Blew through 47 episodes of a Korean drama in 11 days and now I feel empty
I told myself I'd watch one episode a night after work, then suddenly it's 2am on a Tuesday and I'm on episode 32. How do you guys pick your next show after something completely wrecks you like that?
How do you even function after that? I read somewhere that the crash after finishing a show you binged is basically your brain coming down off a dopamine high, which is why nothing else sounds good for a few days. My trick is to go straight to something totally different in tone so I'm not comparing it. Like after I finished Crash Landing on You I jumped into a dumb cooking show, no plot, no feelings, just people chopping onions. Give it a couple days and the fog lifts. Also 47 episodes in 11 days is honestly impressive, that's like a full time job.
