" She wrote that her father's dark circles from watching manhua dramas are even more prominent than when he took care of her during her senior year of high school; after working out after work, he skips showering first to watch until past 10 p.m., and even after being urged to take a shower, he continues watching until the wee hours of the morning, then gets up at around 5 a.m. to keep watching; he watches while using the toilet at home, and even broke his midday nap habit at work just to watch manhua dramas.
