Question for the expression which is like It gets me every time...
I got some expressions about 'get'. i think it is used in two different way when i come across a couple of sentences somehwere.
Work is starting to get to me. I need to take another vacation.
: get to somebody means to bother somebody
- I want to know what gets to you?
- What really gets to me is when my boss asks me for the report like in one hour.
->if something is getting to me then it means that it's driving me crazy. i asume...
But there are something i couldn't get it right in the following sentences.
- I have to admit his music is wonderful. It really gets to you.
- It gets me every time.. > maybe it makes me touched every time. it could be some moive scenes or musics... whatever it is..
So ... how could i distinguish one from the other. i wonder.

gets to me can be either positive or negative.
It's talking about strong emotion, one way or the other.
If you're talking about something bad, like "The way that guy treats his wife really gets to me!" It makes you mad the way he treats his wife.
"Sometimes when I realize all the wonderful things my wife has done for me, it really gets to me!" I feel emotional when I think of all the good things my wife has done for me.
Kind of like "기가 막히게" (If I'm correct that can mean something horrible or something wonderful).
