DRAMA FATIGUE

 Killer_Queen:

Skipping works for romances because honestly, they are all the same, but it doesn't make sense to if the drama is a mystery or crime drama which I watch a lot of the times. Or it has a lot of plot going around. 

I actually skip through any type, especially when they are focusing on a character I dont like. 

 Watching a show now that is the same murder mystery told by each of the witnesses, and they replay "the incident" each time.  I skip the scene I have already seen.  Makes the drama more bearable.  I am the type that NEVER drops a drama that I start, I only watch Jdramas so 10-11 eps to push through is not bad. Especially when I fast forward. :)

I got it recently after watching Six Flying Dragons. The whopping 50 episodes took quite a toll on me emotionally as I had been so invested in the story and characters throughout. Couple that with a pretty acute bout of the withdrawal symptoms, I can't seem to be able to muster enough enthusiasm for anything much. Maybe something light and easy with eye-candies aplenty on the next excursion will help sort me out some.

I tried watching something light and easy to get back into, but it didn't work xD

I can't speak for anybody else, but it's must've been my obsessive-compulsive personality. I know it's stupid. Watching dramas is a hobby, it should've been fun, but there you go :D

And yeah, the fast-forward button is truly a godsend

Haha, got it xD

If this isn't me... I've recently had a break from school so I watched any and every drama I could on my list - I'm not even halfway done. I've realized that standing up and doing stretches is refreshing if you're sitting for long periods of time. Snacks always help my energy boost up but I finish those wayyyy too quickly. :,)

Nowadays I'm finding it really hard to get 'into' dramas. Like I end up dropping them after the first episode because I just can't interested.

I really want to understand where this sense of obligation is coming from. Why would you feel obligated to watch a drama? 

Some people are completionists, yo. They don't like the feeling of unfinished things or getting behind on their lists. I feel a small sense of dissatisfaction when I look at my currently watching or on hold or to watch lists... but then I go and watch something that's not on any of them, and it's delicious to be rebellious!

Don't try to make sense of it-- it doesn't make sense. ;)

First, I love your insert of yo. Secondly, I do understand the feeling, it is just that I mostly get it for novels compared to dramas.
