Awfully dumped my blog. Still laptop/desktop-less. MacBook, please hurry!
Talking about local tv production company, I think Threesixzero production deserve an applause.
Watched Secret Garden (Singapore). Every episode drives me to crave for more ( partly because it's a one-episode-per-week drama).
When it comes with local dramas, it always turn my off. Blockbuster? Magnificent cast? That's not the selling point.
Secret Garden is neither both. It's the plot and script that caught me.
A bit of synopsis just in case you are wondering what am I talking about. Secret garden, unlike the Korean version one, talks about dealing with mental and psychological issues on different individuals. What drives the ignition of these issues and illness, and how to overcome it.
The interesting part of the story is during the explanation on these, for example, depression and split personality causes.
Well, there are lots of super chim terminology. But good illustration visuals and metaphors are used. Every episode is just a lesson learnt.
Another thing is actors also play an important part in bringing life to the story, let alone the script.
Local drama lacks this ability, I guess. I'm enough with soap operas. Singapore living style might be the stand out point in local dramas, but don't overdo it. Or rather, I'm enough with this no-moral thing.
I know that some people might say I'm just a nobody, no rights to say. Or "if you are that good, go write the script lah."
Well, if I'm given the chance I seriously would like to.
Last but not least, Just a bit of my 2 cents thoughts, Yvonne and the Taiwanese actor is doing good, but Paige's acting is still a bit rigid. Well, still room for improvement, no doubt.
