Devil Beside You on dramarama sa hapon.

          First it was Hanadan 2. Now, it’s Devil Beside You. Seriously, what is happening to GMA? If before, I was so eager to see this series on television, now I’m not happy with it being shown. First, I would not be able to watch it. Second, the time slot isn’t that great. I’m predicting that it would only gain a rating between 15-20 %. There’s this part of me that wishes that it would be shown in the summer, or even if it isn’t possible, GMA should put it in primetime. Third, I’ve seen the commercial, they’ve changed Ah Mon’s name to Bryan and Qi Yue’s to Queenie (I guess?), medyo okay na sana if only hindi ko narinig yung pagkakadub, OMG, yung voice na ginamit nila kay Mike doesn’t suit him, ewan ko ba. Lastly, I hate the fact that they’ve changed its title to “Devil Beside Me”, feeling ko ang laking pagkakaiba talaga. Di din masyadong attention getter ang trailer. Anyway.

 

            I’ve read sa Tsinoy na ipapalabas na nga daw siya, so okay, medyo ayos na din, pero kanina nung nakasakay ako sa MRT at napadaan sa harap ng GMA, nagulat ako sa title. I was like “Oh no x10”. Buti na lang yung pic ni Mike dun sa billboard e yung cute siya, kung hindi – arrrrgggghhhhhhhhh. Bakit ako nagsesemyento? It’s because Devil Beside You is one of my favorite series ever. Pero in fairness mas okay na din yung slot niya kung icocompare mo dun sa time slot ng It Started With a Kiss dati.

 

            Pero one thing I’ve noticed with our Local Television is that sobrang hilig talaga nila sa mga Koreanovelas. Hindi naman masyadong obvious na puro Koreanovela na lang ang pinapalabas nila tuwing gabi di ba? Wala pa atang ibang asian series na pinalabas ng 6pm onwards (I’m referring to our 2 giant networks).  Kasi hindi pa siguro pumapatok sa panlasa nang masa ang mga Jdoramas at Chinovelas, at kung may mga pumatok man dati, di na siya nasundan, or to put it into other words, di masyadong malakas ang hatak. How I wish na magboom na dito sa Pinas ang mga Jdrama, mas unique kasi yung mga stories nila and shorter. Yung chinovelas naman e mas funny and light hearted type. I have nothing against Knovela, kasi nag eenjoy din naman akong panuorin sila, ang sa akin lang dapat bigyan nang magandang exposures ang ibang series. Hmppp.
