I can only conclude, on the evidence before me alone, that you're a bit of a cold fish emotionally - no offense intended. Personally I like my TV dramas to grab me by the throat, to rip out my heart and stomp on it till I'm a blubbering wreck, so I guess we won't be sharing a pint down your local any time soon!”
Don't worry Sepang, like everybody on the planet I've had my fair share of real life drama, and in none of those 'everyday life' situations have conversations carried on long past the point when human tear ducts dry up, throats get sore and heads start pounding.
Snivel acting is like watching kids fake cry, but if it breaks your heart, go for it
