News or Soap opera

Tweet

Last night, my parents were prepared to play cards with neighbours around. Unluckily, they were told that people there were full, so they went back home. My father was used to seeing the News channel, surprisingly, he said:"Let's see a South Korean TV drama together." "You never see that kind of soap opera, why?", i responded with doubt. He did not not answer me until now, maybe he was depressed for he could not play cards. At last, what we saw toghther was a pretty sad story, we shed tears before one after another. I can not imagine that my father could shed tears when wacthing TV. That is not him before, he always empaphasized "those kind of stories were cheating your feelings, they were not facts, and never shed tears on them","Wacthing more News or docunmentary will make you a learned person". But what was wrong with my father yesterday?
