Carm's corner

Today was a day, for reasons I've discussed somewhere else but I won't repeat here. But it's relatively late and I have a lot of nervous energy and I thought it would be good to talk about something good instead of thinking and thinking about the bad things that happened.

Sometime ago geraineon talked about Oh, no! Here Comes Trouble and I just started watching it last weekend.

But then the work week went by, and I went to the office, and I caught a cold (fortunately just a cold, after getting tested and everything), and had to catch up with the work I couldn't do when I was sleeping for a whole day like I always do to recover from colds because they're my kryptonite.

My intention was to binge the rest of the episodes today but I had things to do and then shit happened and, honestly, when I tried to watch anything, my mind just kept wandering to the things that happened and couldn't make it beyond 10 minutes of episode 9, so I decided to just stop. I wasn't in the right mood.

So... I haven't finished watching the remaining four episodes, I don't know how it's going to end, but nothing stops me from talking about how much I've liked it so far.

I have this way of approaching shows where I try not to seek spoilers or reviews. Sometimes I just skim the synopsis. I like to be surprised, I like to guess what's going to happen, see if I can predict a pattern or if the story will take turns I didn't see coming at all. And I'm lucky I'm not easily triggered.

Anyway, regarding Oh, no! Here Comes Trouble everything has been such an interesting surprise. From the protagonist, to his unusual gift, to the way the stories revolve around grief in a way it shows us how the protagonist deal with his own grief and guilt, and the humor (yes! humor) ... I have loved every episode. And most of them have made me laugh and cry without me feeling whiplash. The writing is just so clever. And the acting is great. I just... I really want to watch episodes 9 to 12 tomorrow, but I cannot say if I will de able to do it, so, for now I'm just gonna talk about it here. I dare say right away that it's going to be one of my favorite dramas, really, I'm not exaggerating.

This, as usual, is not a review. I definitely recommend it, but there are some heavy elements that may not be for everyone or even be triggering.

But now it's late late and I'm finally starting to feel sleepy. And talking about something I enjoy actually helped me feel better.

I promise I'm gonna come back and talk about this show when I finish watching it.
