Please send help: I find manpain unnervingly attractive

[lesbiassparrow]

I am deeply disturbed by how much better I feel that 'Time of Dog and Wolf' got once they started beating the living daylights out of the hero at least once an episode. I refuse to interrogate what this says about me but I am sure it is nothing good. (And the hero getting beat up is not a spoiler because I feel this is the sort of show where they will whack the living daylights out of him on regular basis because they can.)

And to prove it's not just physical pain I admire, I must confess that 'Silence' also got even better* once the hero found out that not only did he have little time to live because of liver cancer but that the heroine did not remember that they were childhood loves. Oh, the angst! And the shots of the hero looking attractively agonized as he dwelt on his unrequited love!

I am saving 'Coffee Prince,' a touching story of cross dressing and, er, coffee to cheer myself up after I have finished 'Silence.'

I AM NOT PROUD ABOUT ANY OF THIS.


*And by better I mean even more likely to rip my heart out.

I am joining the club (but I rather like when after all manpain the hero reaches a safe haven).

The manpain in Time of Dog and Wolf is pretty severe. I will be upset if it ends badly as so much suffering needs some sort of comforting end. Also I don't want the emo brother to live happily instead (which is what I fear) as he annoys me.
