What the **** is wrong with me?

So I've taken a few months break from dramas/movies and now when I'm trying to watch a drama I bloody can't watch more than 15 minutes, I get tired, bored and end up somewhere else on the internet after that. It's really making me pissed off because I miss dramaland but I just can't seem to watch anything unless it's really really really interesting/perfect. I've made a alot of attempts to watch different dramas but I fail all the time. What is wrong? Have you ever felt the same way I do? Any ideas of how I can get my attention/interest back for dramas? Because I'm dying to watch a drama right now.

Well I can certainly relate to wanting to watch a drama but not being able to! My case is not as extreme as yours though because I haven't attempted to watch any dramas since Christmas. I can't even bring myself to open the website. If I start a drama I know I'll finish it 95% of the time.

If you're bored, drop the drama and start a new one until you find one that doesn't bore you. If you can't find one, take a longer break. Forcing yourself makes no sense.

This is in the recommendations section. Are you looking for a recommendation or should I move this to the General Asia section?

I hit funks like what you described all the time. I find that trying something else out to clear out the clutter in my brain helps. Perhaps reading a book or watching some movies will help ryou regain your drama motivation. :)

Yeah, I know that feeling. In fact, in the 10 years since I've watched Asian drama, I've taken a break often. Sometimes it takes me just a couple of weeks or months or even longer. Heck, The longest break lasted almost 2 years. During those breaks I still kept watching Asian movies though. And those movies were the ones that pulled me back into the drama scene, again and again. My point is, sometimes a break is needed. And when you hit that slump, you should take as long as you need. If you still can't focus it means you need a longer break. I would suggest to watch Asian movies instead, or as Joooya recommended, maybe animes. Or, maybe watch daily 15-minute drama like Amachan or Oshin. :)

Just try watching English series or English movies, I had that feelings last couple of month,& sometimes I do still feel a little residue of that. But my 2 good friends here encourage me to watch walking dead. & I just choose to watch the new airing dramas so I wont put pressure on myself. specially now that my scheds are so hectic.

Happens to me frequently...nothing new. For me slump frequency is getting much higher. Just take a looooong break...

It's called a drama slump.
Some people cure their drama slump by watching variety shows, some cure it by playing sports idk.
Or just watch non asian things XD I'm pretty sure there is an article or two on MDL about this.
Or you need to find a miracle drama but I doubt that would work. Everyone gets drama slumps. Try different things. Take a break and try not to think about drama.
I suggest not watching drama at all but whatever XDDDD If you are bored and need comedy that isn't asian try watching "Community".

Thanks! God, you have matured a lot since the last time and now here we are again. You're my destiny, maybe. :P
