I am a Fan

I have to say I love One Tree Hill. I am not the kind to always watch comedy. I much prefer drama and mystery. So I like shows like Damages, Brothers and Sisters, and Law and Order. And One Tree Hill. It might seem like a show that teenagers would watch. I'm not sure about the target demographic but I assume this. So, based on that assumption, I am a bit old to still be watching the show. But I can't help it. I love it. It used to just remind me of College in the Uk (mixed in with Felicity). But now, I just love it for the drama that it is.
I love that the characters all look so good but are all so tortured. I love the Lucas-Payton love story, love how their story began, love that he wrote a book for her, love that they have such a dramatic affair, and love how they always seem to find their way back to each other. I love how they give each other these looks that just steal your breath. I know, I know. This is fiction, acting, it is not real. They are not real people. But again, I can't help but feel like they are and, consequently, get affected by their trials, by their victories, and by their reflections, all the while rooting for them from my bed, every week, over popcorn, with a box of Kleenex. It doesn't help that they play GREAT music! Each and every song matches the drama of the particular scene to a tee.
I love this show. It's my drama drug every week, with the music as an adrenaline bonus. I am unashamedly a huge fan.
