I swear, Channel8 serial dramas belong to the pits. The scripts are so flawed and silly they might as well have been written by 10 year olds.
For the lack of better things to watch, I had to resort to Channel8 and suffice to say, my flabber was gasted. And here's 3 examples of how retarded the scripts are, all of which took place over a short span of what, 2 minutes?
So there's this guy running away from the police. And they eventually enter a multi-story carpark. This ALWAYS happens, doesn't it? If you thought that's stupid, wait, for here comes retarded-ness one.
They're running in the carpark and lo and behold, a man pushing a trolley comes along. The chaser and the chased then proceeds to jumps over the trolley. Is that stupid or is that stupid? I would understand if it were a whole line of trolleys but ONE?! HOHO. Can't they just like side-stepped?
Then the chased heads for the ramp and so happens there's a on-coming car. He proceeds to grab on to the beam above him and swing himself to the side. Now that's a good idea and would have made an exciting stunt if only they didn't show how wide the ramp entrance was. He could have simply, once again, made a slight adjustment in the direction in which he was running and just avoid the on-coming car completely. It's like how you would walk at the side of a road when you have to go against traffic.
The chased then runs into a tunnel. Surprise surprise, he gets trapped. A fight then begins of which can only come out of a video game. They could have shot fireballs at each other and it wouldn't seem, in the slightest, out of place.
Did I mention that there was a lot of crying? Whoever wrote the script must have been thinking it would be great to bank on the Korean wave thingy. In any case, BAD move.
All I can say is. Try harder.
Sigh. I don't know if it makes sense to you but it does to me.
I need cable desperately.
