Why are so many Filipinos so gullible when it comes to Pinoy soap operas that come up? The reason for them to follow a TV show is the feelings they have on the stories. They don't think and analyze anymore! When one TV show had a star having amnesia in the plot, almost every soap that followed had stars having amnesia in the show!
Then there are the look-alike or twins where other characters are confused from one to the other. The stories hardly happen in real life! The latest on GMA 7 is one entitled "Temptation of Wife" that has a following at home. Having watched it twice or thrice with them, I said the show is stupid. They have a female star who is believed to have perished then came a look-alike girl who is also herself.
The stupid thing there is, some of the characters suspect her to be one and the same. The show makes it so difficult for them to prove she is one and the same when it is so simple! Lift off a fingerprint of the new girl and match it with the fingerprint the one who is supposed to be dead! Filipino TV networks are making big money and making viewers stupid.
Sounds like a rip-off of a US TV show - Ringer, starring Sarah Michelle Gellar
ReplyDeleteThanks Rommel. It is an adaptation of Korean TV soap with the same title. Philippine TV networks still don't know how to portray reality as it is.
