How do i start this.....Ok, i watched the finale of this Philippine drama 2 hours ago and i was like, SERIOUSLY?! The ending was horrible, it was so horrible, did i just say horrible? it's horrible! It's so obvious i'm ranting eh?

To start off here's my very brief recap of this drama. The story revolves around a two star-crossed lovers of different race. A Human and a Lycan(sp please). Yep, that's right a human man and a Lycan girl who is destined to be the last guard or "huling bantay" of their race to prevent extinction form the curse-dying red moon.

And so their love story goes from childhood sweetheart who parted each other and united again by the stroke of faith. And so the likes of all melodramatic dramas, the me-against-the-world love story, contradicting race, the struggle of both races to supremacy which includes world domination (it's so true!), a biatch ex-boyfriend/girlfriend or on this case a biatch with an unrequited love, and of course the classic of all classics---the revenge of the sith! kidding. but you know the revenge business....so classic, whatever.


And to some point you enjoy the changing of skins by this Lycans ( its not we no? gah, i'm so distant!). Why, because they actually imported a white german wolf named Brasca. It's actually fun watching an actual wolf staring in a drama which for me is soo pricey!


To my further enjoyment, they used a black DOG for those Lycans who eat human flesh and needs to be killed because they turned bad or half-bad. but a DOG! it's so damned obvious, why didn't they photoshop the white wolf to black? or digitally done?

I remembered my 8 yr old niece galloping in glee when she saw the white wolf and the black DOG fought. she said something like this, "ne, tita the black one looks like PeeWee( our dog), who do you think is tougher?" then the DOG won. my niece screamed, "maaaa, amazing Peewee is tough!" then patted the lazy dog's head. do you see the moral of the story?? even my niece recognized it as a dog. ok, so maybe they're tight with budget.


Here comes the part I'm dreading, the finale. With so much promotion from the network you are lead to believe that maybe they will give a great finale or an amazing extraordinary ending. Sucks, it's even worse than that. It's so horrible i might want to cry. ok, that's exaggeration. But hey, the ending itself is a complete exaggeration and a bullshit.

They died right? the lovers. Or so they lead us to believe. Then at the ending, they suddenly entered as if nothing happened posing a very in-love couple like nothing mattered. What is that?! I mean, i'll buy it if they actually died because of all those power-power thingy the villain blasted towards you, hell you'll die right away.

And, there's no fairy tale ending to that kind of story. There is no fairy-tale ending to that kind of tragic love story even if its in the world of drama. There is no point in long reflective speeches if your enemy have powers that can put a big black hole to your stomach. And it is definitely a bullshit if they died and suddenly appeared at the end of the drama. As they said, "wala na uwian na, lokohan na to eh!" . hey, even Voldemort, the greatest villain, took decades to rise from the dead! But heck, it's fantasy and they catered it as Fantaserye, a "drama + fantasy".


I'm just hilariously disappointed I rant. and this became a very long post. But kudos for Angel Locsin eh, for dying sexily. She died dressed in spaghetti tops with a very short shorts and a sexy high-cut boots. haha! I don't really like Piolo, they said he's gay. For my mother's sake I don't have anything against Piolo, it's just my opinion and I' just voicing it out. Do not trash me. it's not my fault he looks gay-ish.

Ja ne!
