It makes certain series and dramas super excessible and 100% free especially the Korean and Taiwanese ones. Okay, I am not a fan of weepy, square-love story dramas BUT when you're at home doing nothing, you tend to be influenced by your siblings' activities and in my case, 2 Korean-Taiwanese-Cantonese-Drama-On-Youtube obsessive sisters.


That is how I came to watch Tree of Heaven, a Japanese/Korean production.

What I thought would be a just-for-fun-10-episode-thingy turned out to be one of the saddest stories I have ever watched. From episode 5 onwards, I cried and cried... and cried. The ending is absolutely heart-wrenching and up till now, I'm still reeling from it. The soundtrack and amazing talents (the lead actress was 15 when she filmed this) proved a lethal combination.

I couldn't sleep at all after finishing it yesterday as the scenes played back and forth in my mind. My tear ducts probably hypertrophied after all the crying. All this happened and I was on duty in church this morning. I know...I have learnt my lesson well, very very well. No more Youtube for me...absolutely no more.
