"I often say that what makes the most interesting drama and I think this is what happens in life, is people doing the wrong things for the right reasons. They don’t mean to screw up but they do." - Agnes Nixon

I am also a viewer of some
Some family dramas have the power to keep ourselves binding. Some are very boring, and when they starts stretching those boring once, OMG, feel like; it is killing me.
