   i remember when i used to avidly read conversations about #CDrama and #KDrama eagerly looking for more to add to my watch list.
   Now I just keep reading until I find the post which tells me I won't be able to cope with it and this is another series I should probably miss.
   How do you stress addicts manage it? Like seriously. How do you cope with all of the cortisol and stress reactions from your entertainment?

     @emmaaum Yeah I usually just choose a drama that suits my mood. For eg, I've put Nirvana in Fire on hold for a long time because I'm not in the mood for heartbreak (I will eternally be on episode 15 bwahaha). And a while back I felt ready to watch a harem drama again so picked up Sword & Brocade and adored it. However, I did find the plots and scheming stressful so I fast forwarded a lot of them and just read recaps. That's how I manage the "stress".

     @emmaaum For less stressful dramas, I'd recommend Meet Yourself (the first two eps are a bit tough, but it's all about healing from those events) and Love me, Love Your voice.
     I'm a little like @geraineon - I like blood & misunderstandings in my dramas. Unlike some folks, I liked the endless misunderstandings in Love and Redemption for example, cos they're so amusing to me.

     @emmaaum Reddit r/CDrama can be an acquired taste. It can get a little noisy and chaotic there and it is not as pleasant as in Mastodon. Meaning fights break out there sometimes. I know cos I am one of the mods that have to break it up 😂 but quite a number of folks who like slice of life stuff are there. I am pretty sure most of us here do occasionally watch quieter dramas too tho @geraineon

     @liztai I haven't found them on MDL either, not for violence. Not keen on Reddit but maybe I'd be less lonely there.
