Watching TV at home is a regular activity preferred by many retirees. Some people like to catch up with dramas, while others are not particular about what they watch on TV. But there is a difference between the two. When you don't pay much attention to the content of the TV, just sitting in front of the TV, your brain actually does not really absorb and analyze the content. On the other hand, the mindset of a drama watcher is a bit different. People who follow dramas care a lot about the content and actively analyze the storyline and character relationships. The process of catching up on a TV show requires the use of different brain functions. So the way you watch TV can have a different effect on cognitive ability, and chasing dramas may instead be a form of cognitive training. However, I am not encouraging you to use drama chasing as cognitive training for a long time, as sitting in front of the TV or computer too often will cause other physical problems. It is recommended to do different healthy and meaningful activities during the day.
