Why I Hate Taiwanese Dramas

Due to my decision of going to Taiwan for the second half of my college career, my dad has been accusing me of not having good enough Chinese (since he doesn't want me to go back)
He says that even though I am on a foreign exchange program where all my courses will be in ENGLISH and all my tests are in ENGLISH and there are no books.
Also, in my last course in Chinese, I received an A grade...
And I am a fluent speaker with no accent that even Taiwanese people can't tell that I was born in America through my speaking

Either way, I've been trying to reassure him by watching a few Taiwanese dramas... and GOD I feel like I can't finish any of them.

Taiwanese dramas are so fake... and overly dramatic, which is really really stupid...

I first started to watch Autumn's Concerto...
And I couldn't even get to the second part. (my mom even finished this series)
One... I hate the guy lead... since I didn't find him very handsome and I never find the chemistry just right...
And the romance really made no sense to me....

So I stopped watching that series and tried to find another one.

A series that was very close to my heart is one called Invincible Shan Bao Mei.
I remember that it was extremely cute and that the romance was... decent
But the characters and the actors were extremely cute...
I also really loved the main lead, Nicholas Teo

As a result, I tried to watch another one Nick Teo's dramas, Smiling Pasta...
And... I feel nothing for it...
The acting isn't great (where most dramas aren't)
The girl lead just seems stupid and tsun tsun... It's really annoying...
And the problems that come up in the series I feel can be solved easily with a few words. Afterall, the press only wants to hear something interesting rather than something that makes actual sense.
 I don't know how I'm going to force myself to continue this series... but we'll see... =___=
I heard it gets better... that they fall in love and get really engaged and what not. But honestly, I care nothing of these characters right now...

2013 New Years Resolution

Instead of posting this on my deviantart where no one really cares about me. I decided to post this on my blogger where at least I care more and no else one reads this.

Last years resolution I don't think I completed very well... but this year and for years to come I will really try to strive to be a better person.
So here is my list:

  •  save every $5 bill I receive and use it to buy something special or just put into savings
  • draw something every month
  • (tentative) make a single cosplay for myself 
  • continue to ballroom and latin dance.
  • complete the before shower exercise daily
  • complete a mature wardrobe (perhaps with my $5 savings)
  • become a better person in general
  • be happy
there's probably more to this than what is in my head, but this will do for now. Anymore more would be one of those goals that I don't really give much thought to and will end up not achieving
