Critique...

Watching television shows is my hobby. If you had already read my entry “Addictive” you will know that I am an anime lover or a big anime fan. And in that entry of mine I said that I prefer to watch anime shows rather than watching any other television shows. But in this entry you can read my comparison between the “telenovelas” and “koreanovelas”. And on how I will criticize “telenovelas” and “koreanovelas”. In addition, these are only some of my views and opinions between telenovelas and koreanovelas so please respect it.



To start of is the span of the shows that will be shown or aired in the television. Filipinos originally make telenovelas and the actors portraying roles are also Filipinos. But what I am angry with is that their story is so confusing. And in addition, telenovelas lasts for about more than a year or more. While koreanovelas lasts only for about a maximum of five to six months.

Another bases for comparison is the show’s story. Philippine shows are a lot different from the Korean shows, American shows or any other shows in other parts of the world. Because our drama shows here in the Philippines is you can really say that it is a dramatic show because there’s the word drama. So there are a lot of crying scenes and stuffs that makes me so bore and I am already immune to it. When there are crying scenes in the show I can’t cry because I get used to it and that’s why I don’t want to watch that certain show. While Korea’s drama shows, eventhough there are crying scenes but it is only a few compared with telenovelas. Although it is a drama show or drama series it is fun to watch because there are many funny scenes. And also their love scenes could really make you feel how they love each other. Although there are also love scenes in telenovelas, but sometimes I can’t fell that there is love between the two actors because they only tell the words “I love you” to each other then followed by a kissing scene. But I can’t feel the emotion, their affection or any sort of sweet feelings. Why don’t they try to follow or a sort of observe how koreanovelas work on the Filipino people or what has koreanovelas that the mass love about it.



Lastly are the actors. Actors play a big role in the production of the show. They must have the charm, the beauty and most of all the acting skills. I know that our actor complied my standards but I guess some of our actors are over acting. And in addition, the staffs of the production must experiment new love teams to tandem in a show and must this love team must not be over used.

In general, I am not telling our directors, writers and the whole staff in our entertainment industry to copy how koreanovelas or any other shows in other parts of the world map were made or to copy its story. What I am trying to say am that writers must have effective writing techniques and must have a huge and creative imagination that would really make the Filipino mass embrace his or her work. And in the whole entertainment industry, I have a big respect on you and a salute for all of you hardships in order for us to feel happy.
