By the way I have realised something: KOREAN DRAMAS ARE THE BEST...because:
1. Indian serials go on and on...literally 3 years pass...and if the serial continues to be watched by many it could go on for 10 years 🤢 I mean 10 years...10 years!!! That's 4 years college + 2 years dating and working + having like 2 children...SO A LIFETIME.
2. Pakistani dramas are a better alternative...but 1 episode of 40 minutes a week...honestly I kind of forget what happend the week before...also if an episode is boring it's hard to watch...and waiting for a drama to finish and watch all the 16/20/24/28 episodes in one day doesn't sounds to healthy.
3. Those US shows and Canadian shows...some are indeed so good...but look at a show like the vampire diaries...it all started in september 2009...so four years and the fifth season is now on a break and will continue mid season...ofcourse it will be renewed again...so a sixth and most likely 7 season will follow...i wouldn't be surprised if an eight will also happen. Since september 2009...Nina Dobrev and those two ugly looking vampire guys have become hot and happening...and what happend with the viewers? They kept watching the crap...the dragging and the season breaks...personally...when season 2 started I forgot what happend during season 1...when the third season started I forgot what happend in the second season...SO WHAT'S THE POINT OF WATCHING IT?
4. I have nothing against our Aussie pals...Loved Mako Mermaids! But the season finished on a good note. So why watch a second one? I think that's the worst thing...I watched H20...Phoebe Tonkin and Claire Holt were just some lame teenage girls then...today however they are working in The Vampire Diaries and The Originals...yes I'm jealous 😭
5. Regarding my dutch shows...overspel and penoza...both also have copied US versions...overspel is airing on ABC titled Betrayal, and penoza was airing on ABC titiled Red Widow but got cancelled after two episodes. Anyway same story as the US shows...seasons go on and on.
Now I think many might have noticed my problem: I don't like that dramas/serials/soaps continue to air for so many years. Let's say my friend HeavenlyBliss is a big fan of The Walking Dead...he watched the first season and loved it. The show got renewed so HeavenlyBliss watched the second season too. The show gets renewed again for a third season but tragedy strikes:
-HeavenlyBliss HAS BEEN THROWN ON THE STREETS BY HIS LANDLORD. NOW THAT HE HAS BECOME A BEGGAR HE WON'T BE AIBLE TO SEE THE THIRD SEASON.
ANOTHER TRAGEDY:
-HeavenlyBliss GETS MARRIED TO A WIFE THAT DEMANDS HIM TO WORK 24 HOURS A DAY! SO WHEN WILL POOR HeavenlyBliss HAVE TIME TO WATCH THE THIRD SEASON?
and I'm sure you all can think of more tragedies.
Now that HeavenlyBliss can't watch the third season he clearly wasted his time watching the first two seasons...and I guess so did I and all of you guys...so this forces me to take a decision...cuz soon I will have to make another decision whether I'm finally going to get a job 🤢 or finally going to go after a rich guy (KRK or Carrot or Rahul Gandhi) to get married 😳 or continue to study ...Yes even sanasoufi aka Nihira needs to grow up 😭 I love college and playing around and this 3 month break I have taken 😳 but it can't last forever.

😊 Reason for the Indian serials that I have chosen: I do need something to watch obviously...I like IPKKND the most, and Bani I already watched for quite some time and that new Ekta Kapoor serial Yeh Hai Mohabbatein is great! However this will be my last three Indian shows. Will never start watching another one...so once these end...I won't have anything left.
The drama from the Netherlands...there's one season finale episode airing on saturday so what's the harm...it's italic because after the season finale I will remove it from my schedule.
The pakistani dramas Pachtawa and Shukk are awesome! I love Pakistani dramas however I will only choose the ones that are really impressive...like maat/humsafar/shehr e zaat/dastaan etc.
SO KOREAN DRAMAS IT IS! Japanese and Taiwanese are a waste of time...cuz 1 episode of 40 minutes every week...but the biggest problem is: They are never as good and as funny as korean. Thai dramas are 🤢 And ofcourse latin american telenovela's of 100 episodes are also 🤢
I will only watch the three mentioned Indian serials and new Pakistani dramas when they are really innovative and Korean dramas that are atleast less than 30 episodes.
And a last note for that Katrina fan Allblacks1: I DON'T WATCH MOVIES. My problem with movies is: If you're watching it for an hour and it ends up being awful you wasted your time!
Happy 2014 😊
^ Let me add: YES I WILL NEVER WATCH AN US SHOW ANYMORE. I was really excited about CWtv's The 100 and star crossed...but I'm not going to do it...so I dropped all the US shows I was already watching and won't be adding new ones.
