OMG..Is that a song they're singing?

While waiting for the world cup football actions started at 10pm today, Layla Luna switched the tv channel earlier to a local tv station channel and guess what? A malay drama series was on air entitled 'Hotel Mania'.Well, just to share some of my own opinion, I can see this drama series was a cliche from US tv series 'GLEE' combined with 'HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL'. It was a below standard drama series although it was a hi-cost production from KRU. Below standard here means, the script was not align with the concept of the story, the storyline was not appropriate with the dialoge and lame/weak conflicts used such other similar malays tv series. And the most annoying thing in this show was the songs that the characters would sing ridiculously anywhere. Seriously, this type of drama series was created only to fullfil the needs of certain age group, not for all ages and it was a shame such drama genre still being produced while there are many other genre or concept to opt.

Frankly, I'm sick watching these types of tv/drama series and because of I didn't have enough money at this moment to produce my own drama series, if not I'd surely do my own show. E.g:

Real-time based drama; if you watched '24', you'd get the idea. But picked another conflicts rather than hostage situation. For example maybe use a  team in a certain sports competition, playing to win the matches. Put in there, the critical point of each character are facing during the match, the fatigue, the hecticness and maybe their own talking minds speaking.

Several points that I can see in good Film/drama series:


General story- mostly involving the surface of the story.
Matters: things that happened in the story.
Conflicts: problems that happened in the story.
Resolving the conflicts: either manage to resolve or not, but mostly in a film/ drama every conflicts will be resolved.

Enough said...singing in drama is not melodramatic, it's pathetic
