SERIES' SUMMARIES

Sometime in 2004 I began reviewing selected series in an episode by episode way, where I called these reviews EPISODIC THOUGHTS. These thoughts are mostly summaries of each and every episode with my opinion of that episode included in it as well. I may not provide the most in depth summaries but I am very proud of the fact that I could keep the writing on such a long winded basis each and every night for the entirety of the series. I don't do this for each and every series though because it kills a lot of brain cells, mine as well as fellow netizens who often joined in the discussion by posting informative stuff. These thoughts are still open for feedback and discussion. Do check them all out in REVIEWS where it is indicated with an  [E] next to my name.

Holland Village Episode 79 
Permanent link Post a Comment

I want to talk about this episode because I almost felt like throwing the TV out of the window.

The entire episode talks about carrot cake and kuih lobak. That is Hong Zhi is carrot cake that you will find in a posh restaurant and Jing Jing is the kuih lobak where you'll find in any pasar malam. What Jing Jing was saying of course the two don't mix at all, and so she is not in Hong Zhi's league. I find that insulting and offensive. Why can't a nice girl like Jing Jing not be compatible with a nice guy like Hong Zhi? She kept saying Hong Zhi is no longer Xiao Xin. Ok so his mom is a bit bitchy but can you blame the mother for complaining about his son's choice for his wife? Jing Jing is undeniably stupid and in this episode, undeniably low self esteem. Hong Zhi is like this inspiring motivation speaker, trying to talk some senses into her and she go blab about inappropriate things and in the end ended the engagement because she is kuih lobak. In the end she will marry the chicken rice seller.

There is nothing wrong about Ah Ming the chicken rice seller. A decent man with a decent business. There is absolutely nothing excellent about Hong Zhi, except he is rich, young, handsome and very inspiring. What I find offensive is Jing Jing. She herself created her own destiny and she go and say things like Xiao Xin is not Xiao Xin but Yu Hong Tzi. I was like, so? Even when he was Xiao Xin, he was very smart, very resourceful and someone you might expect to be a very successful man, even when he thought he was an illegal immigrant from China. For me Yu Hong Tzi is Xiao Xin.

So when she said that kuih lobak and carrot cake thingy, I was thinking we are Asians. An expensive carrot cake can be placed on the same table as kuih lobak to be enjoyed by all. Put in a lobster, tiramisu, roti canai, dim sum, nasi lemak ... whatever suits you fancy, just enjoy. So for me there is no distinction.

I am sure many Singaporeans watching this series might feel insulted by Jing Jing's reasoning. Well, I do think Hong Tzi should just marry Angel.

Anyway, I guess this is like the last time I will see handsome Hong Tzi. Feel a bit sad because now left only with one handsome guy in the show.

By the way anybody knows any fansite dedicated to this actor Shaun Chen? I found one on that Jing Jing girl. She was even top 20 in the recent Star Awards! I would have thought Shaun should be in top 20, because his expression in that scene when Jing Jing called off the engagement was very well done. It was like, "If you say so, what more could I say?" kind of look.

By the way the review template is 90% fixed. I just found out my tagboard has gone haywire, missing all the posts on AI3!!
