Too many dramas*

Why do you keep watching dramas then? I'm seriously thinking about to stop watching if that's the case.

Hahaha interesting.. Hmm I think it can be bad for your health in some other ways. For example (my example ahaha) when I watch drama I'm in my bed all day with my laptop, I only get out of it to look for food (that I'll eat back in my bed) or to go to the bathroom. Sometimes I stay in my bed for hours or even days :O I watch drama so I just lay in my bed, not exercising, eating bad food like pizza, snacks, chocolates, sandwiches, biscuits and so on. I'm in my bed but I don't sleep much and I go through many different emotions so it's quite tiring but still no sleep. Plus, watching dramas takes over my sleeping time even when I have to work the day after so YES I think it can be bad for your health if you don't pay attention. Fortunately in my case I still have a social life(hahaha) so I'm not in front of my screen 24/7. I've watched about 40 dramas since the beginning of 2013 but I'm doing fine. The thing's is to find your balance :D About the fact that the emotions you feel'd "damage" your health I don't think so. Crying in front of a touching scene is not someting you have to worry about. Some scenes or even stories make you reflect on some points of views or feelings you didn't have before or maybe had before and you're compassionate. Crying, laughing, getting angry and feeling other emotions is normal when you watch a drama or a movie. Sometimes your mood'll be down after your favourite character died or something but it won't affect your health such as having a depression. When I cry after I feel better even if I didn't cry for myself. Aigoo English isn't my first language so it's hard for me to find the proper words Hope you got what I meant hahaha I think it depends of the people, though. I took myself as an example here. *thanks for reading, greetings you all from my bed*

I agree with PinkyPie and Mo-chan! Emotionally, I think dramas can be very therapeutic! Especially when going through tough times in your life, it can really help to have a drama that speaks to whatever you are going through, or even a drama that can help you escape your troubles, if even momentarily! But then you do have the other side that watching TV of any sort tends to be unhealthy physically. Unless you are actually exercising or doing something physical while watching them :)

I agree that they can be therapeutic due to the emotions you feel while watching them, unless you watch too much of the same kind.. that can make you tired. I think the main health risk is the lack of physical activity while watching. /that can lead to body aches and back problems. That's why I try not to sit down and watch for more than twenty to thirty minutes at a time. I pause frequently to get up and move around. :)

it's not a physical problem for me since I exercise. But it may hurt someone inside if you get emotionally involved (Just a guess/opinon).
