Introverted Boss~current running drama
The story is: The CEO of a PR company is extremely introverted. As a result his employees don't know him well. Her is shrouded in mystery and his mysterious behaviors are the gossip of the lower floors. His co-CEO and only friend is the only person he speaks to and is the face of the company.
A new employee comes to work and invades his space completely. She has a secret too, she really hates the CEO.
The actor who plays the CEO is well known for playing dark character roles and he plays them really well. Up til now he has only acted as comedic main character once. This drama is a dark romantic comedy; his affliction of severe introversion is definitely dark subject matter. As is the long history of psychological abuse by his parents. There is a lot about this drama that is not funny at all, in the first two episodes, yet there is enough humor to consider it comedy.
I am having trouble with this one.
I was an extremely introverted child. I was subjected to pretty severe psychological and physical battery at the hands of my mother as she tried to beat the shy out of me and forced me into situations having to deal with people.
In the end I dealt with it by becoming another person. Every time I had to be alone in a strange place, stand in front of a crowd or ring a doorbell; I became someone else. A person who could do these things, not a split personality but rather an acted out persona, like I was acting in a play.
Seeing and hearing the father of this character makes me ill. I cry, I have to pause, I feel like throwing up.
I never talk much about my problems because of my introversion. I know no one cares and if they do care it is fake and if they fake they are probably mocking me or seeking attention, if they are mocking me it is because I am pathetic and seeking attention, if I am pathetic I should just delete this because no one cares, but if no one cares then no one will read this far and I am safe because it means I am writing this for myself.
If I am writing this all for myself then what is the point? I already know this, it is in my head and what is the point of putting what is in my head where people can see it?
The romance is dying down a little with Hwarang.
Kdrama newbies who vowed to watch in support of their favorite maknae don't understand history. They are too wrapped up in shipping characters and comparing today's social politics with Silla.
They don't seem to understand the need to focus in on certain things for an entire episode. I would say myself that for an idol drama it is actually pretty good.
