They say that life is a game of destiny and that love is a matter of fate. But what if destiny seems to be playing a trick on you? Will you change your destiny if you were given that one chance?
Now that I'm done watching the first five seasons of 24, I now have a few extra time to watch something else on television or to read a book. One of these "else" is Sana Maulit Muli, the newest drama series on ABS-CBN. I can't talk about the plot without spoiling anything, so just read the first paragraph (and quote) of this post. It pretty much sums up what you can expect from this drama.
I like this drama, especially the first two weeks of it. The story unfolds relatively faster compared to the usual slow-moving Filipino television drama. What I don't like about it, and about Filipino TV drama in general, are the paper-thin, underdeveloped, supporting characters (villain or otherwise). It seems that the writers focus on what the main characters are all about and then just surround them with predictable supporting characters. In the episodes that I've seen so far, for example, there's only one supporting character (Camille, the fake Poknat) that hints of being more than a flat, straight out villain. So aside from the Travis/Bokbok and Jasmine/Poknat characters, only Camille is believable.
Right now, I'm interested on what will happen next. I'm just not sure for how long. I'm not sure if I can sustain the interest.
what about the five second pause, where the characters just stare at each other without saying anything just before every commercial? is it just me or does anybody out there notice this?
ReplyDeleteI do notice that, everytime. :) But I just (sarcastically) smile at it...
ReplyDeleteyeah. notice that too. it's a cue for the music or something.
ReplyDeleteor maybe perhaps a time window for all of us to "chew" what just went on. something.
let things sink. i think. don't mind me.
hehehe. the show's posting high ratings though.
