I believe that what you watch or even read reveals so much about the inner workings of your mind. You might scoff it off, but really, think about the fact that you only use barely 1% of your brain. I mean, if you ask me if am I what I read or watch. I acknowledge it with my whole being. And, I can explain why. It is practically my catharsis. It keeps me sane in the concept of being (mediocre) normal. LOL!
Let me think, I watch K-Drama lately, because I like to watch love and its multidimensional manifestations. I like TV shows which are supernatural and cosmic, because I always believe in the unknown and cosmic mysteries. I like zombie movies, because they are about human survival, in which I could learn a thing or two. I prefer authors like Murakami and Orwell. I love books about life, making life beautiful, and appreciating existence. My choices pretty much define me.
Now, I know a lot of people who likes criminal shows, along with the gruesomeness of some human beings. Those shows maybe fictitious, but mind you, they are based on some degree of truth.
