However, today I don't seem to care. The emotional angst of the characters is not wringing me out. All I feel is mild irritation. I know this will last a few weeks and then the love birds will patch up. They will cootchie coo for the next few weeks. And all those who screamed blue murder will wax eloquent over their chemistry. It has happened once and it is going to happen again.
The situations are currently contrived and the characters' behaviors illogical so as to ensure a misunderstanding.
I am now watching the show as a habit, because i enjoy being part of the interaction here and also, despite everything, this show is the closest that comes to my sensibilities, I am unable to watch high TRP raking shows that have husbands marrying sisters-in-law and wives their husband's best friends. Whether it is doing a good job of it or not, this show is actually trying to explore real life moral dilemmas. Life is not black and white and neither are human beings. So, that is still okay by me. The situations may be contrived but the moral dilemmas of each of these characters is very real. They intrigue me even if they do not emotionally engage me.
I am not in love with any of these characters but neither do they disgust me. I am at present apathetic and viewing the show as an unconcerned third party who is curious to know how far these characters will go. Otherwise, I really don't care!
I don't know if there are others who feel like this. But I sure would like to know.
