the princess and all the craps

Let me start this by admitting that i am old enough to watch this effin series. Yes. This series was not for me. It was meant for the teeny bumper of this generation. 

This was the first, of all honestly, teleserye i have watched every episodes. It's for the reason that i went here in Doha Qatar on April 5. The only thing to do those days was to watch every single television show of ABS, and coincidentally, Princess and I started April 16. From then on, I watched very single episodes online.

This is a total revelation. First, How powerful the Kid's generation these days. A big time production for the Youth. Second, that when you prolonged a show, it will end like shit. 3rd, That a story conference held prior to the show can change.

I am rooting for Jaomik, making me a member of the KathQuenatics fandom. It all started sa pagpapapansin sa twitter. Nakikitrend lang ba? Pero it continued until the good episodes of Jaomik were dismissed. 

It was not the "MIGI" endgame that was depressing. Kahit sa umpisa pa lang naman na nagpakita si Gino, I knew it will be them on the end. The show just missed to enlightened us with some strong points. 

1st, Where is the redemption for Jao? I mean, yes, he said sorry on their 'about wedding' day, but, he still did not believe that Mikay went to wait for her in the bukal. He still believed that it was just a plan so Jao will be captured. Sana naipakita man lang nila na nalaman ni Jao na nagpunta si Mikay sa bulag para mas na-realize nya na mali yung ginagawa nya kay Arreyah. Sana bago sya nagpunta sa Kasal nila ni Mikay, Pinakita nila na nagpunta sya sa bulag, nandun yung origami, natakpan ng bato o putik at dun na realize nya na "Ah, totoo ang sinasabi ni Mikay, nagpunta sya dito". Because if i do remember on an episode where they have confrontation, Mikay said "nagantay ako Jao", but Jao answered "ah, ako nga pala ang di nakarating" in a note that he did not believe Mikay.

Secondly, I hoped that there was a person who explained Jao how devastated Mikay when Jao was forcefully evicted to Yandon. Pwede si Dinoy, si Anand, kahit si Vicky. I remembered nasabi ni Vicky na "ganyan din po si Mikay dati, di makakain" but it stopped there. Jao was still in rage kaya di nya napansin yung sabi ni Vicky. Pero sana uli, bago ang 'about-wedding' nila, May nakakwentuhan si Jao about sa depression ni Mikay, para lalo syang nakonsensya at di nya tinuloy ang kasal. 

Third,  So who ruled Yangdon after? Kahit sabihin natin na nagkaisa ang lahat, Kanluran pa din ang naghari, wala naman representative ang Silangan. Kanluran pa din nanalo. Where was Sivaji? Pumayag kaya sya na ikulong sya? I hoped it was shown that He regrets his decision to betray Anand, ask forgiveness and has been forgiven.

It was crystal clear it would be MIGI in the end. But it was depressing, how it started so strong and ended very weak, very weak that you can't even compare the ending to "Walang Hanggan". It would have been justified kung sana isang taga Silangan nalang ang namuno sa huli, then Gino and Mikay left the thrown for Jao and lived a simple life. ever after. 

How should it ended?

for me, aside from the things i mentioned. It should have been a confrontation in a dramatic scene (of course after all the craps of barilan, baliwan). Because until the last time before he was gun shot, Jao was portrayed the bad guy. He was not given a chance to explain.

Jao should have confessed that He all did this to protect her from the queen. Para di sya magalaw ni Ashi kasi lagi nya sya kasama. Jao would then ask Mikay if the latter still loves him. And Mikay will answer

"Mahal kita Jao, Minahal kita. Pero mas Mahal ko na si Gino. Parati ka paring asa puso ko Jao". then Jao decided to become a monk, and MiGi got married. 

I hungered for a better MiGi ending (even i'm purely kathquenatics). Sayang talaga. Sayang.
