Thursday October 16th, 2008 22:12 And Because of this, I’ll Stop Watching…

My roommate and I have this rather embarrassing ritual every night. In the midst of the flurry of finishing patient papers, reading required book chapters and reviewing for exams, we make sure that a good 45 minutes of nighttime is spent watching this local tv drama being shown on air. The fast-paced storyline, infamous quotable quotes and the high fashion wardrobes of Scarlett and Katherine which can rival those by the likes of Oscar de la Renta have definitely kept us glued to our seats. But after finishing another episode today, the lingering distaste to watch the series further has become more pronounced so to speak. Inasmuch as I still like the fact that the fast-pace of the story makes every episode unexpected, this whole drama of I’m-on-top-now-later-I’m-at-the-bottom-again has been played over and over again that soon, you’ll just realize how stupid things have been happening lately for our poor heroine. I am not exactly a fan of martyr heroines, but sometimes I wonder when this revenge-or-shit wheel would finally stop turning and set things the way they’re supposed to be for the longer time being. I know dramas are supposed to be this way to live up to their genre, but then, can you really be that unfortunate in the first place? It’s pitiful how us, televiewers, are being taken for a ride. Seems like our intelligence is being put to test as well.
