TikTok versus K-Drama

2 minute read time.

I am excited and grateful!  A few people have been reading my blog, and I only started posting a week ago!  And a couple of you have actually left comments too!

I might even get a few followers, like my wife has on TikTok!!!!

Now my wife is one of those people who goes through phases, and commits 100% to whatever current obsession until the novelty wears off.  For a few months it was crochet, then patchwork quilts followed by embroidery.  And of course I get suckered in to buying all of the paraphernalia for whatever the most current obsession is.  On the plus side, it makes finding presents easier!
Her latest "thing" is a presenter on TikTok.  So I thought this will last for a few months and she will have her friends as followers and maybe broadcast to 50 or so people, maybe even grow it to 200.  They just chat and sing songs - a real time karaoke! (no guesses that my wife is Asian and loves karaoke!)
By the first week she had 6,000 live viewers each night.  By the second week it was 60,000.  After a month it had reached 300,000 live viewers each night and all I could think was would I put my wife in the middle of a full Twickenham Stadium with a microphone for 5 successive nights!  OMG.
Last Friday, she hit a new milestone with 7.8 million live viewers!!!!  As an accountant, I am familiar with big numbers, but even this is beyond my comprehension.
But I am humble - and I am so happy that I have had 2 comments on my blogs and a few readers.  Obviously TikTok can be a happier forum than one such as this.

As for K-Drama, it is now in vogue!!!  I have been an avid watcher for a couple of years now.  So while my wife is broadcasting all over the world, I have my "me" time indulging in mindless TV entertainment.  It just allows me to shut off and be distracted.
If you are a current patient and fed up of hospital visits, you may want to skip the hospital dramas, but I do recommend you try watching K-Drama.  For me it has an innocence that has been lost in our own domestic dramas that have been subsumed by violence and sexual content.
Try "My Mister" for lump in your throat emotional drama, "Penthouse" for something with so many twists it will make you dizzy, or "Alchemy of Souls" for a fantasy fiction type drama.

So no medical references in today's post - just a thank you for your contributions.  I do tend to ramble a bit.  Even at work people joke that my meetings never run to time - but they would if everyone stopped interrupting me!!!  Luckily I can't be interrupted on a blog.
