One in the A-list of my vast interests is dramas. But if it’s not
Korean I’m rarely hooked. I can’t even remember when was the time I’ve been absorbed
in a Filipino drama. My reason is: ‘common, nothing interesting, it’s the same
old stuffs’.
Most of the
time, I’ll just watch a week premier then I’ll lost interest so I’ll have a good
sleep and just wait for the last week finale. Yes, that’s me. But this time
it’s different, I’m enjoying WalangHanggan.
It’s not a
perfect show, in fact it have a lot of technicalities. I have to admit after
two weeks premier I have lost my appetite on the show. The pace is too slow
especially during the first two weeks of Coco Martin & Julia Montes’
appearance in the show. My high expectations really drop and feel so afraid
that the show will be a dead duck. But then the sudden twists of faith when
Daniel’s too pitiful character died, Catarina married Nathan, and Dawn
re-appear, resuscitate the show. It’s not that I accept it easily; I’m one of
those who said WTF! is that, when Catarina did INDEED marry Nathan. But now, I
realize that it’s the conservative me, who acted naive that time.
Perhaps the
writer wants to convey that it’s already the 21st century; annulment
is possible especially if Nathan’s character is showing mental incapacity. And
it’s not wrong to showcase adultery if Daniel comes back coz he’s the lead and
the one Catarina really love, duh?! So just GET IT and ACCEPT IT that this show
is about experiment.

Experiment 1 : Richard &
Dawn (coming back) tandem (Check)
Experiment 2 : Coco-Julia (new)
tandem ( Check )

Experiment 3: Twisted story (
)---still under experiment
Well, I can say the
result of this experiment is up to the viewers. If we based it to ratings, a lot
of them liked how the story is playing, but I am one who DOESN’T (sorry). Where’s the
story going? It’s stuck and there’s no more room for improvement. Not unless
they’re considering another lead actress (hahaha). But never mind the logic;
you’ll just get a headache.
But what keeps
me addicted? It’s Coco (laughs).
Seriously yeah its
Coco’s great acting skills along with the other great actor and actress
involved with the show. I choose to never mind the story; I’m just enjoying the
execution of every scene especially when the protagonists show their
antagonistic sides. It feels soooo satisfying. (Yes, Emilia and Daniel Guidoti
I’m looking at you two).
Aside from the caliber stars I so love the cinematography of this show. The music, great! And
the production value, no question, the finest. These are enough for me to be
glued on screen for half an hour every night.
But is it really
too late for the story to be better? Let’s see how the writer will continue the
experiment. Meanwhile, hmmm I’m seeing Richard Yap (aka Papa Chen) and Dawn
tandem an added experiment. If this develops I’ll be cemented already on
screen! (Oops, that’s the exaggerated me!)
It is now the number one show on its time slot. It has a good story that why most Filipinos are loving it.

Yeah there is no doubt that it’s no.1 (period) BUT it’s yet another frustration for me cause they’ve been extending it so much. I cannot agree with you that it has the best story, c’mon the story has a lot of flaws (which contradicts to my principles) and in which to expect a happy ending, MANY HAS TO DIE or become CRAZY (I don’t like that coz I watch TV for relaxation and not for STRESS). I won’t be surprise if at the week finale; there’ll be kidnappings and killings (STRESS). At first I criticize the show of its slow pacing but it is now that I realize that this is a melodrama, a genre that delves on emotions where acting is important and where the casts manage to do so well. That’s maybe the reason why people love it. So please I want people to stop saying that the story keeps getting better and better, that gives me goose bumps. I’d rather want to hear that they are acting well.
