understandable... I also feel for us ladies ...that real n interesting love stories starts at that age 😆...in general that is...

You know what - I was imparting this same gyan to someone else yesterday, and she told me that after every few days, probably when I am healing from some injury or the other, I tell this to everyone who'd stop and listen to me.

Apparently, making making people conscious of the joys of a pain-free life is what I have been subconsciously doing for months now. 😳😳😳
