Total non sequitur Cap hate watch post at 2:41pm on Sunday.
We are so back. Tell me about some sexy Korean dating show every morning that I only half-understand, and I’ll weep. And the glare. Don’t forget the glare.
Not a dating show, but my current obsession that I think I told you about is "Shooting Stars" - Korean pop stars, models, actresses, news hosts, Olympians, etc. form futsal teams and play in a league. This has been going on for around four years, and in the beginning, there were only four teams. Aside from one obnoxious and ugly woman, they were all just terrible at soccer. As weeks and seasons go by, you get to watch them improving and falling in love with the game. They all get emotional over wins and losses, and it's all totally sincere - it's just amazing and beautiful, especially for someone like me who has loved the sport myself since I was about five years old.
There were a shitload of episodes in the can when I started watching six-12 months ago, so I was watching like two every night. I reached a point where I knew there were only 19 eps left before I was caught up, so I slowed down and started watching two eps per week, and now just one on Mondays. I am two eps away from the end of that 19, but I have to protect myself from spoilers, so I don't know if they have made more in the meantime and just put them somewhere else on the website, etc. - I just don't know what's happening, and won't until a week from Monday. So I'm kind of freaking out.
I seriously glared at the TV when I was almost caught up, but it's more of a sad glare than a "f*** you" glare. The show is the second-greatest thing in the world after "One Piece."
