This Korean drama has been keeping me occupied these last few weeks. It revived a hidden, sleeping fangirl part inside of me. It unleashed my fangirlism in such a crazy way that it made me feel so high up on the air almost everyday watching the scenes and wondering what would happen next. As crazy as I could be, I decided to write a review even though the series has not ended yet. Well, it will end this week, two more episodes to go after all. :(

Obvious warning, spoilers ahead, as much as I try to keep it as superficial as possible, so do NOT read if you do NOT want to be spoiled!

All in all, I didn't regret watching this drama at all. I'm glad I liked Lee Seung Gi from before, from Brilliant Legacy. I checked K2H because of him, and didn't regret it at all. In fact it colored my days waiting for new episodes and with the amazing soundtracks.

I so can't wait to see how this story would conclude. AhHa rocks! <3

I watch infotainment programs at TV too. No, I'm not such a big fan of gossips, but I'd rather watch them than watching strange and completely non-sense short movies or something like that. *grumbles*

Anyway, back on topic.

Infotainment really loves the romances of celebrities. They display everything, from gossips, to those going out together, to the marriage, to their cheating, and when they get a divorce, as well as when they find someone else to love and marry. *rolls eyes* The circle is endless, vicious, sometimes up to the point that it feels... (sorry to say this but I just have to) disgusting.

I have this one celebrity. She divorced her former husband and turned out she cheated him. She cheated him with someone younger than him. TEN YEARS YOUNGER. They got married shortly after, then I never saw her on TV anymore. Today, when I saw them again, they would get a divorce. Reason? "We are better as siblings -- a brother and sister -- than as husband and wife." My reaction? ... Should I write it here? It pissed me off. The infotainment interviewed her former husband. His reaction? To sum it up he felt that it was strange for the woman to give up their marriage to run with that boy and now getting divorced for such a silly reason. You can clearly see how the divorce hurt this ex-husband, even more after hearing the news.

And several other cases related to marriage, divorce, another marriage, another divorce, and so on. A nasty cycle.

I just don't understand. How could they take the decision so fast, then regret it, stop the relationship abruptly, then start a new one only to fail again? What do they think of marriage? It feels as if they think of it as a game. Marriage is serious business. At least for me. Maybe related to religion as well, but still... Do you not want to be married to someone who will stay with you until the very end? How could you know that after only a short period of knowing each other? Marriage is not simple at all yet these people...

Probably I should stop watching infotainment and ignore all of those weird people.
