Life is but a Netflix queue created by an idiot...

Yohooo~
Oh no that is not how Lady Macbeth should sound like...
Ehem! 
Anyway, this is the list of shows that I'd like to recommend for you to watch. Why you ask. They are the most splendid (uhm maybe not) shows that showcase the lifestyles of the people who want to achieve something that simply cannot be obtained, unless there is bloodshed....which resembles "my" life so much. And here is the list:

- The Moon Embraces the Sun - this is a Korean historical drama (or Korean series, but in Konglish refers as Kdrama). The story revolves around the destiny of the young King who was surrounded by conflicts and unloyal subjects. His life was pretty much messed up when the person he loved most was "murdered" as to sacrifice for the peace of the whole nation. The reason why I recommend this show is because it portrays the character Queen Dowager who resembles myself so much. She is indeed a wise and wicked woman. However, she only wants to protect her people, but the method she uses brings bloodshed and disorganization to the Kingdom, which is against the God's will and she should be punished for her own sin. However, when she sinks too deep in her own greed for power and wealth when she manages to gain more power and wealth, there are also people who want to steal what she has and it brings the Kingdom and the whole nation in chaos. As she has already "killed" someone in order to protect the throne for her son, she will do anything and even more killings as to keep the throne in her hand (for her family clan). The person who has to face with all of that is no one else but her "beloved" grandson, the young King. 




- Once Upon A Time - you can see the combination of all the fairy tales and they are all mixed up in this American drama series. There are as many characters in the fairy tales and Disney movies (I think there's even Elsa from Frozen hahaha...). I know some would not take this as serious because somehow it sounds like a show for little kids, I was the same. But hey, I think I will not grow up as long as I still remain on the ground, therefore I will stay as a child  as much as possible. Both kids and adults have great imaginations; having said that, we all need an open mind in order to let imagination leads further. The show takes place in a fictional seaside town called Storybrooke, Maine, whose residents are characters from various fairy tales and are transported to the "real world" with their memories taken away by a powerful curse. The one who did the curse was the "evil" Queen. This Queen could be my bestie if I were to meet up with her. Everyone thinks of her as a person who is selfish and purely evil that she only wants to destroy others' happiness. To be frank, no one was born purely evil. However, there was resentful moments when her happiness was taken away by the people we, as audience, would consider as good and innocent. Therefore, the Queen builds up hatred and vengeance years after years of holding in her anger as to please the others. Therefore, when she was determined enough to kill others, she was willing to to take it to the end and could not stop herself or even distinguish right from wrong (or vice versa) and that she was so blind from her piling hatred overflowing her judgment.
